STIL comment"I tried to create this feeling of a massive behemoth robot monster on its way to destroy you. Thus the marching beat and the minor chords and stark tones. I had to stick in the inevitable jamming solo towards the end of course. I was starting to face the glass ceiling imposed by the filter on the C64. While my particular SID sounded great, others were not like it at all and the solos were almost inaudible! At the other extreme the new C64C's were coming out and this filter unreliability had been fixed as part of a silicon revision. BUT the filters were way too open all the time and you could hardly hear any filtering! This caused the filtered note to come out a lot louder than it should have and 'stick out' rather unattractively. So I developed a 'filter adjustment' parameter for my music program which would allow the customer to control this filter unreliability and get their particular machine to sound cool. But David Collier never put it in the options screen. (DOH!) There's always something wrong, eh?" (MG)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

bastard:
This grows with me, and I want more when it ends. The vocoder is perfect for this piece.
tim_forsyth:
I adore the rhythmic tapping and setup at the start, likewise the vocoder at the end but I feel this needs to be longer and take you on a journey
DMC:
The style is very unique. Not what's usually to be expected when listening to a Johan Andersson track. But exactly that makes it special. I love this style. I love the vocoder (that came as a suprise really!) and I love the message! Well done!
Dr Future:
The vocoder is very nice, otherwise it doesn't catch me the way Johan normally does.
