Story
After listening to some fresh sounds from Hamburg, I decided to give IK a makeover with some smooth German-extra-minimalistic elements.
That went well. For like 2 patterns. It happens often: I start out with an idea that gets distorted over time. Perhaps not so strange, as I worked with this tune for over a month (me and my wife had a son during the process ).

The result? A housey, NOT very minimalistic tune at all. But can IK really fit in casual house-clothing? I’m not sure, you be the judge. This time I fiddled around a lot with the sounds from the original SID, and came to the conclusion that one should never underestimate the power of our beloved soundchip (duh).

Oh, yes! This one's a keeper! The SID is put to good use to enhance and brighten up the arrangement! Is nice, I like!
On very rare occasions people use the SID to enhance a mix, not depend on it. This is one of those cases. It flows along effortlessly and is nice and bright and summery (considering it's winter here). Maybe a little too long but it gets the job done.
OMG - Mr Krafft is producing some priceless remixes! This is how to use SID sounds in a remix! Fantastic sound.... Keep 'em coming!
Loved it from the first second. Totally killer tune.
Sweetly done, just knocked the vote down a bit due to the length and aint THAT catchy
As Waz said the use of SID enhances and doesn't depend. The right way to incorperate SID imho.
This SO needs vocals. The best thing I've reviewed today.
Now, this is just lovely. It's the SID. And drums. And bleeps. And not the SID. It's just a perfect blend between own stuff and the original track. Top stuff!
Good effort, especially the SID sounds.
Excellent tune indeed, but as they say, a bit to long.
Intro is very strong - I like most: great use of the SID-sounds. The rest dont get me, but thats personal taste.
Great arr, relaxing and evocative of good ol' times
Very good job
This is really cool. In my mind it got some Pink Floyd/The Wall-ish to it, but that's probably just me :)
Nice work, it falls short for being a little much the same idea as everyone else has had with this tune.. But it works really well.
Great ambiance, mixing electrosound and oldskool.
So many versions of this but what makes this STAND out is the arrangment - its simply top of the IK pile gets a very good from me - nice work and congrats on the baby!!!!
This one gets an outstanding because it's one of the best uses of SID in a remix. Very well done.
Very nice track...
The SID synth combo best on the site. Simply RED all over!
Very nice!
Technically, this remix sounds great, but I don't like the arrangement. It goes left and right, up and down, never settles, there's no cohesion in it - I find that very unnerving and unsettling.
Very good tune, soft and nostalgic arr
Great use of the sid stuff, technically very well done, but a tad longish and I personally miss some emotional impact in this... Deserves a thumb up anyhow.
Rocks
Nope!
Atmospheric, a little raw in places, but the soundscape carries well.
Slow and relaxing
Great atmospheric techno influences and yet not too hard
What do you get if you mix IK with i-Ball and add an Ambient/Trance-background? Just wondering :-)
YES
Really a different take on this classic.
Excellent, original
This is goood - love the music style
This is very pleasing to the ears.
