STIL:

TITLE: Mystified [from the Amiga MOD module]
ARTIST: Jogeir Liljedahl
COMMENT: Prior to public release, GRG believed this tune was originally done on the Amiga by Liljedahl. According to GRG, when fellow countryman Geir Tjelta heard the SID, Tjelta informed GRG that he thought the original was actually done by Bug (Stein Erik Giske) rather than Liljedahl. Tjelta also informed GRG that Bug passed away in 1992 thus giving GRG inspiration to rename the tune before releasing publicly. Unfortunately Tjelta's credit information was incorrect, however Tjelta does not recall giving GRG incorrect credits perhaps suggesting there was a miscommunication between the two. Another theory is that there may have been confusion between Jogeir's "Mystified" and one of Bug's tunes named "Slider" where the first few notes are similar but indeed the two tunes are very different. Reflecting back, Jogeir Liljedahl, a friend and group member of the late Bug, adds the following: "When it comes to Mystified, it's 100% my original tune. I haven't even thought about the similarities to Bug's Slider tune, but the 5-6 first notes of the song are similar to Mystified. But it's a completely different song of course. Either me or Bug noticed that back then, and Bug was a huge fan of Mystified, since he was among the first to hear the song (along with Olav Rasmus Vorren aka Shorty)."
