Cut the midrange, drop the bass!?
Well, Boz's "Sanxion '96! (Breakbeat Mix)" [Sanxion - Loading Theme.xm] is the real surprise for me here. From the opening early ninetees piano, I expected to hate this, but once the drums kick in and you realise it's not all cheesey wotsits after all, you can't help but grin and nod your head in nostalgic bliss all the way through. All the main humable elements of the original tune seem intact, but shifted to a minor key.
Definetely not your usual 30sec cracktro ready, minimalist chiptune tone-fest [sanxion6.mod] nor the all too common half baked, lofi, off key [sanxion7.mod], tracker effort either! Rather, an accomplished and slightly cheeky interpretation of a timeless classic :)
Also worth mentioning is 'sanxionw.xm' - more straight forward, but with plenty of crunchy goodness (think Sanxion meets Hybris ...)
