First I thought this is a Martin Galway - SID , then I was told NO it's a Ben Daglish - SID and guess what ? YEP,it is a Ben Daglish -SID conversion from a Sylvester Levay tune! Very well done by Ben Daglish 'cos the original tune is close to the SID conversion. My remix is more like:

PINTA,NINJA,SANTA MARIA from the VANGELIS soundtrack Conquest of paradise (track 12)

It was a struggle to get the guitar notes at the end of the track, but it was fun doing the remix and I hope you all like it!

Great Remix!!

westerling shouts:

Great, but after three minutes something happens with the lead and it sounds horrible.

ninjai shouts:

This is one of the best guitar remixes of any game I've heard..

lolicon shouts:

THIS IS AWESOME! Love it!

stallkerl shouts:

Very nice remix... Very vangelis-like, reminds me to some passages of the blade runner ost :)

humorguy shouts:

LMan. It is better than the original. Don't fret. Emanuelle anyone?!

omoroca shouts:

I like the cobra tune, but not this remix. Probably due the choir in the background. And the lead voice is not accurate towards the end. I prefer the Morricone version by Axel Melzener.

zine shouts:

Should be better with a bit originality, however good and evocative

Nebdar shouts:

Very awsome very climatic and melodic it has the magic and is very smooth and pleasant to listen

Dr-Duke shouts:

I still have that linen sheet from that picture today! Great one, Thomas!

This could be the main selling song on any Synthesizer greatest -CD of early 90'ies. Jan Hammer, well, he's there somewhere, and boy have you done a great piece of art here, Thomas! Being one of my very favourite SIDs, I'm just drooling here, listening, dreaming and having a very good time! Some spots reveal that it's a sampled guitar, but turning off the nitpicker in me those few seconds, I really love this remix! The drums are calming, soothing, just wonderful! 😃

Totally awesome! Thomas does Vangelis style again. This would fit seamlessly into the Blade Runner soundtrack. The instruments are replicated perfectly, you couldn't tell the tune from a real Vangelis track. The Cobra melody is incorporated properly to fit into that mood. I actually haven't heard Sylvester Levay's original, but there's no way it could be better than this!

Thus top smiley for all categories! 😃
