I started this thread to respond to some criticism, although I normally refrain from doing so, as many people think the remix is too short. The main reason for it being only one minute and 22 seconds is that making something sound like it's played live, when it's not, is really, really hard! I'm not trying to score extra points here, just stating the facts.
I tried making the remix longer, but every twist I added sounded forced and unnatural from a playing point of view. Thus, I stuck to what worked and sounded authentic enough. Also I didn't want to stray from the original source too much on this one, and the SID is kind of short.
So yes the remix is short. Perhaps too short, but the surf-style in itself is also to the point and short, so I justified the shortness with that.
So, basically, to keep the quality of sound up, I made it shorter. Plus, most of my remixes are short. I don't like to "stay my welcome", and would rather leave people wanting more than to milk a concept.
I just wanted to explain that, and it's not like I'm complaining about the reception. In fact, so far the average-vote is much higher than expected!
