High Voltage SID Collection – Commodore 64 music for the masses

Anyway, nice to see its still around.
It must be because people are still making music for the SID (the demoscene itself is still active¹). And jawdroppingly good tunes, with sounds we did not hear made 30 years ago. First example to come to mind: have you listened to Influx Deluxe, by Flotsam?
Myself, I always dreamed of a multi-SID system, say 6 or 12 voices, and I would like to find a collection of good producers for that, since the two-SIDs 6-channels way is now established. But I have not seen, say, a GoatTracker with the multi-SID option, nor I have noticed a sub-collection of multi-SID tunes. (In fact, many use multi-SID for the stereo effect in actual recording: say, a 6581 on one ear and a 8580 on the other).
And I want Martin Walker to produce something with it (and Tim and Wally and many many more - but MW first).

¹ at csdb.dk, I read at "Latest Releases": "2021-08-17; 2021-08-16; ...-16; ...-16; ...-16; ...-16; ...-16; ...-16 [end of table of eight]". Post written on the 17th.
What a guy. I still often see him, in shopping windows.
The first issues of HVSC appeared in a time in which the Internet was not so easy to find around, codetrotter: universities, some offices, a few friends...
Some of us had a thirst for the Internet, to put their hands and floppies on the SID tunes. To anyone their own idea of wealth.
Surely I know a person who had that harvesting in the agenda, and bothered even unknown people to download and bring home the loads of SIDtunes ("Sorry, I hear you have an Internet connection in this room, do you mind..."). I keep that person in high esteem, as I wrote. He is typing as I type.
