STIL commentThe driver has a parameter to adjust the filter, but the game does not use it. "I remember I squeezed the code & data for 25 sound-effects into 923 bytes - not bad, eh?" (MG)

  Comment: "The most complex original tune I did was the 'Times Of Lore' title tune, it took 20 days just to do the guitar solos! It has a random number generator which selects different guitar solos, but I didn't realise that people wouldn't leave it looping for its 11-minute duration so the work all got sort of wasted." (MG)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

Dr.Piotr:
Living guitar I liked
hillsman:
It was Galway meets Floyd, though the unusual lead undermined the proggy vibe. Well put together tho
NecroPolo:
Nice work but due to the positive feel that the whole track oozes the tune lost its edge somehow. It feels a little like Darth Vader in pink armor to me.
ChrisBond:
Nice and solid work - didn't like the froggy lead at 1:08 - rest is fine
LaLa:
Kudos for the creative arrangement that adds new elements to this tune to keep it going for nearly 4 minutes. Well done!
Dr Future:
MRT, you really got it!
