sorry.
i do not understand.
maybe i missunderstood something

was talking about parallax high score being on volume 1 or 2 of remix64 series of CD's.

i wanted it on either of those CD's but non of the musicians would take it on.

ahaaaaaaaa,got it

i just wonder why,because i think it is one of galways masterpieces and i like the riding way of the song. it is an very happy song and makes one feel good ( shaking to the with 3/4 measure

)
i see: it is as always just a matter of taste

I'm with you actually. It's my personal fave of galways, has a tremendous melody which still sticks with me after all these years. But alas, it seems we must be in a minority.

Maybe not...I really love it, too!

My personal fave Galway tune ever

Love the melody, love the wibbles. Covered this recently myself, after waiting years until I could get a big acoustic guitar strumming the opening sections

Love it...

Downloading your arrangement right now, stay tuned

The opening really confused me! It was like, sounds like the right tune, except the chords are upside down

Then the main section started and I was on more familiar ground.

Nice arrangement, I like how we thought alike with the acoustic guitars

I like this mix, if I had any criticism whatsoever its the string lead instruments, they just didnt sound quite right to me for some reason. It took me forever to decide on which instruments to use for that same sequence myself, and to this day I was never 100% happy. In hindsight I would have used the actual 64 lead, afterall Galway himself said that he would never arrange his own work with new instruments, his tunes were written for the C64.

But then, thats what we're all here for eh?

hehe, i see : there is a small audience for the parallax-highscore tune

i will concentrate on that song in the next weeks .

@feekzoid: thanks for your comment. i see we have some same thoughts and problems

in the mainpart of the song the leadinstruments nearly made me sick : listening to the great template from martin and startet experimenting with synth,piano,guitar etc. , but nothing really fitted and i am totally agree with you , i am not that happy with this solution but wasn't able to make it better at that moment. when writing the song i listened dozent time through your version and asked my self i should use the piano too, but then decided to use a string/synth combination - so it seems to be the wrong decision

did i understand right: you allready started working on a parallax song ? i though of setting up some accoustic guitar rides for this song too. maybe we better work together,hehe

regards

daniel

"The opening really confused me! "- hehehe, nice to have the audience shocked

***sorry for my bad english***

Nope, sorry

I have no plans to cover Parallax.

Just downloaded it - the remix is a decent, fast, energetic ride, and the guitars work nicely. The one thing I really done like is the chosen drum sounds. Putting any echo on a bass drum kills is, and I'm not keen on the other percussive sounds either, but other than that, it's a decent remix.
