Place	Song Name/Info	Author	PTS
1.	Assatas Song	Michal Hoffmann (Dat Nigga Randall / Ghettomuzik) / Poland	473
	(8580 SID) 3:00 Real C64 recording OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	This is something I always wanted to try on SID, but never had the guts - a tune based on a fat & dirty, Pete Rock style, hip hop beat (which somehow evolves later into sort of a light drum'n'bass uptempo). Dig my version of ringmod 'singing' and, er, handclaps. :)

	Bombs Over Dresden	Alexander Rotzsch (Fanta/Oxyron/Plush) / Germany	473
	(8580 SID) 3:32 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	In memory of the bombardment on 13.2./14.2.1945 in my hometown. Listen carefully and catch some moods how people could have felt beeing part of a senseless war. Hear air raid, bombers, screaming people and finally... sadness.

2.	Pick It Up	Stellan Andersson (Dane/Booze Design) / Sweden	449
	(8580 SID) 4:18 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Something for the dancefloor. Inspired by every disco tune ever made and the busy signal on my cellphone. Composed in a hurry for the extended deadline. Thanks a lot for that, CreamD! :)

3.	I Have a Knot In My Superstring (Prg) (Txt)	Vincent Merken (_V_ / Viruz, 64ever, Padua, ROLE, WOW) / Belgium	448
	(8580 SID) 6:07 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Play it LOUD, if possible. Oddly, the tune is acceptable on MOS6581. Filters take on a whole new dimension, but the rest is pretty much ok. The goal was to create a tune which would pulsate from start to finish. Short intro, heavy beat, lots of melodies, lots of tension and variation. I hope you had fun listening to the 6 minutes which just burned away. ( 31 instruments, 99 patterns.. ) I didn't expect it to get this long, but as usual, the way the tune turned out was not in my hands. My apologies if this is too long for your tastes. I need to learn more self- control, I guess... Greetings. Shouts to everyone at Role Wow Padua 64ever ViruZ as well as to the usual musical suspects and a few new guys in the order my memory brings them up: GRG, Ed, Drax, Fanta, Dane, Scortia, Jeroen Tel, Reyn Ouwehand, Shogoon, Wizard, Wacek, Finnr, Agemixer, AMJ, Hein Holt, Gerard Hultink, Vincenzo, Jammer, Orcan, Djinn, Eclipse, GOTO80, Welle:Erdball, Noise, Mindflow, Sage, TBB, KB, Metal, Kristian Rostoen And of course to CreamD for e-organising this cool SID music competition. .2Exit -- La vie, c'est la guerre des dualités.

4.	Water Is Fun	Kamil Wolnikowski (Jammer/EXON/MSL/Samar) / Poland	446
	(8580 SID) 2:37 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	No commen provided...

5.	Valley of Dreams	Dennis LeDoux (Phase 2/ ) / Denmark	442
	(6581 SID) 2:11 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	I certainly hope that some of you like this tune, since it's one of my first sids. I have been doing music professionally for some years but have not really been doing sids. Have always loved the SID as I have played quite a few games when I was young.

6.	Solar Incantation	Rafal Kazimierski (Asterion/Tinnitus) / Poland	436
	(6581 SID) 4:30 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	I tried to mock up a sound of bodhran instead of the common drumset ...again. as you can see it is quite a risky move on 6581. ;) great idea from Alih to provide ogg versions of tunes. I think it should become standart for any internet based SID compo.

7.	Trainline Andromeda	Luca Carrafiello (Luca/Fire) Italy	430
	(8580 SID) 4:25 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	No comments from author, but this tune speaks for itself.

8.	Lemmie Eat The Rastertime	Marcin Kubica (Booker/Amorphis/Onslaught) / Poland	424
	(8580 SID) 3:38 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Hi. Booker here. Hm, the compo again...got some oldie here, but nothing interesting, really. Speed: 5 <-this is good (hahahah). Perchaps my very last tune from the good, old 90's. Nothing what might be found interesting :-)

9.	Interstellarian Love	Arman Behdad (Intensity/Onslaught/Cosine) Germany	423
	(8580 SID) 4:40 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	I was inspired by a dream when I wrote this tune. Have a look into http://spablauw.blogspot.com/ (November 2005 archive) to see what this dream is about. The dream is called "Labile Ferhan". It is about me and my ex-girlfriend living in the remote future and travelling into other dimensions and it is about a melody from another space that I have heared in that dream. In this dream my ex gf looked just glamourous, labile and weak together, like if she really needs someone who helps to find herself. But read about it yourself :D

10.	Transylvanian Whipping	Lasse Öörni (Cadaver/CoverBitOps) / Finland	418
	(6581 SID) 2:20 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	This is the extreme Japanese Castlevania pastiche as promised.

11.	error 23	Ronny Engmann (Dalezy/Triad) / Germany	415
	(6581 SID) 3:06 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Sounds a tad buggy in sidplay, adsr is acting weird on some parts

12.	In Deep Freeze	Timo Taipalus (Abaddon/Fairlight) / Finland	411
	(6581 SID) 4:08 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Originally made in 1999 (not released though). Just improved it a bit. I'm sure the filtered bass sucks in real 6581.

13.	Nightbird	Sascha Zeidler (Linus/Viruz+HokutoForce) / Germany	402
	(8580 SID) 3:54 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Again some jazzy prog-rock vibes with rather odd progressions, most probably another compo suicide :D

14.	PMS	Hein Holt (Hein/Focus) / Netherlands	389
	(6581/8580 SID) 4:10 Real C64 recording: OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Hi Roman, Good to have a compo again, its been a while. Keep it up, it's the best SID compo in this scene. Here's my entry... I created it originally for 6581, and I have made some compromises to make it audible for 8580 too. (So I guess it sounds ok on my 6581R3) It's 4:10 minutes long and inspired by Dutch cabaret, which is standup comedian with songs between the jokes

15.	Dazzy Levstovski	Siegfried Rudzynski (Crome/People of Liberty) / Germany	381
	(6581 SID) 3:00 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	No comments...

16.	I wanted to create something new but it sounds like sid	Daniel M. Gartke (Turtle / The Demented) / Germany	367
	(8580 SID) 2:20 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	My first tune using the newer SID model. Made with GT2. Just to compete an keep the SID alive. I encountered some emulation-bugs in SIDLAY2/w not in Memory Model 'Real C64 environment'. My C64 is stored in the cellar so I can't verify the sound on the real thing. So I'm looking forward to listen to the ogg.

17.	Future Impulse	Stephan Parth (Nata/Samar Productions) / Italy	355
	(8580 NEW SID) 3:30 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	The 8580 has bad sounding filters? I started this tune to show how good the 8580 can sound. I really don't know what the others do, but they usually use only weak filter-settings... But enough about filters: "Future Impulse" was composed in about two months and I can say it wasn't easy at all to keep the instruments very clear (and not oldskool-like) Ok, I hope that people like my tune and wait for further releases.

