New Album: SIDRIP Alliance - Re:ReLive
The Hungarian band SIDRIP Alliance is proud to present their second remix album titled Re:ReLive
! Nine years after their debut album ReLive
they've finally been able to complete their second album, which is based on their live performances between 2012 and 2018. Although the COVID pandemic put a damper on their plans for this album, they never gave up and are now ready to share their latest remixes with the world. Besides featuring C64 classics like Krakout
, Sanxion
and Outrun
, the album is also full of surprises like a medley of SNES tunes, and even an Amiga remix. Just like their previous album, this one is also free to download - although I'm sure they would appreciate your donations, too. So, go listen to their album at one of the below links and enjoy that unmistakable sonic atmosphere that only SIDRIP Alliance can provide! And after that, go to the album's page on Remix64 and vote on the individual tracks!

Reyn's Live Set at X2024
Fairlight TV recorded a good chunk of Reyn's live performance at X2024 (which was back in May), and he just posted it on YouTube. Reyn remixed a couple of well-known SID tunes live as part of his act. The audio is not exactly perfect, but the recording gives you a good idea about the magic that is Reyn improvising live.

Disgrace (Dreamers Remix)Arranged by Lea
Review by LaLa
Arranged by Larsec
arabianin this song. I like the voices very much, and I wished they where much longer and the leading instruments have been converted to this style too, 3:25 to 3:53 was at least a start or shall I say
a trySome of the
individual chunksat the end of the track do not need to make sense, but they feel wrong, Rambo at the beginning fits fine for me
The stereo profile of the lead instruments is not existent and the low mp3 rate does not satisfy me. (I listen any music always with my headphones (Sennheiser SD590).) Besides a small glitch at 5:50 and the
individual chunkson the end, this track is technically good.
The guitar solo is a highlight for me but also sounds a bit Mike Oldfield to me😉 - a SID-cover does not need to be a 1:1 cover, but should transport the flair of the C64.
Zoids is one of my all time favourites so the nostalgic impression has to be a 6. 0
