Story

Hi there.
After a long time,i try to made a new remix.
This is the new version of my old paperboy remix without any sidsamples.
Some people like it with sidsamples,someone without sidsamples.
Now there will be 2 Version's. ;o)
The tune was made with Mad Tracker.
I like the simple melody of this tune (it's easier to remix hehehe)
As i start the remix,i change sometimes the lead synth.But i choose this one, to come closly to the old remix.
Thanks to everyone for the nice words about the remix. ;o))
Contact me for any question or something else.
(ps: i hope you understand my broken english)

Shouts

Tas shouts:

Yay CZ is back... New style for him too. Everything rings quality although I feel the lead is a little weak, shame that. Still nice stuff this.

Makke shouts:

Clear and pleasant mixing here, but my ears just don't agree with those drums. They're boring to death in my opinion. Part from that a good mix!

Waz shouts:

Really enjoyed the laid back feel of this one - plenty of classical touches and gentle ambient sways. The lead unfortunately needs changing though, it's a bit weak and needs to be a bit more emotive. Excellent feel all round otherwise, though.

Dan shouts:

Great to see CZ back but I got a little bored with the mix and the lead is ringing in my ears

infamous shouts:

Clear sound.. No more sid noises either.. Showing a fair bit of progression.. But pretty much a 1:1 copy of the original tune which I am finding harder and harder to live with, its all been done before. But this is still a very competent tune.

c64glen shouts:

The original speed was good, this version is tooo slow and mornful

eliot shouts:

One of my all time favourite SIDs... This remix had become red if Chris has choosen more realistic instruments and a softer drum pattern

LaLa shouts:

Unfortunately, slowing this tune down was a bad decision: somehow the very soul of this piece is lost at this speed. Nice drums, though!

nettuno shouts:

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

ifadeo shouts:

Sorry, it doesn't work for me...

anaconda shouts:

The lead is annoying and the xylophone or whatever it is, is too sloppy. Sounds a bit too much computer made. The last part pushes it up to a Good mark.

LMan shouts:

Some parts sound so much like an Amiga mod it's untrue - I reccomend updating the soundbank with samples of higher frequencies.

nec5 shouts:

This is an interesting and plodding approach. It's not boring, but it doesn't quite have the kick.

omoroca shouts:

I like the slow tempo. The tune sounds better this way than it did in the original SID. But the SID is too repetitive for a full-length remix, so this one gets boring after like 2 minutes. Good mixing, though!
