Story

This is probably one of my all time favorite SIDs. Countless hours have been spent with this song on loop, for close to 35 years now. However I promise not to remix it more than every five years or so😉

dragonkiss shouts:
Just for the title alone! (Although the tune is awesome too!!)
Marcus shouts:
Awesome mixing! I love the basedrum and the saxophon in the background!
popnapp shouts:
The kickdrum is awsome. Very funky groovy powerful dance tune.
Makke shouts:
What popnapp said - that kickdrum is something else! This also mixes styles in a very interesting way. Top stuff as always from Eivind!

Overall rating

There's just something about this remix that really appeals to me. Maybe it's those SID toms (in 20CC's signature style), maybe it's that strong hitting, subwoofer shattering bass line that kicks in at 0:56, maybe it's those occasional sax licks, maybe it's the staccato line at 1:49 that seems straight out of Vangelis' Dervish D - it's all one great package!
