Scroll Machine (5th Dream About Happiness)

This one covers the "Scroll Machine" demo version of YIP's "5th Dream About Happiness". An altered version was also used as Highscore music for "BMX Kidz" (as covered before by THC Flatline)

  • The Remix is all chemical stylee :-)

  • The subtle inclusion of the wah-guitar was inspired by DHS' "IK+ Chemical Stadion Mix"

Big Hug & Kiss goes out to my Sunflower!
Cheers to everyone who supports the remix community!

REVIEW BY lagerfeldt (21/07/2003)

Another super cool remix by LMan da man. This times it's a remix of a somewhat unknown SID by Yip of Pure Byte, though one of my all-time favourites. The original SID is quite distinctive and very original in many different respects.

The remix features the drum loop made famous by Prodigy on their Music for the Jilted Generation album (track 8, Poison). It's a well wicked loop and doesn't detract from the remix to say the least, it fits perfectly.

Even the lead sound in this remix is a bit borrowed from Prodigy (or Chemical Brothers in fact) but again it's not an issue as the song itself is miles away from said inspiration sources.

Some nice breaks and bits keep the mix from getting repetitive, and as in many of LMan's other remixes the humour simply shines through.

Overall a superb remix but perhaps you need to know or listen to the original SID first in order to appreciate the music a bit more.

brix shouts: The orginal SID was one of a kind, and the remix is just like that.
slaygon shouts: Don't know how many years I've had this as my ring signal now, but it's many! Just love this piece to bits! (teehee, see what I did there?)
