Arrgh! My tune "Placid Remedy" has been rejected by RKO. Reason: "Yie Ar Kung Fu subtune 19 is a straight cover of Magnetic Fields part IV, so technically this isn't a C64 remix." Which I don't understand, as there are other remixes of this tune available at RKO, e.g. by Aurasil.
However, if you wanna listen, click here:

Re: Placid Remedy
Aurasil's remix was uploaded 17+ years ago - in fact, back then it was most likely added to RKO "manually" from some other FTP-site. There were no such rules for RKO back then, that's why it's there. Kwed and RKO got smarter about copyright rules since then. I'm sure it'll be taken down as soon as Jarre's management complains about it.

Re: Placid Remedy
It should have been mentioned in the rejection email that this is about copyright issues rather than discouraging musicians to make covers of a cover. I mean, I knew Yie ar Kung Fu *before* I knew Magnetic Fields Part IV, so to me, Galway is the original.

Re: Placid Remedy
Nice tune! Not familiar with the original, but this has a nice feeling to it.
