> mtk.mp3.56 - 16 .SID tracks, 45 minutes++ - 30/06/01

> Finally here, and the first non-.MP3/.MOD release on
> Monotonik, we're _very_ proud to present an officially
> sanctioned compilation with the creator-picked best of the
> .SID (Commodore 64) tunes from the legendary Vibrants crew.
>
> Even for those of you who weren't C64-owners or fans, know
> this - Vibrants are a Danish crew who were formed back in
> 1987 and number some of the biggest composers in Commodore
> 64 history, including Laxity and Drax (both also members
> of the fabled Maniacs Of Noise), Metal and JCH. Collectively,
> they're one of the few providers of non-videogame .SIDs to
> make it into the High Voltage .SIDs all-time Top 100
>
> Anyhow, we asked the Vibrants guys themselves to come up
> with a definitive album-sized collection, and here it is -
> 16 totallyamazing tracks spanning almost 10 years. So
> whether it's the opening phunk of Laxity's "Syncopated",
> the lush tempos of JCH's "Chordian", the cosmic groove
> of Metal's "Fusion", or the soaring melodies of Drax's
> "Scarlet", you're pretty much sorted for .SIDs and whizz..
>
> So, hopefully this compilation really shows off why there's
> recently been a custom synth (the SIDStation) built around
> the SID chip, and Zombie Nation could simply sample a
> Martin Galway .SID-based tune and have a gigantic hit
> record with it ("Kernkraft 400"). SID's back, baby, if,
> indeed, it had ever been away..

> [NB:these files are in their original Commodore 64 .SID
> format, which means that you'll need to download a custom
