Platypus Reclayed

04/10/2025

Platypus Reclayed is a follow-up to the original Platypus game published in 2002 and it is now available on several platforms. At this point you might ask, what does this have to do with Commodore remixes? Well, because the entire soundtrack of the game consists of nothing but C64 remixes, licensed mostly from the "Back In Time 2" (1999) album!

Remix64 Volume 2: Into Eternity

Remix64 v2 - Into Eternity

by Various Artists

The original Remix64 title referred more to the community embracing the remixers than the content of the CD. And so it was that Remix64 - Into Eternity turned into a symphonic epic not a million miles away from the popular Merregnon series of CDs: there certainly is a teutonic air to much of the album. Highlights of the CD include Markus Holler's spine-tingling reworking of Fist 2 with flute and ethereal vocals, and Thomas Detert's Spellbound which gives life to Rob Hubbard's own dark vision for the piece. Belying the computery artwork of the cover, this CD is a powerful piece of fantasy soundtrack more than it is a remix CD. Enjoy it at that level, and be blown away.

 

NOTE: Altough the CD album is now out of print, most of the tracks of the album have been uploaded to RKO, and they are available there for free:

Listening Recommendation

 Sigh of The Eye (Analog Dust)

Arranged by ifadeo

I got a bit confused when i listened to this, the tune said sigh of the eye but my ear said platoon you buffoon!

so delving into mr dunn (ooer) i realise he obviously liked this tune so much he put it into platoon (or lifted it out and did a better sounding version) either way ifadeo has done something rather beautiful with it.
Its a very easy going sound that he has created, I can hear the usual trademark synths being used too good effect as ifadeo does, the tune was pleasent and very beautiful in the 1st place and this is pure lounge business.

The only gripe i really have is with the hi-hats in the background of the beat they sound a little too dirty but thats just a minor thing when the rest of the tune is as good as it is.
Not an essential download, you dont need this to have the definitive c64 collection but if you like good music and love easy going melodies then this would be for you.

As i said before a sociably acceptable remix that pleases my ear personally and i recommend downloading it, and for those that have never heard of the tune heed the words above it is platoon sid2 aswell as sigh of the eye so if u like that essential if you dont then trying things new never hurt anybody… except novice sword swallowers of course.

 Last Ninja (extended)

Arranged by Instant Remedy

This is still my favourite remix of all time. Even though it may be over 3 years old and plenty more tracks have better sounds, better tempo, better style. It still rocks. The restyled version on his album just backs up this original version still better.
