Oh BOY!
Love SID music! Awesome.
I go through my SID collection every now and then.
The SID, being a true analogue synthesizer, is still going strong today. There are heaps of people using the SID chips to make 'modern' electronic music (techno etc.), do a search for HardSID
There's also a list somewhere of commercial songs that feature or have loops of C64 music. Console's 14 Zero Zero comes to mind. (has the start of Wizball in it)
Awesome little chip that one, way ahead of it's time.
Martin Galways music for Arkanoid was pure genius.
Wish I didn't sell my C64 and all its accessories, atleast wish I had kept the hundreds of disks I had, there's heaps of programs I've never been able to find on the net. One in particular had awesome music, I think it was simply called 'Hires'

I made his Wesat decoder and Wefax decoder.
The sat kit would pull in a live satellite pic from space right before your
eyes using an IF modified scanner (my Yaesu Frog9600).
I could have a pic start from sometimes the coastline of Antarctica and it would
drop out over Darwin.

I remember those articles well, wanted to build that stuff so bad but I was still at school at the time and couldn't afford to build it
Loved the Moffat's Madhouse articles, had some real interesting stories that guy.
Hmmm, haven't we had this conversation before?