18.	Spank!	Jan Diabelez Arnt Harries (Rambones/Ancients/HVSC Crew) / Denmark	348
	(6581 SID) 2:29 Real C64 recording: OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Made in SDI 1.9 by GRG, on a real C64 ((I like this tune quite a lot!!! (CreaMD))

19.	Exploring New Worlds	(Freedom/Hokuto Force) Italy	339
	(6581 SID) 3:20 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	With this song, I've tried to create an atmosphere of immensity. I hope this tune will give some emotions to the listeners... that is my target. OK, I hope that's all. Thank you.

	Wall of Fire	Richard Bayliss (Richard/TND) United Kingdom	339
	(8580 SID) 3:42 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	This tune was composed on your improved version of DMC V5.0 music editor. I'm still using this composer like always :)

20.	Bossah Novah	Marcin Romanowski (Sidder/MultiStyle Labs) Poland	336
	(8580 SID) 2:10 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	I' sending some crap tune to so called "SID Compo".

21.	Hangman's Swing	Maciej Stankiewicz (Trompkins/Tinnitus) The Land of Po	309
	(8580 NEW SID) 2:17 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	No filters, no arpeggios, no nothin'. Just a groove of late thirties wrapped into sounds of early eighties. Enjoy responsibly. If unable, proceed to the nearest exit.

22.	dATA dISCO	Robert Dörfler (LordNikon/Covenant, Telenova, Unlimited) Germany	280
	(8580 SID) 2:38 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Its me again :D Hehe, well .. there aren`t enough funky-happy-grovy-datatunes yet.. bye, have phun :D

23.	Zion	Gerhard Flagge (G-Fellow/Civitas) Germany	273
	(6581 SID) 2:37 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Tune was made in a hurry, it is not so bad at all, i think. The idea was to make a tune that sounds like a oldstyle tune.

24	Run From a Ghost (prg)	Deborah (Decompracid/Onslaught) Netherlands	216
	(6581 SID) 0:50 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	Here is my entry. It is kind of chaotic and crappy but well it was fun to make. Credits: DCMP and Dane (his instruments)

25.	Poetry of a Lonely Mind	Peter Bergstrand / Sweden	131
	(8580 SID) 0:40 Real C64 recording : OGG1, OGG2, OGG3	hi. i'd like to take part in your competition with the first sid i made (i know it's just about 50 seconds long, but that should suffice). it's inspired by the music of modern composers such as tds and cmp, which i think is cool, because it's so different from 'normal' (read: 'standard to the point of non-existence') music. i can't compare to them, but at least i have something to say with the sounds i program. it's not intended for easy listening! people who 'eat' the music don't get my respect you know. the listener can't lie like in a pigsty, yawning and thinking "now this is pleasant, my fiancee would love it". they have to wake up and feel the vibe of revolution. my tune tries to explain what's happening in the brain of a person that is so lonely he/she can't stand it. when there suddenly seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel (spot the happy arpeggio at 0:23), but then everything breaks down, and the suffering is so overwhelming there is no way out but to commit suicide. i hope few people out there will get it... sorry for the long-long message. yours sincerely, peter

Place	Song Name/Info	Author	PTS
1.	Assatas Song	Michal Hoffmann (Dat Nigga Randall / Ghettomuzik) / Poland	473
	One of the better-sounding multi-speeds. I`m sure it's music from Poland. Nata ANOTHER great, funky tune. I'm being spoiled here. Robin "Lobo" Vincent boring pop crap, but the sounds are nice. The bass sound, ahh.. really P-funky. Jucke Brilliant. Great Melody lines, unexpected d'n'b twist. Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce Cool song! Tch/Brutal Cool sounds, good melody. G-Fellow funky shit with clean sounds and sharp drums! RaveGuru Good multispeed tune sounds. Technically on the same level as Nightbird but with the better composition. Turtle/Daniel Gartke I just LOVE this tune, could listen to it for hours and hours. The combination of the sounds are just perfect, I saviour it always when I listen to it. Amongst others It's just cool to hear how a pop-song develops into a drumnbass sound. Intensity In my opinion Randall's got the most polished sounds when it comes to high speed sid-music nowadays. You easily get a false impression there's more than three channels. Domey / Panic Kind of depressing during the first 18 seconds, but then turns the tide to be more ... well, funk-spherical, if you can say so (and I do ;) ) finchy Like the sfx on this one Exile/Anubis/Civitas Multispeed rocks. _V_ Multispeed tune that unfortunately never really sticks to me. The part with modulated lead voice is quite nice. Dane nice flow Gilligan Nice melodies and tempo changes. Scout/Silicon Ltd. Nice BastetFurry No doubt about who did this one. Nice sounds again and very recognizable ones aswell :D ... Nice main theme in it. The melody seems a little confusing to me now and then, DRAX/MoN Not too risky again, rather popular. The sounds are great, as always. Listening to it helps to learn use filters, esp. the mix of hihat/bass/base/snare is good. I must say that these Randall tunes start of strong, but they kinda collapse. I guess its a matter of taste, since I try to put the climax near the end. Hein Perfect tune for a diskmag! I'd love to read "Vandalism News" or "Attitude" while listening to this author's music. :] Cactus/Oxyron/Padua Pretty good and funky. Richard the money has arrived safely, here's your niner. trompkins The rhythm cuts heads off hard. Don't care for the main melodies that much but the special sound effect interludes rock. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni There are nice sounds. Drums seems sampled based,even if they are sid maked. ice00 (Stefano Tognon)

	Bombs Over Dresden	Alexander Rotzsch (Fanta/Oxyron/Plush) / Germany	473
	Has a nice introduction, but isn't my favourite style. Nata A music for the victims of Dresda. The Overkiller All the kind of sound I like in this tune.Final is fantastic. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Boombasstic. The title is perfect for this tune. Except for the snaredrum, good sounds overall. Also this tune lacks a climax. Hein Brilliant tune. Richard Cinemaware / Galway music. Nice :) Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Closing my eyes I can see some cool story-telling-styled demo Gilligan Cool! Scout/Silicon Ltd. Cool! Jazzcat/David Excellent, a very interesting composition Merman Galway? Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce Great buildup. Needed to get used to the bombs, but they fit. Cool song. _V_ Like the coming danger and simulation of the bombs falling Exile/Anubis/Civitas liked it. strong sound. Robin "Lobo" Vincent Nice BastetFurry ok, so let's make this clear, it just so happens that i used to like parsec's ambience very much and that's the main reason you get a 7, mister. i shall overlook the predictable progression just this one time. trompkins pretty phat resonating sounds :) RaveGuru Really moody and expressive tune. This one definatley tells a story, and I can imagine through the title what it's about. C64-SID-Drama at it's best! Gets an 8 for that. Intensity Sounds like Fanta. Maybe it's not a coincidence that it has "Dresden" in the title. The intro kicks ass. Not your best but ok. DRAX/MoN the bombs are falling. it becomes a firestorm and everyone is dying. twisted burned corpses of children and old ladies everywhere. where is the remote control? some nice sounds prevent this from become a 1. Jucke The really cool techno-lazer-ish instrument unfourtunately sounds bad when played hipitched. cyber Very, very atmospheric. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Well done, should have been longer! Definitely more of a soundtrack than a tune with a lead. Dane WOW! A brilliant tune... G-Fellow

