STIL comment"I used to love playing this arcade machine when we had got it at the offices at Elite, those Easter Island type stone heads that flew towards you were especially effective. The original in game tune had got a memorable melody so I decided to stick to it. The middle section of my version may be original though, the tune plays a little faster than on the arcade machine. This was due to the fact that my routine didn't contain a fractional timer at that point. Speeds were determined by the shortest note length which could be 1,2,3 or 4 etc. The speed differences were thus 100%, 50,33% etc. with no in between values. The rest of the tunes in the set are original compositions I think, maybe tune 2 was close to the arcade version." (MC)

The style is not for me but what could I say for such a quality work? Hats off!

Crispy mix, thumping base, thoughtful production. Bach would be proud of it.
Amok:
Excellent production!
Sixty_four:
Very nostalgic impression!
infamous:
A line that was always just begging to be turned into a trance tune, and it has a wee little dubsteppy section in the middle to keep it modern nicely produced too
SarahKreuz:
Pretty cool
Dr Future:
Nice mixture of some classical bits and dance-music.
omoroca:
Technically brilliant version of this wonderful SID. But not my cup of tea!
Nordwind64:
Too much techno, to less melody.
