Ben Daglish - He was amazing! I spoke to him for about half an hour and he pulled in a crowd around us with his animated answers. Ben's very much like that. I think being a proper muso (which he is) kind of does that to you. He's a good laugh as well and I can remember talking to him for ages about...

Now if we had it up the road at Bowness-on-Windermere, we could well have the low score competition at crazy golf. Any challengers?

OK, I did it. I made a made a remix of a SID from the VARIOUS folder... this one is for you Waz... I didn't expect such a quick response in terms of someone producing a remix, and kudos to you for giving it a go. I'll be sure to take a listen, once I can tear myself away from the new Frank Black an...

I was going to start on an idea I had for a remix that I wanted to sound like KLF's "What Time Is Love", however I've been unable to find the right sounds for it. So I'm wondering if anyone (with a keen ear or whatever) have any clue what gear they might've used for that song. Kwed is you...

I'm still not convinced by that particular point: Even decades later, people still love e.g. The Beatles or ABBA The original compositions, yes. Just like the original C64 pieces. No one tires of them that much. I'm sure in 20 years time people will still like the loading theme from Rambo etc. Howe...

For me its a personal thing. For many remixers, it's a personal thing as to what they'd like to hear done well, and that's natural. But considering the many good original pieces you did on the C64 for example, wouldn't it be nice if someone else (not you, as you know your own stuff of course) took ...

By the way, Waz, You don't need 'the whole thing' to enjoy something. For example, I could listen to the opening tune of "Terra Cresta" all day without ever having the need to see the actual game, it's that powerful. For certain compositions, it depends on the game. Also, like DHS mention...

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree to with a lot of what Warren says. That's fair enough. I knew when I wrote this article it was going to be controversial. However, just by talking about it I hope it does inspire people to try something for a change. For a start, while I agree that a select few tun...

I've already had mails exclaiming that these tunes aren't classics and why didn't we pick out different tunes which could be considered as classics. Reason being is that this CD is more about Musical creativity than pure nostalgia. Tho ofcourse there's still that element of nostalgia there. You've ...

Dear Warren, I remix something that appeals to me and that make me feel emotionally involved. That's true with very famous sids, not unknown ones. This is an hobby, not a work. I realise the last sentence a heck of a lot, considering my HVSC background. Yes, it is a hobby, and as such, yes you do h...

Every single hotel in Brighton seems to have this rule, doesn't it? Unfortunately, a lot of UK seaside resorts are like that, particularly over weekends during the Summer months. Blackpool and Southport are the same over here, too, which is why a lot of people go to Travelodge etc for one night sta...

And even though I won't be there, here's a bit anyway... Real name: Warren Pilkington Handle: Waz Fave drink: Boddington's or any real ale (that's proper hand pulled, none of this press a button rubbish for me) Fave C64 game: Wizball Fave C16/Plus 4 game: Oblido or Tutti Frutti Fave VIC20 game: Dood...

Has anyone ever ever done a remix of I Ball?? If they did, I would think that RKO wouldn't accept it on the fact that Hubbard's tune is actually a cover of two Cabaret Voltaire tracks (please consult the STIL entry within HVSC for more information on this, or check out the entry online at http://ww...

Indeed, I'll second that. Way to go, that man!

Actually, did you go to Cark and Cartmel for that woman, Dan?

62-18, yes. Although Dan and I kicked back with a 27-11 win in the second game. Damn good fun though.

Oh, and it's air hockey, Neil. Something I'm used to playing, so I did have a slight advantage.

And it's not spawnyness, it's called "I've played it before"
