SID originals that are actually covers

This kind of information is (usually, but not always) included with STIL, but anyways, does not seem to be common knowledge here and there.

Personally, i was a bit surprised to learn about:

Zoids - Synergy - Ancestors
International Karate - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Turrican Title Theme - Transformers (1986) - Escape (and the end tune, too)
Lazy Jones - Star Dust - Electronic Ensemble - It Happened Then

What else is notable, from the top of your heads? =)

I read in the comment section of the C64 Title Tune of "Nemesis The Warlock" on youtube, that it allegedly quotes parts of the Soundtrack of "The Long Good Friday" (1980), composed by Francis Monkman, and lo and behold: at 1:35:00ff (remastered Blu-Ray timing), there is indeed a portion (starting at 0:04 in this video snippet) of a very similiar melody as in Nemesis The Warlock. Not only the same notes, but also repeated twice. I wanted to check the OST for the track name, but it sadly is somewhat of a damn rarity.

Ofcourse Rob has added like 99% awesomeness around that bit, but i find it is some interesting trivia.

for a very long time i though JCH's "sandra secret land" was original .. as it didn't chart in the UK..

the JT accelorator mix is YES's owner of a lonely heart (the trevor horn era)

It's a case of how clued you are about chart music etc. I notice much love for "DM" in c64 demos.. martins a very nice bloke.

Also a few c64 folk are doing pro audio stuff.. not gonna say who , but synth presets (done by a vibrant) and a cakewalk synth were done by a scener

sure there are plenty more who got into DSP etc. due to the sid chip

Krill : the lazy jones thing was probably originally a re-take on kernkraft 440's zombie nation.. who sampled / discogs would show up who was first i guess


4:48.. IK / bowie .. by mr sid ripper

not ya usual pop music.. but this producer liked c64 arps.. I remember giving him the disk to do it. (he just muted the drums on the sid track + reverb)

Did you check when Zombie Nation was released? Better check the facts first before posting here.

Quote: Also (onto demos now), Sweet Infection by Arise... the first tune by Randall (Hate Bush) I always expected to be original... then later he gave me a CD mix of Polish songs ranging from 70s to early 2010s, one track in particular (I think from late 90s or early 2000s) I immediately caught it's similarities to a particular part of the SID tune. It's titled in Polish of course so I can't remember what it's called. :) He may be able to help you here.

I don't hear any correlation between Sweet Infection and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEsBrFeB-8s
it's really a cover of it?

I don't think it even pretends to be original, but STIL information is missing for this remix of Crockett's Theme:
https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/S/Sequencer/Crckt..

Recognisable cover part doesn't start until 1:07 or so.
