Don't mind this. Quite trippy. Long, but reminds me of some Pink Floyd in some places.
Similar to Delta (In-Game) on BIT3, but no less brilliant! Fantastic version of my ultimate C64 SID!!
Great stuff! I wish today (2007) more remixes like this would be submitted. Epic! Mystic! Added to my collection.
Amazing delta

Obviously an arrangement rather than a remix, but when we're talking about Delta's in-game epic then this is definitely a good thing! I was blown away when I heard Hubbard's masterpiece almost 20 (!!) years ago and no SID is listened to more.

Chris' arrangement re-produces the original with impressive accuracy and is more than good enough to warrant repeated listening. My main complaint? A lack of power and impact during the opening minutes, particularly the baseline. Addressing this would make it perfect for me.

Love the string section at the end though - great arrangement overall!