2.	Pick It Up	Stellan Andersson (Dane/Booze Design) / Sweden	449
	I don't like that song, therefore only a low rating. Nata A bit boring.. Tch/Brutal A good pop tune. The theme is too simplistic. I like the deep bass sound alot. Production is outstanding. Hein Cool sounds. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni didn't i hear this one on the radio yesterday? properly executed and thoroughly uninteresting. trompkins from a dj perspective this is cheezy crap i would never ever play, but i cant help being somewhat impressed by the balancing and sounds. Jucke In my opinion, if shorter would be better. Anyway a kickassing one. Luca intelligent use of channel effects / filter RaveGuru Interesting sounds. The melody sounds like Dane (the echo thing). This tunes strongest part are the instruments. DRAX/MoN It's Dane, or at least a good imitation. It's the always same style that prevents a higher vote. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Love it, lots of layers to the sound Merman Modern stuff with lovely melodies, as usual. Makes me wonder if there’ll be any confessions on a sid-chip later on? ;D Domey / Panic My own tune. Dane Nice enough BastetFurry now we're talking. very strong. jeff-ish? Robin "Lobo" Vincent Quite Daneish this tune. Nice sounds overall, but a bit too weak to me when it comes to the expression. Intensity Really cool traditional oldschool C64 music. :o) Richard Remind me a bit of the song from Cycle Exile/Anubis/Civitas Smooth tune Scout/Silicon Ltd. sounds like PMS.. ? Gilligan Stellan-rocker Jazzcat/David Stylish uptempo. Instrument set is top, like it. _V_ There are some nice effect I like in the tune. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Very good melody with a small backround... G-Fellow

3.	I Have a Knot In My Superstring (Prg) (Txt)	Vincent Merken (_V_ / Viruz, 64ever, Padua, ROLE, WOW) / Belgium	448
	For me it's too boring. Nata A superb soundtrack Richard Alright! Scout/Silicon Ltd. and that sounds like a typical mitch&dane tune =) Starbuck/Ronny Krueger Awesome stuff!! 9+ Tch/Brutal Awesome Merman cool demo tune ( and the award for the best title) Gilligan Epic and tubular. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Great sound at 3:15. Dane like tune. Very good. Another best. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Hae!? BastetFurry I like this one. It is diversified and has a strong bass. This tune would fit perfeclty in a demo. I like the dreamy part at 2:24 min. and also the rest of this trance-like piece. Intensity Interesting tune, sounds (to my ears) like a mixture of elements from "last ninja" and "arkanoid", but then turns out to get more beat ... would be a great sid for a demo, don't you think? Maybe most do think that way about their SIDs ... but I don't ;) finchy love it. wonderfully atmospheric tune. Robin "Lobo" Vincent My favourite tune this time round. Well done Vincent. Dane Nice sound. Atmospheric. This might be VIP... DRAX/MoN some parts can be perceived as entertaining, but that's not enough to make me really happy. ps.: i didn't give it a 6, it's a vote counting machine cock up, really. trompkins That's it!! Great spacefilght!! Turtle/Daniel Gartke The intro is very cool, you must listen to it with a subwoofer!!! Wow hammer bass. I like the rest of the tune also... G-Fellow This is a really good tune! Surely one of my favourites to reach the top 5 of this year's Sid Compo! Cactus/Oxyron/Padua This kind of high energy music is not my cup of tea. The sounds are ok though. Hein Too bored start Almighty god/Domingo Álvarez Untie it, then. Spacey feel, loooong. _V_ yawn.. zzz.. a 2 because its quite technical. Juck

4.	Water Is Fun	Kamil Wolnikowski (Jammer/EXON/MSL/Samar) / Poland	446
	Sure not my favourite - sorry. Nata Again, extremely nice sounds. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni And so is this track. Funky! Scout/Silicon Ltd. Blub. Not as watery as the title suggested, though. _V_ Brilliant!! My kind of SID!! 8D Tch/Brutal bubbly... stuff... of sorts. the voices say they like it, it makes them feel at peace. trompkins DAMN! This one blasts the shit out of me! Technically brilliant, the bass is killing me softly, the lead is what I call an earworm and those Water Riffs can't be outgunned. IMHO The best SID in this compo! I am VERY curious about who wrote this tune. Thumbs up! I can listen to this a lot of hours. Intensity Definately nice sounds again. This style certainly sounds a bit familiar to me, especially the bass sound reminds me of a certain composer. DRAX/MoN Good piece of music, sounds watery :o) Richard Hyperdrums!! Luca I can hear that it's liquid ;) finchy I give this tune the benefit of the doubt. The sounds are brilliant. The composition isnt special. Also the melody doesnt make much sense. Hein I want to sit in that pool aswell Gilligan Interesting sound effects, but not that epic a tune. More like a funny notetune. Dane It's a crazy Namco/Velvet Lounge mix. Great. Good usage of ringmod. Turtle/Daniel Gartke kickin'. excellent tune. Drax? Robin "Lobo" Vincent Makes me really think that water is fun : ) All in all very good tune with cool sounds, this is some newstyle tune that i very like G-Fellow multispeed eh? Quite traditional and boring tune, but oh the sounds.. the sweet sounds.. I cant deny this. This is funky, it moves me. Jucke Nice Idea BastetFurry Not the style I like, but the instruments are good for it. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) The backgroud sound (water, etc) sounds really special, but perhaps the saw-lead sounds a little too normal. It's like it allmost fits, but not totally. cyber This could be winner of the compo, the tune is really professionally arranged, composed and performed. Thumbs up for the author! Cactus/Oxyron/Padua uplifting, catchy and sweet sounds! RaveGuru

