Conventional Music

SID sounds and snippets of SID music has been introduced into mainstream music at several occasions:

  • In the spring of 1999 Zombie Nation released a remix of game musician David Whittaker's Lazy Jones (originally written for the SID in 1984) under the title Kernkraft 400. They used an Elektron SidStation for the sound.
  • In 2001 Bas Bron sampled the drums from Jeroen Tel's and Reyn Ouwehand's song made for the Rubicon game in the song You've got my love.
  • In 2007 Timbaland's extensive use of the SidStation led to the 2007 Timbaland plagiarism controversy around his tracks Block Party and Do It (written for Nelly Furtado).
  • SidStation is essential to the sound of Swedish band Machinae Supremacy. The band defines itself as SID metal.
  • The Swedish acid ambient artist Carbon Based Lifeforms features a song called MOS 6581 on their 2003 album Hydroponic Garden.

Famous quotes containing the words conventional and/or music:

    “If the Nazis have really been guilty of the unspeakable crimes circumstantially imputed to them, then—let us make no mistake—pacifism is faced with a situation with which it cannot cope. The conventional pacifist conception of a reasonable or generous peace is irrelevant to this reality.”
    —John Middleton Murry (1889–1957)

    “He turned out to belong to the type of publisher who dreams of becoming a male muse to his author, and our brief conjunction ended abruptly upon his suggesting I replace chess by music and make Luzhin a demented violinist.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
