Story

Rest in peace old friend 💔

 

Kjell's many tracks are chaotic, esoteric - and brilliant. They are not the easiest to try to recreate, but hopefully I've managed to preserve at least some of the original feel in this remix. I'm pretty sure Kjell would hate it 😊 He never liked us messing with his music, something he would be quite vocal about - but always with a twinkle in his eye and tongue firmly in cheek.

 

The electric guitar from Atom Guitar is briefly featured in an intermezzo. That creation just blew me away the first time he showed it to us, it was incredible the sounds he was able to conjure up from the SID chip!

How did I missed this tune! This f*kin rocks!! Love your style Eivind!
As for a guitarist, it tastes a little like a good cake (as cakes taste good) with tiny bits of lefotver plastic foil here and there :) But still, massive props for the idea of this great Kjell tune. Good work. I'm a fan, too.

Overall rating

Thoroughly enjoyable, especially with the flute giving way to the guitar. And definitely we need people to appreciate the late Kjell's music a lot more - hugely under-rated in my view. So something to do him justice (as this does, and rocks pretty hard) is welcome.

The only thing I'd probably change a little is the middle section - it maybe needs a litlte more definition, but does also break up the tune nicely too. Rock on.
