Excellent sound design as always from you. I would say, that you have brought your SID sound as close to real world audio mastering as possible.

Thanks everyone for the favorable feedback, I truly appreciate it!!

GH: I guess it's a matter of perspective. With your background and preference for jazzy chords and complex leads, I understand why you feel this way. Personally I'm quite fond of, in comparison, rather simple and catchy melodies, and thematic repetitions.

I totally admire you guys for being able to come up with highly sophisticated and complex compositions, which is frankly something I am at this point not able to do. And maybe that's for the better, too.

Anyway my sincerest thanks for your reflection!

Another mile stone and killer intro or even better, another Sunrise at Uluru :D

It's all been said before.

Marcus, you certainly have your own unique style. The Instrument Design and Rhythmic Drumbeat Arp Delay Pattern Technics are top notch and all put at their very right timed rows.
Little accents and novelties appear now and then and the use of Filters is amazing!

That all said I still can't get used to your repetitive style of Leads :D:D:D

*It appears Gerard was brainwashed by his music teachers who forced him to stick to non popular scales nobody likes*

Although I like your chords (Harmonic-wise) the Lead notes you play on them sound like a Backing-track to me and not like first Lead !

Hope this makes sense at all... :D

Maybe you do this on purpose (since earlier songs have the same Lead approach) to make it feel more easy listening. Mainstream.
Or the way of playing the notes on certain areas give less restrictions to gain the effects you want?

Well in any case, keep up the good work and thanks for all the love , time and effort you put into this!

I'm in the middle of a non-C64 period of time for a while (lots of other stuff burning time unfortunately and I do admit that I miss abusing my 8580 chip), I just logged in to say,

LMan you rule! What a great sounding track, man!

Wow. Unbelievable. At times it sounds like there are 3 independently controlled filters. Witchcraft! Confess, repent and you may be spared!

Nice gfx, PilLeMan! :) The music isn’t far from, at the very least, okayish either.

Seriously, the production is slick as a whistle and I even considered bowing down for a second.

Keep it up, mate!

@celticdesign: devil is always in the details. sometimes you change mere cutoff, one frame of wavetable, choose different pitch for modulator and suddenly BOOM! ;)

Nextgen wat!?!? Similar sounds exists before, no?!
Beside of that... Awesome job and you surely deserve the award for being one of the best composers in C64 history ever.

Amazing use of the SID, I'm flabbergasted how many apparent channels there are, even though it's still just 3 SID channels... you crazy, brilliant (L)Man... Very proud you put this also under the Maniacs of Noise label. Nice artwork too. True artist at work in many ways.