5.	Valley of Dreams	Dennis LeDoux (Phase 2/ ) / Denmark	442
	For my ears it is too boring. Nata and the knights of lamerhoe gathered around the round table. they discussed how they would stop everyone from making other sid music than middle age themes. Jucke Awesome! Harmony, solid base and attention to detail makes this a masterpiece. Devia game tune, circa 1989. but not bad at all. MoN-ish at some points Robin "Lobo" Vincent Good theme, decent harmonies and the popular classic sid bass. Where's the climax? Hein happy-go-lucky (till-you-puke) kind of opening, the kind i personally despise with much passion, then some end credits rolling and finally everything goes KRAZY. not my cup of decaf i'm afraid. trompkins Hello Thomas. The only thing I don't like about the tune is the intro, which feels a bit plain. Dane hm..not exactely my type of dream Gilligan Hmmm... Scout/Silicon Ltd. I really like the melody, the intro of the tune is some different, my guess is that this tune is from Laxity... G-Fellow If this is not DRAX, I’ll eat my pants. Nevertheless, this is not the winning track in my ranking. Domey / Panic Jeroen Tel(ish?) sound set used nicely. The composition itself is too happy for me, but in its genre, it's good I guess. _V_ Laxity, I wonder... A bit short, but great melody. It grows on you! Talus Like the old tunes from years back story telling Exile/Anubis/Civitas Nice! BastetFurry Some Galway/Daglish/Hubbard mix. Lacks a little variety for its length. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Sound is good. Style varies a lot during the tune. Great. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Sounds a bit like the music by some musician from Vermes group, but that's a plus! :] Cactus/Oxyron/Padua Sounds really great. Inspired by Tim Follin again. Richard There has certainly been alot of talk about this tune that involves me. I can understand why people think it sounds like me - but I didn't do this one eventhough parts of it sounds almost 100% like me. DRAX/MoN This is also some kind of druidmusic, but it doesn't invoke the horned one as effectively. Actually the melody gives more of a ghey science fiction atmosphere. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Very dreamy, average sounds, nothing special in my eyes... Intensity Very nice tune for an ending-sequence, credits, etc. Like the harmony within it very much. finch

6.	Solar Incantation	Rafal Kazimierski (Asterion/Tinnitus) / Poland	436
	Nice, but not my favorite style. Nata Again a very good middle age tune from Asterion... G-Fellow good attempt at theming, follin-ish Robin "Lobo" Vincent Great medieval music! I like especially the part from 2:04 to 2:28 minutes! Finally something completeley different in this compo. Love it! Intensity I can actually hear some similarities in the lead-melody when compared to “Valley of Dreams” at some point. Domey / Panic I especially enjoyed this one - cool music, I don't know why, but listening to it reminds me of the great series of "Dizzy" games, which I loved to play when being a kid. Cactus/Oxyron/Padua I like this medieval style with some Enigmaesque influence Turtle/Daniel Gartke i want half of my money back you recycling cheat! the other half you can keep, it's quite a piece after all. trompkins In some way makes me remember the game Iron Lord. :) Almighty god/Domingo Álvarez Inconfondible style. A very good instruments. Title is appropriate. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Love the slow building story telling Exile/Anubis/Civitas Lovely troubadour song. Good sounds too. Hein middle age? sorry, i dont feel this. or maybe i have felt it a thousand times before and have gone immune? Jucke Nice composition but gets a bit boring Scout/Silicon Ltd. nice pipe tune thingy Gilligan Nice tune. Deeply inspired by Tim Follin's tunes. Richard Nicely detailed and harmonic Devia No doubt about who did this one. Nice Tim Follinish... DRAX/MoN Quite nice and melodic. Sparse on instrument dynamics but I like it. Dane Sounds nice BastetFurry Tribal and epic. Excellent. _V_ Ture druidmusic. Invoke the horned one from your C64 with this... Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Wow, GHOULS N GHOSTS REDUX! Jazzcat/David

7.	Trainline Andromeda	Luca Carrafiello (Luca/Fire) Italy	430
	egad, it's mario driving a choo-choo! trompkins Gameintro music? BastetFurry Good idea. The train doesn't sound that authentic. The melody is heavy, heavy influenced by someone I can't name now. Sometimes it sounds like OCEAN. Turtle/Daniel Gartke I didn't like the noisy beginning of this tune, but after a minute it turns into a very interesting song. Cactus/Oxyron/Padua I recognize Luca style even when picking a random tune for testing the (wrong configured and so sounding bugged) xmms plugin.Fantastic theme and 8580 sound.One best. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) interesting tune, well executed. Robin "Lobo" Vincent LOL! Does humor belong in music. ;) Tch/Brutal Neat sounds. An interesting composition. Kinda original. DRAX/MoN Nice happy tune fitting to the topic. HAPPY HIPPIE JIIPPPIEEEE LET'S ALL MAKE KIDS TOGETHER ehehehe Intensity Nice sounds, nice Short Circuit-style section, just runs out of steam at the end... Merman Not bad old-style music. Richard Orchestral Manouvres of the SID... Scout/Silicon Ltd. really fucked up intro :) RaveGuru The beginning makes me want to run with a sword in some palace gardens. Rest of the tune is cool too. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni The intro makes me really think of a tune that starts to moving, could be in a game from 1987. G-Fellow The start is quite interesting. Domey / Panic This tune starts with great sounds. A great experiment with sound effects. A pitty it becomes such a happy tune. The consistancy in the sounds is marvelous. Hein Totally amazing intro, with the train taking off! Then starts a slightly psychadelic 60's dowoop style tune with incredible sounds. This is like a spacemovie theme. Jucke Very nice with the train intro. The rest of the tune doesn't really stick with me. Cheerful and so. Dane Vote as suggested by the compo organizer. Luca W00 w00t! Enough said. _V_ Yeah! I don't love, but I have to give a high vote. Seems to be from a Italian composer?! Nata

8.	Lemmie Eat The Rastertime	Marcin Kubica (Booker/Amorphis/Onslaught) / Poland	424
	Not bad. Nata Another typical demoscene tune, without a melody or chordprogression. Hein Bon appetit!! Turtle/Daniel Gartke Burp. Good wall of sound here. _V_ Cool tune, rox! G-Fellow Don't make me choose a winner out of this (a Jarre-inspired masterpiece) and Superstring :) Merman Good ongoing tune. Tch/Brutal i refuse calling this good. if anything, it's a very bad kind of good. trompkins It seems like this one can loop forever without me ever getting tired of it... The loger it runs, the more I wanna turn up the volume ;-) Devia its 1992 and everyone is stomping away to bratwurst techno on mayday raves in germany. Jucke Me like! Scout/Silicon Ltd. Nice enough........... with two closed 'chicken eyes' BastetFurry Nice Trance-tune. Just the drums are a bit too weak. Intensity not bad, really, just a bit bland. for some reason it reminds me of old Transwave cd's Robin "Lobo" Vincent ok Gilligan Sure, eat my rastertime. And make a multispeed tune! Dane the first entry and the best best imho !! great flow, great sounds, kick ass bassline... awesome tune! I'd love to hear it in a fast paced techy demo, Radio Napalm style :) RaveGuru This builds the beginning slowly and then proceeds to cut some heads in a hard and tubular fashion. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni This tune must be by Booker... Later on it reminds alot of Jeroen Tel's Deel (the chords and the bass). DRAX/MoN This tune really makes the C64 show what it really can do to make people dance. Good C64 dance track! Richard Very nice sounds. I like it!! ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Would have been an all-time classic in the late 80's. Nevertheless, it has a good drive in it. Domey / Panic

