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.

omoroca:
Is this a preview? Then, where can I buy the complete song? It's soft and sweet like angels' wings. But where's the rest of it? Or is that already it? Well, then it's not Outstanding but only Very Good. Still added to my collection.
kaus:
Easy but great interpretation of an unforgettable melody
marko42:
Relaxing
Dan:
Just doesnt catch my attention enough, def lacks some tweaking and something original in there to make it a little longer
Makke:
Smoooth-ah!
Waz:
Nice enough, even if the intro bit doesn't inspire that much, and it feels a little flat in parts. That said it is listenable enough with good use of instruments. Maybe needs a bit more tweaking?
Tas:
Nice sounds, but there's just a little of that empty feeling to it that just needs something else to bring out the tune.
Skitz:
Nice mellow piece, just needed a little humanizing and bass is too high in mix…
trez:
Sounds a bit tinny, but very smooth.
LMan:
Was going to givie this a higher rating… And then it suddenly faded out.
anaconda:
Ok tune. Good sound.
Bundi:
Not my Style…
ifadeo:
Sounds unfinshed…
Chris Abbott:
I'm biased. I've done five versions of this and they're all better than this one.
romeo_knight:
There's nothing wrong with it. But there's nothing good either. Ah wait: It's too short and the drums are too thin.
eliot:
Dull, lifeless
