Commodore Remix

i was just listening to the gareth emery podcast #45 when few tracks caught my attention, i took a snippet of the podcast...

it's heartwarming that the sid lives through the house/tech/trance club music of today too!

this came inspiring just when i'm preparing my c64 remix album for c64audio.com...

btw. the podcast can be downloaded at http://www.galexmusic.com/podcast/site/new/index.php

p.s. it all started in timba-land?

I first remember hearing commercial / club SID track on an underground compilation 10 years ago. It was a track by Christian Morgenstern, but I forgot the name. I just remember it was one of 'Sexy World' tracks, but not which one. The rest were minimal (techno).

No, it didn't.

yeah, but isn't it nice that you can hear sid in the club today within modern technology music without ppl going "what the hell is that wobbly noise?"
if you're _not_ a 'clubber' then it'd be noise to you anyway...

Yes, I guess this "wobbly" noises come and go in commercial club music as it develops over years.

But talking of late Christian (R.I.P), I'm impressed solely by the fact someone put a SID on a vinyl and got away with it. This is one of those moments I wish I had a record player so I could enjoy the crackling vinyl SID sounds... More and more with years as vinyl slowly gets worn off.

Listen to the latest 'Clumsy' by Fergie. Some kind of 8-Bitish Bleep Bleep in there.

ps: I'm too old to read these small texts.

Well, there are tons of tracks today with something SID-ish in 'em. There are even sample CDs with 8 bit sounds out there. But I consider this nothing more than a passing trend. Rare are ppl like Christian that can (could) make a REAL SID and press it on a vinyl.

A DaFunk CD for C64audio? Wohoo!
