Damn. Non sequitir, I know, but my automobile is on its last legs and I've been car-shopping lately. A very painful experience when one has limited funds :) Anyways, I've made some time at the last minute tonight (this morning?) to post an excellent c64 ReMix from newcomer Gustav Taxen, from Rob Hubbard's score to the shooter Delta. Introing with some seriously cool, Pink Floyd-ish ominous ambient effects, things get techno as a synthline fades in and build quickly to the beat intro around 0'45". Though a bit repetitive, I love the very stereo nature of the breakbeats used (there's actually some good fill effects and variation here and there, but it's subtle) - melody soon enters on a crystal-clear lead synth that jumps around doing some arpeggio craziness between more lyrical portions, as is often the case with c64 tracks in general. There's some great soloing around the third minute that goes way into those upper octaves and is quite fun and unashamedly unrestrained. Though the bass and drums don't alter that much, the piece never seems too repetitive, perhaps because of the structure which essentially introduces the main melody a couple times, then takes off in another direction with the extended soloing and what not. Good, fun stuff, with that little something extra due to the energetic, high-frequency synth monologue that is the final couple minutes or so. Great first ReMix from Gustav - hope to see more.
