The Demoscenic Route - A C64 & Amiga Remix Album.
Oh look - it's another remix album!
This time, I'm happy to present ten remixes originating from both the Commodore 64 and the Amiga demoscene! Woot! 😃
However, since this remix album is dedicated to the demoscene, you won't find any game music remixes or commercial music covers in here. All the remixes are (as far as I know) based on strictly non-commercial original tunes from demos, intros, cracktros, etc.
The focus is less common and/or lesser known tunes, the music styles vary somewhat but remain in the electronic music genre, and the overall mood of this album ranges from mellow to upbeat bouncy, whereas a minimal amount of creative liberties were taken during the remixing process since I mainly wanted to upscale and extend the original music.
Also worth mentioning is that the first half of the album (tracks 1 to 5) is all C64 remixes, while the second half (tracks 6 to 10) is all Amiga remixes.
And yes, this is a totally free digital album!
It can easily be downloaded from the links below.
Enjoy!

Markus Siebold 1969-2026
We have just learned that Markus Siebold — musician, SID composer, and remixer — has recently passed away at the age of 57. He is best known for creating music for the game Turrican II: The Final Fight on the C64, alongside numerous other SID tunes throughout the late 80s and early 90s. Over the years, he shared his own remakes of that iconic soundtrack here on Remix64, along with several other remixes. We are deeply saddened by his loss and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family, to his friends, and to everyone touched by his life and his music.
Matt Gray: Green Beret Main Theme (R5 Version)
Another track from Matt Gray's Reformation 5 dropped today:
Matt Gray: This time it's one of the remakes for the main R5 album and an all time favourite C64 tune Green Beret Title/Main Theme by the maestro Martin Galway. I must have re started on this track half a dozen times over the last couple of years and I finally found a blend of SID elements and new parts that I really like.
I can still remember the Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1986 that I bought this game and rushed home to load it up and check out what Mr G had conjured up. The loading music was excellent but this title theme blew me away at the time.
Hopefully you all feel much the same when you hear this new version.

Silent Service II Title RemixArranged by CZ Tunes
Review by neglesaks
Supernerd Lightforce RemixArranged by Jurek Raben
The first 30 seconds work really well and remind me a lot of the electroclash stuff (Miss Kittin & Hacker etc) but after the really promising start it breaks apart to an incoherent mess. The reason for this in my opinion is that too many melodies and synths samples (and filtering) drown the basic idea - sometimes less is more. Also, some of the sound choices don't work that well, especially the lead synth starting around 1:15.
All in all, the concept and idea works but the result would be so much better if done more in line with the genre style (disclaimer: I'm probably not the best person to evaluate this kind of stuff but somehow just the lost potential got me to comment). Waiting for the next remix…

Arranged by Tim Forsyth
Then I randomly stumbled upon this remix. It sounded good, so I downloaded it… and ended up listening to it on repeat hundreds of times.
Today, I thought to myself,
Wait a minute… did this game actually have some good music?So I fired up YouTube to give the soundtrack a proper listen…
But where the hell is that track?!
Oh, it's the ending credits theme… Okay… Well then… Alright, Chris's original version is good. But you turned it into something truly exceptional. Congrats
