REVIEW BY immacolata (15/09/2003)

Introduction gets off a bit bad with a highly uninspiring drum track, then proceeds to slowly build into the SID tune. On a few occassions you hear a Vocoder kind of voice saying something, while adding a nice effect, it just comes off as a bit cheesy in my ears. I guess it might be because I get painful flashbacks to the All your Base Are Belong To Us-flash video, which uses this voice extensively.

As the tune progresses the remixer plays with different instruments, but it only really gets into something beautifil around the 2:30 mark and towards the end of the tune. While Glider Rider is one awesome piece of SID, this remix doesn't quite do it's predecessor justice. The drum track ruins it for me, and in the end I actually prefer the original SID to this.

amigamer shouts: I don't like the drums-only-sequence in the beginning but the rest makes good for this. I don't think there's any way this could have been done better! Superior stuff!
omoroca shouts: Not as good as Makke's version.
daniel_100 shouts: Best version in my opinion :D
