Thanks for the feedback so far!
@Romeo Knight: I must say that I felt a little bit queasy during the decition to use the Shades Lead and Chords for such a style genre - as you already said: the original tune is really brilliant; I know it since the release in the german C64 magazine and love it since that time.
The story behind the remix is, that during the creation of arpeggio textures I used some chords which were somehow known to me. Then I noticed that it's in fact Shades - and so the idea came up to create a remix.
Yes, I should check the chords (and tune) again, they are mainly played from memory, I missed to doublecheck this carefully enough with the SID (*blush*)
@Analog-X: thanks for the hint about the different speeds! I think that I should pause some days and then overwork the lead. It could also be played with a faster rhythm, I already tried it but it didn't "work" the first time. I will try it again.
As for the vocals I've no idea yet, how to use them in a different way without a "dadaism" result (does anybody know "return to dada" from Yello?
Best Regards, Thorsten.
