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:

Cyanuric:
Need some more work, sound is too filtered out of lower freq. Could use 2 or more instruments to fill it up. Some high and low points as well maybe
LaLa:
Very smooth lead sound, but I dislike the drums, they sound very thin. The arrangement could use some more layers.
ulfepulf:
Delta is my favourite game tune of all time. Please, a little more effort?