9.	Interstellarian Love	Arman Behdad (Intensity/Onslaught/Cosine) Germany	423
	The best tune from the compo. Nata A very nice melodic tune, sounds a real winner. Please listen to this track in full. Richard Annoying and unoriginal. But at least it's music. Hein At the moment, this is the song I literally SCREAM while biking around bridges of Firenze. Luca Better one! BastetFurry did i just turn on the pop radio? hm. lets see if i can find another channel.. Jucke Fantastic! Listen for long time.Another best, with some great sounds. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Hello Arman. Nice tune ;) I like the simplicity of the main melody part. DRAX/MoN i don't know if it's that slight resemblance to a theme music from a certain 80's fantasy blockbuster - the 1st movie i have ever seen in a movie theatre - which makes this piece attractive, maybe it's something else. but despite its simplicity and a few REALLY uninspired fill-in loops i think i like it enough to award it a 6. or do i? trompkins Let me guess! This tune has been composed by Dane? :] In my opinion this is definitely the best tune submitted for the competition. Cactus/Oxyron/Padua like it.. but gets boring Gilligan Nice and of course also tubular. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Nice tune, sounds quite average, but has its special moments. finchy Okay tune. Scout/Silicon Ltd. Simple one. Quite nice but overall not that impressive. Turtle/Daniel Gartke The high pitched notes dragged this one back from getting a 9... Merman Very nice. Not your average tempo and a catchy lead with some interesting instrument sounds on the lead. Dane very well-sounding, coherent tune Robin "Lobo" Vincent Wow, brilliant tune. With nearly pervect music structure, very good melody and harmonic. I wished this tune were mine.... G-Fellow Yearning for the stars. I yearn for them, too. _V_

10.	Transylvanian Whipping	Lasse Öörni (Cadaver/CoverBitOps) / Finland	418
	Haaa, a pretty fine song. It's really entertaining. Nata "Remixing" an oft-used Castlevania theme, I'm amazed that it made it in since it's quite close to being a cover. But here it is, and as such we have a SIDgasm. _V_ Another music, which reminds of an old C64 game. :] Perhaps the author was not inspired by "Gordian Tomb" soundtrack, but for me his tune generates the same vibes as that one. Cactus/Oxyron/Padua Another storytelling tune, slow building Nice Exile/Anubis/Civitas Castlevania is always nice. A bit thin, of course due to the double lead voices. Dane Castlevania. Style. Music. Rocks. Period. BastetFurry Could be Lasse. Always solid. Always good. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Fits good the tune name. G-Fellow Goattracker like drums.But it varies a lot and there are very nice instruments. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Good classical theme. Very recognizable style. I cannot help seeing men in tights singing about conquering the world of passion. Hein Hope the author payed all the rights to Konami. I just missed a charge from Konami two years ago :D Luca more like castlevanian ripping. a solid powerbach, but, alas, no kuji-kiri-powered finger-bending solos make appearance here - thus: a 7. trompkins nice castlevania remix Gilligan Nice melody, but basic instruments. Definitely inspired by Konami's Castlevania soundtrack / the tune Bloody Tears from same. Talus Nice, but lacking some ground.. or something.. Devia Now if that ain't Cadaver ... :) Nice one. Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce oh no. more middle age style too melodic stuff again. and this time with a disturbing skipping beat. there must be tens of thousands of tunes like this. Jucke Progressive rock meets SID. Not my thing Scout/Silicon Ltd. Real coll. You rock the C64 :o) Richard Sid-Power-Metal :) iAN CooG Those Japanese guys are weird, always copying Yngwie chord progressions. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni very decent power metal-ish tune. Lasse, is that you? Robin "Lobo" Vincent y0! Metal on C64! It is quick and expressive! Love the melody. Definatly worth a 7 out of 9! Intensity

11.	error 23	Ronny Engmann (Dalezy/Triad) / Germany	415
	Cool freaky tune. The bumpy tempo is quite disturbing, but I guess its got to do with that nasty error 23. Hein Cool intro but the rest is to crazy for my ears, but fits also the tune name G-Fellow Extremely tubular. Nice combination of melody and officially approved datatune sounds. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Great chaotic tune. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Hard stuff... Niceley realized, good sounds. Intensity i couldn't refrain from comparing this track to mindflow's superb 'over the edge' & 'horsing around'; the conclusion is that error 23 is, in fact, much less superb. so there. trompkins I like the atmosphere Gilligan IMO it sounds to sick. Don't like it so much - sorry. Nata Interesting - mostly soundwise. The breaks are good. Melody wise it doesn't get to me... I know I am oldfashioned. But all in all very interesting. DRAX/MoN Nice arpeggio into the song.Good ending of tune. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Nice intro, not my kind of instrumentation and sounds. However, the distorted ringmods in the breaks are lovely. I'm missing some kind of lead to hum along to, this just feels like filler. Dane One of the best tunes this year imho. Great sounds. /me nods head. Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce Pretty cool sounds Devia Really funky stuff, pretty good. Richard Tension. The rhythm is good, good use of effects. _V_ this sounds like it was made by a crazy guy in gothenburg i know. anyway, this has edge! this tune is reaching for something. this is the way! with the right demo this could liftoff into space. Jucke Very cool instruments! Tch/Brutal Very nice mixed of different sounds... Almighty god/Domingo Álvarez very strong tune and theme. dane-ish (ish?) Robin "Lobo" Vincent Weird yet intriguing Scout/Silicon Ltd. Would fit with a nice cossy endboss BastetFurry

12.	In Deep Freeze	Timo Taipalus (Abaddon/Fairlight) / Finland	411
	Sounds very Draxish, but I have absolutely enough from this style. Nata Definitely a Vibrants follower. A shuffle with some 'improvised' leads on top of it. I've done quite a lot of these myself, Dane Excellent!! One of those songs you can listen to for hours! Tch/Brutal Fluffy, light and easy stuff. Not bad IMHO. But I miss the "Je Ne Sais Quoi" in this tune. Intensity Groovy. Hmm, that is basically all I'm able to say about it. _V_ Jamming with a good mood. Would have needed a bit more of variation and some finetuning in the instruments. Domey / Panic Laxity/Bjerregaard inspired tune. One out of a hundred. It lacks that special edge that makes the Danish tunes stand out. Hein Love the leads Jazzcat/David Nice enough BastetFurry Nice tune from Drax but not his best tune ever. G-Fellow nice Gilligan oh, the good old vibranty danish swing sound.. but the solos make me suspect its not danish. The danes would be more stylish! despite this being traditional and boring, i give this a 5 because its funky. Jucke Old school killer Exile/Anubis/Civitas Oldschool SIDism! Yay! Scout/Silicon Ltd. Pretty solid tune. More detail on the lead might do wonders. Devia Sounds almost like Gerard Hulktink... But the lead doesn't sound quite Gerardish... Reminds me a bit of the good old Vibrants days. DRAX/MoN Sounds like games featuring music by Maniacs of Noise. Excellent song. ;o) Richard Though I still think it's influenced by Upfronts Freezer I do like this oldskoolish one. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Tubular. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Very good sid managing in some parts. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) well done. groovy. Robin "Lobo" Vincent wow, this song is simply one huge-ass solo, seriously. i suppose i should give it some props for that... it's just that it somehow doesn't go down that smooth for me. trompkins

