THC FlatLine - BMX Kidz (5th Dream About Happiness)

THC Flatline's remix is a fine piece of work, but after LMan's remix it's apparent that it is further removed from the spirit of Yip's composition. Flatline attempted to cover Yip's famous hiscore tune here, but IMHO it was a big mistake even to think about covering this tune. It sounds just perfect on the SID chip itself, thank you, there's no need to ruin it with ugly modern samplers, workstations and virtual analog synths. =) With that said, Flatline gave it everything he could to try to create a faithful cover, and while I'm sure that in the future virtual analog synth manufacturers will use his tune to demo the capabilities of their instruments, it still falls short of Yip's amazing original. On a scale of 1-10 this cover gets 10 for effort and 10 for implementation, but since I gave Yip's SID tune a 100 to begin with… (Yes, I am being too tough on Flatline, but hey - this is what I think! 😉 It's very hard to cover tunes that exploit the capabilities of the SID chip so well.)
