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:

komet:
A rather standard technoish effort. Good pumping kick although more drive & energy could be added. Also, sorry but there is a couple of wrong notes in there. On the upside shows that you didn't just use SID2MID.
Nebdar:
It is quite good nothing special but good and thats good, keep it up up up
condor:
It's good one, but sounds like many other Delta remixes… Nothing new.
Chainsaw:
Good idea. In my oppinion a stronger lead tune would be better. And the remix is a little bit to long. But anyway: GOOD
LaLa:
If there weren't gajillions of similar Delta remixes out there already, I may have rated this higher. But as it stands, it's rather average amongst a sea of averages.
LieMfB:
Sounds fine, but to me this is a bit average techno. Nothing that stands out too much.