13.	Nightbird	Sascha Zeidler (Linus/Viruz+HokutoForce) / Germany	402
	Not again! Another multi-speed song :_( Nata ah yes!! this is it! fucking excellent! the sounds are distorted and totally whack, the bass and lead is great, and the feel and arrangement takes one on a ride. Now I find this one interesting both as a scener and a dj/music collector! I want to know who made this. Jucke Another daring tune by mr. Linus. Its nice to hear him explore new musical boundaries. Hein asterion insisted on making this song the top one and then i said that it's too freakin' wild for me and then he said he'd do some very nasty things to my pet ant if i didn't comply and then i said oh, alright because i didn't want anything nasty to happen to my pet ant and then i think i woke up. trompkins confusing Tateno Fabulous instruments,great song! 8D Tch/Brutal Fresh piece with a rough attitude! Domey / Panic Good tune with cool sounds. G-Fellow I love $15. Smutsigks Elektroniks, anyone? _V_ Instruments are good and it's got structure, but the lead isn't catchy. Dane More Hae?!? BastetFurry Nice sounds again. DRAX/MoN Not bad. Scout/Silicon Ltd. Not the style I like.But there are some good sounds. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) raw and funky. it rocks. Robin "Lobo" Vincent Some interesting experimental phrases in this one Merman Technically absolute brilliant but lacks catchyness for a higher vote. Turtle/Daniel Gartke the bird has some stomach issues.. Gilligan The sounds rip hard. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni This one is HARDCORE! I love those great styled arpeggios and the fucking weird Lead which turns really mad at 0:51 min. ! The more I listened to this tune the more I liked it. Something of quality and different at the same time. Intensity Way out of tune! Richard

14.	PMS	Hein Holt (Hein/Focus) / Netherlands	389
	Good instruments, good melody - but.. Nata Amazing tune ... very Hein'ish :) Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce bit messy Robin "Lobo" Vincent doesn't top sherona red, but it's still very convincing. maybe it should be an 8, but i'm not going to argue with my left hemisphere again. trompkins Good try for the Tim Follin vibe... Merman Good tune, with a straight line, not my personal tast but good composed... G-Fellow Great tune,very original too! Tch/Brutal HEctic & INsane. Professionally unstable, still everything fits perfectly crazy together. Somehow I also find this quite orchestral, to be honest. Domey / Panic I like Heins drums and baselines. But the melodies I could'nt bare at breakfast time. Turtle/Daniel Gartke If this is not Hein - I am not DRAX. I like the weird harmonies in this one and the dynamic bass line. DRAX/MoN My own thingy. Unfortunately I compromised on the basssound (making it too deep compared to the snaredrum) and it is moaning too much. Hein Nice atmosphere that builds slowly. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Not my kind of music. Kinda weak and average. Intensity Not my taste BastetFurry Odd harmonies but rather well crafted. Dane PMS sucks, but not this song. The start reminds me of Red Storm, I expected something abstract then it goes over to something groovy and more conventional, then it all gets raped/distorted. Good touch. _V_ So PMS sounds like this? Scout/Silicon Ltd. Sounds good :o) Richard sounds interesting Gilligan Very-very good at around 2.48 to the first end of sound ice00 (Stefano Tognon) wtf???!! this sounds like false tones chords to me. Aaahhh, wunderbar. I fucking love the vibe in this one. So sick, so retarded, so genious!! This sounds like a Drax or Hein on some totally whacked out psychadelic drug. The weird mood in this one does it to me. Amazing. Jucke

15.	Dazzy Levstovski	Siegfried Rudzynski (Crome/People of Liberty) / Germany	381
	Hmm, I have enough from such songs oldskool songs. Nata A good attempt to create something cool, a bit too happy for me. Also the sounds are too crisp. Hein Boring! Scout/Silicon Ltd. Cool Melody with good harmony with the rest of the tune. G-Fellow Emotional. Nice drive overall, lotsa transitions, good. _V_ Love this one! Tateno My wife's completely infatuated by this one.. I tend to agree ;-) ..great melody, but could do with some more variation in the theme during the first half. Devia Nice and straight foreward Exile/Anubis/Civitas nice groove! diddle-diddle-diddle-di-damm... Gilligan Nice melodies, bit harsh instruments. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Nice use of instruments.Some parts are very good. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Nice! BastetFurry Not bad. Good tune. Richard Quite simple and average in my ears. I like the happiness in the tune though. Intensity Really like the speedy part! Tch/Brutal Reminds me of an old Blues Muz tune. The sound feels a bit outdated, diskmag around 1994. Dane rich and atmospheric sounding tune. bit old skool Robin "Lobo" Vincent Starts good but looses something in between. Turtle/Daniel Gartke the name sounds sort of familiar. hehe. ok, now im watching a demo from 1990 by Light or Flash inc from sweden. Have I heard this before? Yes, too many times. Jucke this leaves a bit of an introzak afertaste; the kind that's not very memorable. trompkins Well, atleast the last 10 seconds are nice. Domey / Panic

16.	I wanted to create something new but it sounds like sid	Daniel M. Gartke (Turtle / The Demented) / Germany	367
	Really don't know what I should say - really not spectacular. Nata A bit on the save side. No risks taken here. Hein Better one BastetFurry I know this makes a very clever statement but the music isn't that interesting for me :) Cadaver/Lasse Öörni I stuck with my intended tune for this compo. Luckily this one came in my mind and so I had to do it in an hurry!! Turtle/Daniel Gartke It's okay Scout/Silicon Ltd. Maybe it seems too equal from the beginnig to the ending ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Mmhmm, SIDdism cannot be denied. _V_ Nice! Tch/Brutal Nice. Intensity Nothing wrong with it sounding like sid. One of the few leads that stayed in my head. Tune could have used some more dynamics though - variations of sound and structure etc. Dane Quite good and pretty funky C64 music. Richard Something in the lead reminded me of Dane but this is not Dane. DRAX/MoN sounds like it indeed Robin "Lobo" Vincent The author is right is nothing new, but good. G-Fellow typical boring introtune, but i somewhat like the bass and melody together. brings some kind of old synthpop vibe in me. Jucke well yes.. sounds like sid Gilligan yes it does :) RaveGuru your self-critique has been noted, comrade - therefore, you won't be expelled from the party; just don't let us catch you doing this sort of vile stuff ever again. trompkins

17.	Future Impulse	Stephan Parth (Nata/Samar Productions) / Italy	355
	Absolutely the style I love. Nata A cool pumping C64 techno soundtrack. It sounds sort of familiar to some tunes in Deus Ex Machina in some kind of way. Richard A typical demoscene tune. The sounds are good. Hein Amazing sounds, but the composition is quite boring, unfortunately. Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce an eurovision reject, i presume. trompkins boring Deus Ex / Jeff rip-off RaveGuru dj bobo sid Gilligan Dynamic tune. One of the good C64-Trance-SIDs around. Nice Jeff-like-Bassline, it just gets a bit boring after some time. Intensity Imitations earn no respect. Domey / Panic Jeff. Robin "Lobo" Vincent mhhh.... sounds like jeff´s style g Starbuck/Ronny Krueger Nice hit-hat. But the music doesn't really get to me. The sounds are a bit Jeffish. DRAX/MoN Nice upbeat tune. Scout/Silicon Ltd. oh come on, all the chords and melodies are stolen from old commercial italo disco and pop records. where is the originality? Jucke Ravin' rhythmical study. Let's leave it at that. _V_ Sound from 0:50 is great. Good tune for sure. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Technostyle like the one in Deus from Jeff Turtle/Daniel Gartke This tune is some kind of drum&bass meets dancefloor. G-Fellow Tubular. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Whats that!?? BastetFurry Yes, let's all be Jeff. Good instruments of course, but nothing remarkable about the rest. Dane

