Play 'Insects in Space' on DeepSID

STIL comment	The game allows you to adjust the filter by pressing the + and - keys. This rip is set to the default. "I am sorry to see that most composers these days don't have access to the kind of tricks I was able to do (being a programmer), which for example allowed me to create the 'buzzing bees' effect at the beginning of the tune. Too bad, eh?" "Well by the time I got to that game (1988) I was a bit hard up for ideas. I didn't know what to do with so few notes available! I wanted my tunes to build up into much larger entities but I always hit this limit. Plus the time at which that game was developed was a pretty rough time for Sensi, none of us were too happy at the time. Insects In Space was a victim of this. True though, it certainly has 'character', but it just doesn't go on LONG enough, don't you agree?" (MG)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

NecroPolo:
It does have a nice old-school feel. I absolutely dig it. Awesome production work!
nummer2:
Absolutly brilliant work on this sid. Love this bassline. There are always some variations in this mix so it never get boring for me. Great work 😊
Boz:
One thing that Peter is good at is filling in the gaps in otherwise sparse tunes. He doesn't disappoint in this tune.
Makke:
Mustard cuttingly good!
omoroca:
I love the bassline and the bassdrum. Added to my collection.
Melaure:
Very good despite too repetitves loops sometimes
condor:
Sounds like a background demo track. Nice details, but it remindes me to much of Greece 2000
Ahriakin:
An excellent arrangement of a none-too-inspiring tune, extra kudos for working with difficult source material. I really like the washes and production, just not an awful lot for you to work with.
LaLa:
Rather enjoyable arrangement, electronica well-done.
vurtx:
Nicely trippy and the pads are excellent, I think it would be better without any drums as an ambient piece though.
Dr Future:
Nice work, Peter. Really boosts the original SID on a new level. But isn't the synth's name Gladiator 2?
k_rostoen:
Desipte all the repeating sequences, I don't get tired of this tune. Great work. Love the bass instrument.
Waz:
Considering there isn't that much you can do with the original tune, it's a very good job all round to bring it more to life. One background high pitched noise does annoy on occasion though, but otherwise very good.
prowler:
I appreciate the serious work put into this track, it's a difficult tune to remix for sure. But not being an Insects In Space fan, I can't find much that exites me in this track. Excellent production though.
