That was an awesome CD... especially the first two tracks.

He had a Sidstation on his 2002 tour , but when I encountered him on his 2003 tour, 
he said that he was using Quadrasid because something was wrong with his 
Sidstation. It looked like the whole show was run from a laptop, but it was a wonderful 
performance anyway.

[plug] Tarmvred also has a SID-heavy track on Mile 329's "don't touch my car!!" 
compilation, continuing his great tradition of mixing VGM and heavy, broken 
rhythm.... maybe just a little bit heavier and darker than his 6581 CD. This 
compilation also features excellent 8-bit material from Skincage and Isv 
(exploring the possibilities of circuit-bent casio keyboards in the artists' established 
song structures) and Naked Intruder (mixing atari 2600, NES 2A03, and Casio SK-1), 
as well as a healthy selection of heavily structured industrial music from veteran 
musicians and newcomers. Just $10 USD from http://www.mile329.org/ .

There are a bunch of other Tarmvred compilation tracks with a lot of SID that I really 
like... the appearances on Force of Nature's "Dark Transmissions" and the "Zombie 
Commandos From Hell" soundtrack are great.