18.	Spank!	Jan Diabelez Arnt Harries (Rambones/Ancients/HVSC Crew) / Denmark	348
	Hmm, don't like it so much. Nata a type of spanking that feels good Gilligan Good tune without a real climax. Scout/Silicon Ltd. Groovy and a bit sad at the same time. This tune needs more BASE! Love the "sort of" off beat charater and would really have liked to hear a longer version of it. Devia I like the melody. Technically not the most sophisticated. But it fits. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Jimmy Bo Horne's "spank" is a commercial classic disco record from around 25 years ago. can i sing along to this? -"spank, oooo wooo ooo whooo, SPANK!" Jucke Nice funky C64 music. Richard Nice tempo in the intro, but it doesn't manage to take off. Dane Nice things here and now in the lead. DRAX/MoN Not much to say about, the tune is ok, not my personal taste... G-Fellow Not my taste BastetFurry Not to complex, but great!! ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Really cool bassline, but the lead sounds a bit wrong in many places imo. cyber rowlands? and cannon? on a very average day? yeah, probably. trompkins Spankin'. I like it, it's very catchy to the ears. _V_ starts out real groovy, but doesn't really meet expectations Robin "Lobo" Vincent The mixed waveform is this composers favorite I guess. Nice built up Hein This is sufficiently tubular. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni This one is from rambones, right? It's just a typical rambones-SID. I love the bassline and the chords, but unfortunatley the lead is too simple in my ears, which is just typical for his music. Hey Jan, you have really potential, but do us the favour and work a little more on the lead! :D Intensity Too much out of sync. Domey / Panic

19.	Exploring New Worlds	Freedom/Hokuto Force	339
	aaah, i think my nose bleeds from the overwhelming sadness evoken by hearing perfectly good soundwaves being wasted in such manner. nurse, i need a stomach pump. it's sound poisoning! trompkins Again, a bit harsh sounds combined with nice melody. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Beautifull from the beginning with the style I like. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Early 90's vibe. Predictable and nothing I haven't heard before. Dane Exolore the outer rim Exile/Anubis/Civitas Good tune. G-Fellow If this is like exploring new worlds, I rather stay in bed. Scout/Silicon Ltd. I'm waiting for the "break-through" in the tune.. Gilligan it's 1989, and im using future composer for the first time. my favourite artist is Rick Astley. i feel so quasi emotional right now. Jucke Laid back. Like Valley, also not my genre. _V_ Nice melody, but I believe these stertorous sounds in the background could have been done better (or does it only appear this way in the "SidPlayW"?). Cactus/Oxyron/Padua Nice melody, simple instruments but OK. Nata Nicer!! BastetFurry not badly made, just uninteresting Robin "Lobo" Vincent Sounds too sliced. If arranged medieval style I would give some more points. Turtle/Daniel Gartke The sounds are just way too raw. Also the whole composition is nothing much to remember afterwards. Domey / Panic There is something about the melody that I like. Kinda reminds me of the good old days. DRAX/MoN This one sucks! Those chords at the start and in the mid of the tune have been used thousand times before. Sounds are ugly... Bah! Let's give it a 2 and get back to normal then. Intensity This tune's another good tune. Richard Unoriginal chord progression. Sounds aint friendly either. Hein

	Wall of Fire	Richard Bayliss (Richard/TND) United Kingdom	339
	Really not bad. Nata Another one of those cliche chord progressions. Hein Average tune. The person who has done this tune (Richard?) could w0k a little more on this one. Intensity Clearly my favorite! finchy Even though I don't like the melody, I can't seem to help humming along ;-) Devia Everything the title suggests. _V_ I'm not voting my own tune Richard it's the 80's again, and im watching another crackintro. lets press space and see what happens. Jucke Nicer!! BastetFurry Nope... Scout/Silicon Ltd. not much fun, this one. except for a few extremely familiar sounding moments which bring some sweet memories of youth... the off-tempo portamento is sobering, though. so it's a 4 with a very strong gravitational pull towards a 3; consider yourself warned, stranger. trompkins Not too bad, but nothing that catches me. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Oldskool and a bit repetitive. Cadaver/Lasse Öörni One of the best, not the best however. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) please not again a wasted_time.sid iAN CooG Predictable fluff, nothing extraordinary. Dane straight forward Gilligan This is a typical Richard Bayliss tune with very good melody and harmonic. G-Fellow whatever. Robin "Lobo" Vincent

20.	Bossah Novah	Marcin Romanowski (Sidder/MultiStyle Labs) Poland	336
	ah, for a moment there i thought i'll hear 'da da da, ich liebe dich du liebst mich nicht'... but no, it's just your friendly aardvaark, nobby, going for a stroll. pleasant - but not very captivating. trompkins Ahhhh, relax! A very fine tune. Nata Bossa Nova on the C64 Richard Decent bossa tune. Dane Exact same rhythm as those small cheap Casio synths :). Sadly the tune is too repetitive. Talus First i thought, hrm what will the tune tell me? But than i feel good and releaxed, the tune makes you dream away.... G-Fellow For no reason, I suddenly need a vacation in the tropics. Another study on the classics. Very inspiring. _V_ Good to hear something different for a change. I'm not familiar with Bossah Novas but I guess the rythm is good. Possibly the harmonies should have sounded more exotic, but I cannot give good judgement on that. So I like the harmonies that are sometimes a bit out of place. Hein hehe. this is functional music. its a early summernight by the beach, you're drinking a pina colada and scratching your balls. life is lovely. Jucke I'm sure my mom likes that one :) Gilligan Interesting SID-Experiment. Just boring as hell... Intensity Nee, da's niks. Scout/Silicon Ltd. original, but a bit bland. Robin "Lobo" Vincent Quite repetitive, but good at the same time ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Reminds me of CBS Ducks Ahoy! Turtle/Daniel Gartke there's nothing like sid bossa :) RaveGuru Try to dance on this one :) finchy Welldone, but too minimalistic for my taste. This doesn't rip heads off! Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Where have I heard this before? ;) Tch/Brutal Yay! Elevator Music ^_^ BastetFurry

