It's too late.

Who's gonna tell you SIDs
Are so great.

We can't go on, thinkin'
8-bit's wrong.
Oh
Who's gonna play with you, tonight?


Who's gonna fix you up
When you stall?

Who's gonna spend their time
On Wizball?

Who's gonna pay attention,
To your screen?

And who's gonna play you more
In their dream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
8-bit's wrong.
Oh
Who's gonna play with you, tonight?

What do you think of this?

Remade some of the instrumentation, and robotified the vocals:

Has its flaws. Thoughts?

Pro:
- Very close reproduction of the arrangement, good selection of instruments.

Cons:
- Snare drum and finger snap sounds appear too "clean"
- Robofication immensely hurts the 80s feel since that's rather a late 90s / 2000s thing

Matter of taste:
- Mixing and mastering is excellent but quite different from the original

Very nice, need to do something different with the vocals.
