SID Doing Paula

'SID Doing Paula' is a C64 music collection released by Arkanix Labs, containing my covers of some of my favourite Amiga 'cracktro' and 'intro' mods.

The collection contains covers of:

• Matkamies by Heatbeat/Carillon
• Crack or Die! by Jugi/Complex
• Bambam by Jozz/TRSI
• Delicate Oooz! by Emax TRSI
• Frequency Shifter by Mr Death/CTR

There is a hidden tune.  'Uridium 2 Loader' by Jason Page is hidden because it's from a commercial game not a cracktro/intro, so technically doesn't fit with the others in the collection.  I had to cover it though because it's a great piece of music.

I also pixelled the graphics for the collection, with a riff on the Amiga boot screen (but with a 5.25" disk instead) in the intro and the main tune selection screen designed to look like an Amiga DOS command line interface screen.  A C64 sprite masquerading as a Workbench pointer indicates the tune that is currently playing.  Coding was by Trooper.

The collection can be downloaded from CSDb here or downloaded directly here...
 
I'll post another blog entry soon with some notes about the SID's in the collection and a link to download the original raw Goattracker song files.

Do yourself a favour. Go and find the original Amiga versions and listen to them too.  And yes, the name of the collection is an attempt to sound a little risqué.
