Story
This is a remix of one of my all-time favorite SID tunes. Even though I have a lot of favorites, this one has always stood out because it's so different from most other SIDs, and I've kept coming back to it because it's quite relaxing to listen to, so I figured - what the heck, why not make a remix of it?
Unless I'm completely mistaken, the title is Gaelic - pronounced roughly as Care Ashlyn
, and translates into something like Dream Come True
.
Cheers!

I think you did a good job with the remix. The rythm of the SID is difficult to imitate (I have tried 😅), but I think you managed it quite well. The
bridgeat 2:13 is also lovely and true to the original, you've succeeded in recreating a song which is technically difficult and somewhat unorthodox both as a SID and as a piece of music.
I wish there was more to the arrangement though - after a very short intro the tune is more or less similar in mood and dynamics throughout. It's not a big problem but I feel there is unused potential here! It also ends a little abrubtly.
I have to say I really miss the rolling bass of the original - to me it's an important part of it.
Overall I absolutely appreciate the effort - it's obvious that musically you know what you are doing. Also, you have great taste in SIDs! 😉