21.	Hangman's Swing	Maciej Stankiewicz (Trompkins/Tinnitus) The Land of Po	309
	16. Ohhh my God! := Nata 16. - Turtle/Daniel Gartke A terrible C64 jazz tune. Richard Also, a clever statement, but not sonically too pleasing :) Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Cool jazz-drum,other instruments suck a bit. Tch/Brutal Didn't enjoy it at all Merman funny Gilligan Game music? Almighty god/Domingo Álvarez Interesting Piece of music. Something different. Unfortunately the sounds just drive me mad, so a 3 for this. Intensity Law of the West! Fancy idea, even though the sounds aren’t that up to date. Domey / Panic No thank you, that lead makes my head hurt. Dane not badly done but welcome back to 1983 Robin "Lobo" Vincent Seems like a tune for an old game, but it has some style in it ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Shake it. Not my genre, still it's a good study of how the old classics were structured. _V_ Something special. I like the composition. Definately a guy/girl that knows his or her way around the music composition... A pity the sounds aren't better eventhough they fit very well together. I give this tune 7 for the composition. DRAX/MoN Swings cool BastetFurry The intro is out of tune the rest of the tune makes me think of games from 1985, but we have 2005. One point more for the idea to make such a oldsytle tune... G-Fellow the more i listen to it, the less i like it. it's gonna be speedcore next time, with proper filtering and all that fancy stuff that you wouldn't be able hear anyway because it'd be drowned under the beats - i swear. trompkins This kind of tunes is what I like. It starts of very chromatic, maybe thats how it feels with a rope around ones neck. After that its a great bluesjazz composition, no compromises. Me dig. The drummer does it, incl. ghostnotes that make a good swing. The organ sound rules too. Hein To the gallow's pole with this tune! Could be used in a new Radarsoft game tho =) Scout/Silicon Ltd. wow! this fucking rocks!! im flying! if this is danish im extremely impressed. Why make boring modern slick sidswing when you can do it like this?! So real it hurts. Jucke

22.	dATA dISCO	Robert Dörfler (LordNikon/Covenant, Telenova, Unlimited) Germany	280
	Don't quite see the dISCO, but I do see the dATA. Has an overall repetitive feel, mrm. _V_ Drum 'n bass/Garage music on the C64 = Richard banging his head against the wall. Funny little ditty in between, to sort of cheer the tune up as well. Richard filter-weirdness I'd expect from Datassette or one of the 8bitpeoples Robin "Lobo" Vincent Funny and cool sounds. Scout/Silicon Ltd. Hmmm, boring. Nata It starts off annoying, the middle part is fun. Data is like this I guess. Sometimes annoying, sometimes nice. Hein Lovely! This went straight into my brain. Cute and very old analogue bleepy sounding. I love the way it twists after each break. Jucke nerd disco Gilligan Nice... BastetFurry No thank you. I won't disco to this. Dane Sometimes I like data-tunes Turtle/Daniel Gartke Strange, but I like it! ice00 (Stefano Tognon) The name gives expectations of something much less comprehensible :) Cadaver/Lasse Öörni Uninteresting, Boring, Crappy... I wonder how ppl can contribute with such crap in a compo like SID Compo 5. Intensity Very experimentel tune with a happy middle part.. G-Fellow what i hear is a bunch of patterns that were surely cobbled together to form an atrocious beast of a zak, only something went wrong and now the beast seems to have no legs and only one arm which is too short to be of any use even for nosepicking. a failed experiment, that's what this is. trompkins

23.	Zion	Gerhard Flagge (G-Fellow/Civitas) Germany	273
	Absolutely nothing for my ears. Nata A bit chaotic and a way too strong lead Devia A little Hubbard like here. Good. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) A truly oldschool tune. It would fit perfectly to a "Nebulus"-like game. :] Cactus/Oxyron/Padua Doesn't stick, sorry. Too monotonous and no real song structure. Dane Don't like it at all.The main harmonic line is boring and the melody is attached out of context. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Future Composer is back with a vengeance. Lead voice is nice, bit the whole is a bit too bland for my tastes. _V_ good old-skool sound but a mess of a tune going on Robin "Lobo" Vincent Chaotic crappy tune. Scout/Silicon Ltd. it's 1988, and im watching a crackintro by some danish or german group. the tune was made by their mailslave, someones slightly retarded little brother. i cant help loving this a bit. Jucke less than average iAN CooG Made in a hurry... G-Fellow Nice idea doing a tune in 6/8, but still ... boring, badly done melody. Sorry. Linus/Viruz^HokutoForce Not a bad song. Richard Not my taste but sounds good enough BastetFurry Oldschool... Cadaver/Lasse Öörni plain clumsy. trompkins really don't like that laser sound. Gilligan Retro mediocre. Domey / Panic Too flat. Melody doesnt make much sense either. Hein Trident? Hmmm love sid guessing, especially at X2004 Jazzcat/David Very oldsk00lish... I hate the drums, mainly the rhythm which is quite simple and dumb. Some more Filter effects and another drum-line would have been wise. Intensity

24	Run From a Ghost (prg)	Deborah (Decompracid/Onslaught) Netherlands	216
	Too short, too boring. Nata :( Earthshaker a bit chaotic -.- BastetFurry A Little too repetivive and with few instruments ice00 (Stefano Tognon) bit boring.. sounds more like some game background music Gilligan Crap! Scout/Silicon Ltd. Doesn't really make sense to me. Dane Makes me really think that a ghost is someone hunting... G-Fellow mostly clumsy, but with a few catchy riffoids. trompkins Mysterious, albeit a little short. _V_ Nice spooky atmosphere. Hein not much happening here Robin "Lobo" Vincent Quite scary... Quite dumb... I don't like it. Intensity Short and Weird... Devia Terrible performance Richard this sounds like a first attempt almost, but it captures a vibe, and vibe is everything to me, therefore the high score for such a crappy tune. Jucke unfinished worksong? iAN CooG Would benefit from less confused rhythm IMO Cadaver/Lasse Öörni

25.	Poetry of a Lonely Mind	Peter Bergstrand / Sweden	131
	Hell on earth! Nata "file under avantgarde" Gilligan a clever, multilayered and thus prone to misinterpretation by profane masses jab at musique concrete? or a 'my-cat-stepped-on-the-keyboard-again-sorry-for-that-no-really-i'm-sorry' kind of accident? whatever the case may be, it doesn't sound random enough and i couldn't find the lyrics anywhere, so no cookie for you, my friend. trompkins A little out of sound. ice00 (Stefano Tognon) Absolutely pathetic! Richard Earned a bonus point for taking part... Merman hate people who pass off crap as poetry Robin "Lobo" Vincent hmm... Devia I really don't get this. Call me old fashioned. DRAX/MoN In some ways, this tune is a true winner. No other contribution comes close in how experimental it is. Im not joking when i say im gonna keep this one. Think of it, someone actually did this one, liked it, and sent it in. Respect! Jucke Loneliness in the mind sucks; I'd end my life as a song abruptly, too. Has the astounding merit to generate heavy discussion about its meaning. _V_ No comment. ;-) Intensity Not that poetric. Turtle/Daniel Gartke Psychodelic.
