Story

I was approached by Adder of Triad, who wanted a c64 remix for his Amiga demo.
At first I was a bit confused and thought that there was perhaps a language barrier issue here, but turns out that was exactly what he was looking for.


We went through a bunch of SIDs to try to find something that would feel appropriate for the demo, and eventually landed on this one.


And again, Vaggelis Papadopoulos made a heoric effort and lifts the track to completely new heights with his awesome guitar work!

I loled so much with the title 😊. Always a pleasure to work with you Slaygon! I love the outcome!!
omoroca shouts:
It starts out so nicely synthy, but when the electric guitar kicks in, althought well played, it somehow doesn't fit in for me.

I really like this one! Sent me back in time and gave me that boyroom feel. Playing a cool new game and dreaming of one day being able to make music. Fuel for what was to be, and still is, the best thing ever; To make music inspired by what pixels, chip sounds and code could accomplish together. Nicely done!

Yeah, totally agree with the subtitle - were it not for Vaggelis' guitar shredding, I would've rated this tune a grey at max.NAAAH! Just kidding! 😁 Great collab all around!
