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.
