Story
I was actually working on this remix when news came that Johannes had passed. For a while, I stopped working on it, but then realised there's no better way to honour a composer than to remix their work. Sweet has been remixed a number of times, and I tried to capture the sadness of the tune, but also make it uplifting at the close. The choice of title (Bitter Sweet) is pretty self explanatory. Gone but never forgotten amongst SID fans - his music will always live on.
Many thanks to Danko for some great mastering.

Not one of Tomsk's best and I would have like to had a little bit more choir in this… But Sweet is on the C64s best tunes so it's hard not to upvote and enjoy the heck out of it.
Fantastic arrangement, brilliantly mixed, great work Tomsk!
Fantastic arrangement with a good selection of instruments
