Story
How this song was made:
Reason was the base of everything. Trace did all the sequencing in reason and the drum programming. Then, I (Mahoney) used Cubase for the vocals, guitars and effects. I couldn't find an easy way to do recording in Reason (probably because there is none!), so we had to do a Cubase/Reason combination.
Who is she?
Well, there are three of them, actually. Hanna is doing the first part of singing (she's an alto), and then Sofia is doing the

Well, there are three of them, actually. Hanna is doing the first part of singing (she's an alto), and then Sofia is doing the
refrain(she's a soprano). Karin (whom you might have heard in my Armageddon man-remix) is doing the improvisation in the middle. We are right now recording an a cappella CD called
Vokalmusik pƄ svenska, where we will be doing swedish jazz classics by Jan Johansson, a cappella. And I just played TaskIII for them and told them to start singing. 15 minutes later, all the vocals were recorded! Fast and efficient!
Have a noise night!

Atmospheric, but lacking a little soul.
Great
Strange! Experimental! Mahoney! Well done!
Strange sound for vocal but not bad
Task III is one of my absolute favorites of the C64 tunes. But this version is very far from the original. Ok, it has spirit and creativity and some samples from the original, but it sure ain't Task III...
Excellent remix!
The more you listen to this remix, the better it gets. Quirky and strange, weird and somewhat chaotic - just like the original. Lovely voices.
Great collab with two criminally underrated remixers. I also love the female vocals as well (one of the girls from Visa Roster?)
