Firefly
I got my c64 in 1990, and Firefly was the first game I loaded into it.

The melody of this remix is from Pro-52 (an analoque synthesizer emulator) and the baseline is from my Juno-106 (another analogue synthesizer, but a real one).

I spent over 20 hours to arrange the lead, baseline and the "chords", so I hope you like the result...:)

There's no loops used in this song

REVIEW BY gleb (23/09/2003)

Upon seeing this I was thinking "you know, no matter what I listen to, it's not going to beat the original SID tune"

The thing with this tune is, it's a song that only the SID can really do.
The cool thing is that ocean understands this in his arrangement.

It's fairly true to the original, all that's really added are more digital drums. But because he sequenced this with hifi equipment, it's what anyone who loves the Firefly theme could ever want... it's like "firefly remastered" not a "firefly remake." However there are some neato little tricks and variations he throws in, that aren't like drastic or extremely noticeable, which is a good thing... they are appropriate with the rest of the tune.

Nice job!

symbols shouts: Love the strings around the middle, gives the tune a different perspective. Excellent modern remastering.
Satanarchist shouts: You found the filter knob, and my word you're gonna use it.
