STIL comment	"After we got the contract [for Gordian Tomb] with a good value of money, we discussed how to divide it to the people. This was a mess. We at least lost some days of programming. Michael [Detert] was menacing with a dropout if Thomas didn't compose the music. So I thought ok, we are a team and I am busy with programming - why not? But then we couldn't unite about the amount of money. Thomas should get the twice of a normal level for a salary. If I had been a better businessman these days I had done everything by myself, but at least we had a great time and a lot of fun. And the teamwork was always accurate. Finally Thomas had known that the salary was overdrawn and he repaid every dollar with the longest music ever [32:06 minutes] on Commodore 64." (Info from Markus Schneider). "I had no Editor for our Music-Routine at that time, so i was forced to compose and arrange some of my early Game-Tunes with the SOUNDMONITOR. My brother Michael transfered the music data into our Routine while i was drinking lots of coffee in his room. It was a PITA for him and took ages, but it was worth the output." (TD)

Comment:	The original release has a protection which overlaps a fraction of the music data, causing dirty sounds in this tune (most notably, the bass). The game was also released without protection and with correct data, which is present in this rip.

It is quite good one and I really love it… (but it seems hrad to get the real thomb)
prowler:
Great psy-trance, but all the echo effects and stuff kind of buried the tune altogether…
Skitz:
I applaud the production of this PSY-Trance remix but to me the original Gordian Tomb tune is totally lost in the ambience of this remix
Gildan:
Different in a kind of a mess on a plate way, captures the sid tho
Dr-Duke:
Very nice unz. But way too psy for my taste. Average, sorry.
weasel:
UNZ… UNZ… UNZ… Is simply OUT OF STYLE these days! Please be _more_ creative instead!🫤
LPChip:
Playing a bass in a completely different key than the melody really doesn't do it for me. (in the intro part)
