"Amiga Rocks" Release Party Concert Video

03/11/2024

FastLoaders released their second triple-album Amiga Rocks in the summer of 2020, an album entirely dedicated to the Amiga computer and its music. Due to COVID the release party of the album could not happen until the Back In Time Live party in October 2022 where the FastLoaders performed many tracks from the album together with several original composers, like Chris Hülsbeck, Tim Wright, and Barry Leitch. The video recording of that concert will debut on YouTube on Nov 23, 2024 at the link below.

Remix64 update: Unified Remixes, One Place for All Your Votes & Reviews!

31/10/2024

We’ve just made a big improvement to how you enjoy remixes here on Remix64. As you might know, remixes appear in either category: C64 Remixes, Amiga Remixes, and Album Releases. However, this meant that identical tracks appearing in multiple categories ended up scattered, with separate votes, reviews, and comments for each version.

Now, we’ve streamlined the system! If a remix is available in more than one category, you’ll see it all in one place. All votes, reviews, and feedback on any version of the remix now count toward a single, unified spot—making it easier to see what the community thinks and to find everything in one place. Also you'll find links to the other categories of the same release on the remix page.

This means better organization, more comprehensive feedback, and less confusion for everyone. Go check it out and let us know what you think!

A double release can still compete in both Best Amiga and Best c64 categories at the ROTY awards.

Remixers: if you have released or will release a track in multiple categories, let us know, so we can set you up. We've already linked up many past releases, but there are surely many more.

SIDRIP Alliance: "Re:ReLive" - A Re:Review

27/10/2024

A few months ago SIDRIP Alliance surprised us all by unveiling their second album at Árok Party titled Re:ReLive. Recently I took some time to jot down a few of my thoughts about the album that have been swirling in my head ever since I first heard it. Read my short review at the link below.

It's Binary, Baby!

by Marcus (Makke) Nilsson (feat. Andreas Wallström & Boz)

Contemporary retro pop that uplifts and amazes. A stunningly original CD in which Makke's personality shines through in every track! Highlights include the happy hardcore but so much more Glider Rider, the inspired hard-edged electro-synth and robotic vocals of Cauldron 2-005, and the Bonus tracks include Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus and Apoptygma Berzerk's Bitch, as well as Makke's witty and acclaimed covers of Madballs and Artura, with Makke's Irish accent all but wiping your memory of his Swedish origins!

NOTE: Even though the CD album is out of print, Makke has remastered, then uploaded all of the SID remixes from that album to RKO. You can find them here:

Listening Recommendation

Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man

Arranged by trauma

What a creative and well done remix. It's really a unique interpretation of the original. The production is great, and the structure keeps it interesting. The a cappella clips work well, and the theme that comes in after the introduction drives the remix forward with a simple but enjoyable groove. I particularly like the almost distant-/muted-sounding break section from 1:22 to 1:37. The guitar effects at around 1:51 also work well to thrust the piece back into its main theme. The vocal bends at 0:22-35 and 2:24-2:37 are very reminiscent of Mike Patton. With a professional sound, a wonderfully creative direction for the source material, and an overall feel that doesn't take itself too seriously, this is (in my opinion) one of the strongest c64 remixes out there.

I couldn't find the lyrics posted anywhere (and some people seemed to be curious about them), so I had a quick couple of listens and jotted down what I could make out. They're not official of course (as I'm merely a fellow listener), and I can't guarantee their accuracy, but I think they're correct for the most part. I couldn't make out most of the a cappella vocals, nor could I discern the 'low grumbling' from 1:30-1:37. Regardless, I have included them below:

I'm a pumpkin man
I'm a pumpkin man
I'm a pumpkin man
I'm a pumpkin man

a, a
[a cappella vocals enter]
I'm a pumpkin man
a, a
I'm a pumpkin man
a, a
I'm a pumpkin man
a, a
I'm a pumpkin man

(g-good day)

[repeats in background]

Aaaaowww…
Aaaaowww…

[following two stanzas in tandem]

I'll be jumpin' you
Just like pumpkins do

I'm a pumpkin man and I'll be chosen like a pumpkin because
I'm a pumpkin man and I will jump, jump, jump-jump-jump
I'm a pumpkin, I'm a pumpkin, I'm a pumpkin, I'm a pumpkin
Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping, Jumping

Aaaaowww…
Aaaaowww…

I'll be jumpin' you
Just like pumpkins do

[break section with low grumbling]

I'll be jumpin' you
Just like pumpkins do

Aaaaowww…
Aaaaowww…

I'll be jumpin' you
Just like pumpkins do

Whoooaaa…

I'm a pumpkin man
I'm a pumpkin man
I'm a motherfuckin' pumpkin man

I'm a pumpkin man

Firelord

Arranged by FastLoaders

Well.. this is certainly a different Firelord.. although you don't suspect it until 25 seconds in. Then all of the toys come out the toybox at once and it feels a bit like all hell breaks loose.. Personally, I'm torn.. No doubt about Jarle's guitar playing ability but the drum-track is pretty full-on and relentless and the whole thing might have benefitted from a 'breakdown' somewhere before the 3 minute mark which is approaching the end.. The soundscape is typically Fastloaders throughout, apart from beginning & end.. A bit of extra credit for including parts of the original which never made it into either Glyn's or my versions.. Musically, this is a very competent rendition and has some invention in it. The guitars in harmony are a really good sound and somehow soften the attack of the melody.. I'm just not sure that the standard Fastloaders instrument soundscape is suited here with the energy and drive of those drums propelling us at speed towards the end, without a breath along the way.. The original had a strong medieval feel to the rhythm, even though it was a SID composition. That rhythm is lost here, apart from a couple of hints at it, here & there.. This is a good remix so I won't be unkind but it could maybe have benefitted from a different rhythm with a little more ebb & flow to it.. and also a gentler soundscape with possibly a bit more 'Acoustic' and 'Organic' in the overall sound ..

Paperboy

Arranged by Luode

First of all, I think it's completely inappropriate to criticize a newcomer for his very first remix in this way, especially since the AI accusations don't seem to be true at all. People can have different opinions about music styles and tastes, but someone has made the effort to remix a song, so this should be recognized and appreciated in the first place! I find your remix quite interesting and in a way it suits my taste too. Although I wouldn't have immediately recognized it as a Paperboy remix if it hadn't been named that! 😉 The quality of the mixing and mastering could be improved. I think the arrangement is pretty good. You're on the right track. I definitely think there's enough potential here for more exciting and good sounding remixes and I would like to encourage you to keep at it and make more remixes for us to enjoy!
