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:

Melaure:
Great!
REYN:
A great remix again… I like it when it's not timed and played on the grid to get a nice live feel, although this one could just need a little beatdetective. A bit over the line. But instrumentation etc is great. And very Ronny Jordan indeed, Zyron.
zyron:
Groovy. This one gives me Ronny Jordan vibes. Very very nice!
LMan:
Groooooooooooooooooooooooooovy!

Very relaxed! Not too long. And my gf likes it too 😉

I see this as the main tune of Paperboy 2006 😉 The main guitar could have been muted differently in the beginning.

Nice jazzy version of paperboy… Feels very Live… Sort of music you'd hear in a late 60's bar, great stuff.
snorski:
Funky

Nada has been listening to Moog's remixes - this is just SMOOTH!!!

Thats cool I like it!
Tas:
Very well done from Nada again.

This is rather nice and laid back, and it just has the right side of lounge lizard feel to make you chilled out and relaxed. Excellent stuff, this.
Gildan:
Completely laid back with such a groove you cant help but get up and girate
omoroca:
Stylish swing version. Not my cup of… Youknowwhat.
crik:
I like this, it seems a moby tune

Besides a few timing issues and the fact the rhythm is slightly stiff and one dimentional, this is a classy and inspiring piece of work, very funky!

Nicely done.

Well done but not my kind of music I like…
cat:
Very boring. Sorry
