In the beginning was BIT 3. And we had Game Over. And it was not good. Well, it was, but nothing outstanding.

Anyway, so we decided to do Parallax Stroll. So me and Boz sat down, and did a version. And we thought "Hmmm, it's a bit bouncy". Despite doing everything right with the tune (using the SID to do those stabs, doing the bass right, using the SID-like lead), it just didn't convey the same emotion. This is that version. Plus Martin Galway said to us that (a) it was too repetitive (this is why the BIT 3 version alternates lead sections), and (b) had too much reliance on the SID, especially in the intro.
