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.

Giana Sisters (Keep Da Scene Alive)
Arranged by DHS
Anyway here we go: When I got the first beta from DHS I was very curios about the final version and it worked out much better I ever thought. This is from my view due to several reasons. One of it is as always something different, something creative with parts you didn't expect in a techno track. But if you carefully listen to his music you can always expect something special from him.
The smooth orchestral/choir part beginning at 01:00 and ending at 02:00 is my favourite one. Very often remixers/musicians are put into one ore more categories of musical styles. While leaving this path it always interesting to get results which make hungry for more - which means I would love to hear orchestral work from him. As I know how the choir was done since I am using the same base material it is easy to say he combined male and female very well.
The quality of the orchestral AKAIs could have been better since I am very spoiled, anyway this doesn't influence the quality of the notes played with it 😊
At least very nice to have an orchestral DHS and just can say I would love to hear more different styles from him.
Well, back to the techno parts scooty Makke has done excellent work. I have heard some of his work also on other (non-remixes) pieces and really like his work as much as in this track.
Mixing and mastering isn't my best topic but shortly to say the track is well mixed for my ears on my gear. The mastering fits well since the orchestral part has a good dynamic range while the rest is on high level you would expect for this track. At 02:54 I hear an overload on my gear which seems to come out as my 'typical DHS crackle' *lol* Well, I have heard some 'overloads' on MD SIDologie too which no one could hear. Seems that this is just bloody me since I go for lower level mastering.
Finally top professional stuff, which didn't let me stop tapping with my feets, yup me techno aversional. The rules for reviewing say: If you didn't like the original, better not review the remix.
Ooppss. Sorry 😊

Apidya (End Credits)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
