STIL comment"[...] The Delta music loader and ingame music was Gary Liddon's idea. [...] He was the producer at Thalamus at the time. He told Rob Hubbard to make the ingame music like the 2nd track from Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd." (Info from Matt Furniss.) "The small jingles are all small clips from Sanxion and Romeo/Juliet music. They were all supposed to be for short stingers such as end of level, extra life etc..." "Delta was based on this minimalist composition technique inspired by Glass and a bit of Pink Floyd. It was quite hard to do and required some custom code to the driver to do it. The music was tedious to debug. The other Delta stuff was more conventional - I quite liked the other tunes. Delta was spread over a 2 week period....." (RH) According to Hubbard, Kentilla and Delta were the most complicated one to compose, they took the longest time to do and they both drove him insane.

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

pixelhaufen:
Oh its just great! I am in love with this track.
orsted:
Could use better mixing, love it though.
anaconda:
OH NO! Yet another delta remix. But wait! This one is actually great! Should have worked a bit more on the lead synth to reach the ace position of the remixes though.
akapype:
Good beat, clear sounds. Maybe a bit too commercial to be really 'outstanding'?
prowler:
Good stuff! Would almost made an red one if it wasn't trying too much effects-hunting. Like the jamming around 4:20!
snorski:
Very enjoyable…
Skitz:
It's a great approach to something that has been remixed so much. This is a very nice version and only misses an outstanding because of some weak instruments
Ziphoid:
I like this, even though some sounds could be enhanced a bit. Some quite nice touches in there.
LMan:
A dancefloor rendition of Delta. Lead sound's a little thin, still pretty nice.
Tas:
Foot tapping, and enjoyable.
condor:
Hat is a bit too loud, still, I like the ides 😊 But, Beat is in front (through entire track) instead melody.
jaytee:
I used to listen to this SID for hours on end. A nice approach here and well done, but missing the escence of the original which made it so great in the first place. A really good try though.
the_jinx:
It's nice but for a Delta remix to get a high score in this day and age it still lacks… Something…
romeo_knight:
Some good, some bad, same mediocre issues here!
eliot:
3: beat too fast for me, some wrong notes - maybe this was done intentionally, sounds weak… +1: Some nice ideas, I suggest you ask Mr. Abbott to help out 😃
klosterkatten:
Good one, but could be even better.
Chris Abbott:
I know what I would have done to this to knock it up a notch: the musical nuances of the tune kind of escaped, but a good try. Worth a download.
Waz:
Good enough, and danceable I suppose, but it doesn't have any feeling or emotions for me. And it still reminds me of Koyaanisqatsi…
Dan:
I would have marked this down a little if it wasnt for that tingle when you hear Delta, guess Ill never get that Euro dance thing
omoroca:
Too trancy! The wonderful Delta melody loses too much emphasis.
