I actually started off working on a remix of Baby of Can Guru by Chris Hülsbeck, but after trying to find a suitable style for it, I gave that up and on March 2nd of 2007 I started working on a first draft of this track. After testing things back and forth and recruiting an old friend (Magnus Högdahl) to help me add some guitars, getting hints and help with Logic Pro from another dear friend, Firefox, on September 8th 2007 I sent a final version off to Thomas Detert for mastering.

My first and only track made with Logic Pro so far. 😊

Released to RKO now that the sales of Syntax Era is discontinued.

At first I was like this does not work, who would have such a crazy idea but slowly it grew on me and by the end I was thinking this is a very nicely done, well-crafted piece. Well, I suppose I haven't yet heard a remix of this tune set in the style of 'One Day At A Time' by Lena Martell. I hope I never do ???? …Martin Galway

I love it, but I think comic bakery has had its run of remixes now, cant listen to the SID anymore!

Ph0B1uS shouts:

Nicely done, a rather different take on a tune that otherwise has been remixed to the death nearly. I really like this tune and its' originality. I was rather worried when I found out what sid it was based on but I was proven wrong, good work Ziphoid!

drcode shouts:

I love the sound scenery and sounds in general in this remix. The original also includes some great c64 sound specifics, which you can find from the remix too. Excellent work!

Ushiri shouts:

Takeee... This broken wiiiings....

JLD shouts:

Superb!

Eivind Sommersten shouts:

Love the original take and the production is great!

monty shouts:

I would really like to hear about the thought process behind putting CB into a BW environment because I don't think it's a natural fit... However, it works because of the outstanding production.

Marcus shouts:

I thought there are all Comic Bakery remixes out there yet. But this new approach is really outstanding. I don't know the 2008 Version but this one is really a red smiley.

Psychonaut shouts:

Wonderful 1980s-style production.

Ryrynz shouts:

Perfect remix.

DMC shouts:

So you did this track in 2008 and uploaded it to RKO 2020, right? This is fresh as morning dew and could've been from 2020 right away. F***ing awesome production in every aspect. K*U*D*O*S!!!

bastard shouts:

God damn!

Tomsk shouts:

Always loved this, from hearing Ziph give me a early preview in a pub in London! The merging of both tunes gets better as the remix progresses. Wonderful stuff even now!

Ahriakin shouts:

Stunning then and now.

omoroca shouts:

Sounds a little different than the Syntax Era version. Great stuff, dude!

There is nothing bad about ziphoids work here, everything gels together superbly, however comic bakery as a tune for me has lost most of its appeal as its been done to death. Im hoping for no more comic bakery remixes as the tune never seems to change.

Ziphoid published this remix in 2008 on the 'Syntax Era' album - I liked it back then, and I still like it now, 12 years later! The intro is a spot-on recreation of Broken Wings - after which the appearance of the Comic Bakery melody line feels tacked on. But this remix gets better as it goes on and it gives you that unmistakable slow tempo 80s ballad feel throughout. Especially noteworthy in this tune is the delicate guitar work of Magnus Högdahl, which lends a lot of authenticity to it.
