Play 'Parallax' on DeepSID



STIL commentBefore starting on this game Galway bought Rendez-Vous (by Jean Michel Jarre). He listened to it daily. His CD player broke 2 weeks later and didn't get repaired for 2 months, during which time Martin worked on Parallax, without realizing that Rendez-Vous was unconsciously creeping into the music. He realized it only after he played the album again after the game was already shipped. "[Parallax] was 11 minutes long, certainly my longest at the time. I took my development gear home to work on it for a week or two. I just said to myself 'OK, it's going to be this mega-tune, so the intro has to be mega'. The intro took up two-thirds of the tune! I actually got bored with it, and stuck that silly melody on the end which doesn't really match. Going back I would have made it less melodic. I wanted to reflect the gigantic visual proportions represented by the parallax effect in the game so that's why it has an 'epic' feel."(MG)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

drm:
I'm going to give this a very good simply because it's nice to hear a live sax solo with a bluesy feel & sounds a bit like its from a David Lynch Movie😊 If the Sax was more in tune and the beginning wasn't so long b4 the Sax it would be excellent!
Hakko1999:
Nice
eliot:
Quite nice… But the question remains if dance and sax should be mixed…
LaLa:
It's a good idea in need of a lot of refinement. I would concentrate more on improvizing the sax lead rather than trying to stick to the original too hard.
Waz:
The instruments don't do anything that interesting, and when the sax finally kicks in, it's just too late. And it's out of tune in parts, which is a cardinal sin.
_steve_:
The intro is nice, but too long, and sadly as mentioned, the sax - while a nice idea, suffers with bad timings and wrong notes, which ultimately ruin everything.
prowler:
This was one strange parallax-mix…
omoroca:
Starts out really really nice, but when the sax kicks in, everything's ruined. Not only the playing is bad but also many wrong notes from other remixes have found their way into this one. Remixes should be based on the original SID, not on other remixes.
bratac:
Again the notorious wrong notes kill this one.
