this is so underated.. wtf. for me it would be a perfect highscore tune. especially for games like ARMALYTE, URIDIUM or ALLEYKAT. okay, lets say it's a highscore space ballad ;-)

I love the sounds and arrangement, but can't imagine this as high-score ballad.

Again beautiful instrument and I prefer this tune over the other. Love the timestamp and the melody that starts at 0:56.

Thank you and nevermind!

The guy who voted '3' knows how challenging creating sid music can be best - being all grumpy about the rating of his own entry and thus downvoting his competitors is perfectly understandable :) Cheers!

Phat bass, but the melody is very chaotic in my ears.

I triggered certain freq-, filter- and pulsetable settings at a definite moment in time, fella!

A 10 from me. I'm weak for 7/8. :)

Linus, I wonder what this tune would have sounded like if you had dared to make it less prog and more commercial? That is the good thing about you, that's something will never happen. :) Sounds are in a league of their own, atmosphere is spot on, but I have issues getting past the tempo.

this is really an awesome tune, even tho it's short ive had it on repeat for an hour now.

again phat and nice. would be excellent fit to a game like armalyte for me.
hmmm unsettled? isn't it dubstlye related with those breaks/cuts? then you could say it's overdubbed of course ;-)

I'm amazed by your instruments. And the overall mood and execution is something I really like as well.

@Stinsen: It is an acquired taste indeed, I have to admit ;) Keep up the good work, btw!

This seems a bit out of control.

The intro, or first 40 seconds or so seconds of the music, seems unsettled. Like everything is thrown at the listener at one time, in mid-mix.
Once the third voice hits, or main voice, everything seems to be in place.

I wish I was good with remembering tunes as this sounds a little familiar too. I'm past the 5 minute marker and haven't noticed a "wrap", so that's a good sign too. I can't stand songs that stop suddenly or can't mix back into themselves.

That's not plain at all Linus and you know it ;) Still, after looping it a couple of times it makes sense. :D

Awesome instruments, but the time signature is too weird for me.

wonderful in every aspect -> strong sounds, catchy melodies, dreamy athmosphere, progression and originality. confirmed to be the best tune in the compo... for me that is. <3

I love it dear brother Linus :-)
Catchy and yet special as you handle perfect as always. :-)

Great :D

It fits in my head too, it's laden with progressive 70s positivity.

enter name please - hell yeah - and look! I can fit my whole first name in those three letter slots at the top for initials!

Thanks, guys! In my world the tune fits quite well but then again I am a discipline of the church of canterbury prog rock ;) I see where you're coming from.

EDIT: about the song: yikes, heavy bass going on here. Really cool sounds. Can hardly believe that this comes out of my C64/stereo :-)

Great to see Linus contributing too! Not much high-score feelings though, like I see it. Soundwise ace once again.

What Frantic said ;)

For high score purposes I think the "intro" is a little too long, since people rarely spend a lot of time in the high score list anyway.

..but apart from this, which doesn't really matter in a way, this is a very nice tune!
