Story

Compleeto is an incredibly catchy SID tune, full of energy and impossible to ignore, so it had been on my to-remix list for quite some time. The Encore project provided the perfect opportunity to bring it to life. I was also thrilled when Romeo Knight agreed to support me on this endeavor, adding his amazing guitar skills and delivering a killer solo. Finally, Danko sprinkled his mix 'n' master mojo on the track.

Feedback from ATOO:

Wow! What a remix! 😃

Such a sizzling mix! It manages to sound both modern and yet brings back the best of the eighties! I love the mix of big, quantized, almost LinnDrum-like beats, fat, pumping bass with light, bubbly arpeggios and ethereal pads in the background, and then the expressive lead guitar on top! The energy reminds me of ZZ Top, and the song would fit like a glove in an episode of Miami Vice! The formant-like wawa on the synth emulating the synced ring mod breaks feels just like a talkbox! It doesn't get more eighties than that.😉

I especially love how you improved upon the bass and guitar riffs to make them both fatter and more groovy - and then the solo!!! Wow! When I made the original, I tried to make the lead melody sound like guitar riffs, but I don't play guitar myself, so it was wonderful to hear someone showing us how it should be done!

A BIG thank you from ATOO, y'all made my day. 😃

Absolutely fucking outstanding! I hope somewhere ATOO gets to hear this remix of an all time classic sid
Excellent
Oh man. What a thumping remix. Full of great sounds, yet very faithful. Quality is just what you expect from Markus. Romeo on guitar is just icing on a very tasty cake
Excellent take on a tune that defined what the SID is all about
One of my favourite SIDs of all time finally got some more love, and by LMan, no less!<3
I adore the aggressive style of this mix. Those hectic distorted mids scream at your ears. Absolutely brilliant work guys

A powerful and energetic track. I knew this was going to be something pretty special in the end, simply because it was coming from LMan 😊… And the added guitar from Romeo Knight just elevates this track so much higher. Great work guys.

Love the soundscapes and arrangement. All is there and the tight sound makes it awesome. And to have Romeo creaming the guitar like a god is just what we want! TB-SIDoSID with talkbox! This is it!

It took no less than 3 legendary members of the scene, but we finally have a remix of Compleeto that is worthy of a red smilie! Romeo's lead guitar improvs over the bed are just out of this world. But the entire arrangement is top notch, I especially like the instrumentation which is totally spot-on. Absolutely smashing!
