STIL comment	"We had this coin op in the office at Elite and we spent many an hour 'researching' it. The music however used many channels and didn't have a particularly catchy theme so I did an original composition. The tune is a bit on the weird side but I thought that it went quite well with the fairly slow pace of the cycling round the streets bit of the game. On the coin op there were a number of speech samples and some of these were put into the Amiga version of the game which did have the original music." (MC)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

Waz:
Really enjoyed the laid back feel of this one - plenty of classical touches and gentle ambient sways. The lead unfortunately needs changing though, it's a bit weak and needs to be a bit more emotive. Excellent feel all round otherwise, though.
Tas:
Yay CZ is back… New style for him too. Everything rings quality although I feel the lead is a little weak, shame that. Still nice stuff this.
omoroca:
I like the slow tempo. The tune sounds better this way than it did in the original SID. But the SID is too repetitive for a full-length remix, so this one gets boring after like 2 minutes. Good mixing, though!
nec5:
This is an interesting and plodding approach. It's not boring, but it doesn't quite have the kick.
Dan:
Great to see CZ back but I got a little bored with the mix and the lead is ringing in my ears
Makke:
Clear and pleasant mixing here, but my ears just don't agree with those drums. They're boring to death in my opinion. Part from that a good mix!
infamous:
Clear sound… No more sid noises either… Showing a fair bit of progression… But pretty much a 1:1 copy of the original tune which I am finding harder and harder to live with, its all been done before. But this is still a very competent tune.
eliot:
One of my all time favourite SIDs… This remix had become red if Chris has choosen more realistic instruments and a softer drum pattern
LMan:
Some parts sound so much like an Amiga mod it's untrue - I reccomend updating the soundbank with samples of higher frequencies.
anaconda:
The lead is annoying and the xylophone or whatever it is, is too sloppy. Sounds a bit too much computer made. The last part pushes it up to a Good mark.
LaLa:
Unfortunately, slowing this tune down was a bad decision: somehow the very soul of this piece is lost at this speed. Nice drums, though!
c64glen:
The original speed was good, this version is tooo slow and mornful
ifadeo:
Sorry, it doesn't work for me…
nettuno:
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
