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)
“People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around—the music and the ideas.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
