This is a very ambitious remix! Unfortunately, it falls a bit short on several occasions.
I smiled during the first few beats - can't do much better than that signature original ring-modulated SID sound! ๐The build-up in the intro is done really, really well. It builds tension, as it should. As the layers of sounds come in one after the other - impressive! All culminating in that electric guitar lead - very nicely done!
Then it starts to fall apart for me starting at around 1:20 when the chords don't seem to match the original SID any more. It all just sounds a bit off to me.
We seem to be back to normal after 2:06. The choice of lead instrument here - that percussive synth - was a good one, but the quality of the instrument could be better. I do enjoy the appearance of the choir, though.
Overall, again, I totally appreciate the ambitiousness of this arrangement, it just doesn't quite live up to its promise.
