The Kickstarter campaign of Wings of Death - Reworked Anthology
by the German Remix Group is live as of today and is accepting pledges, with €1287 of the original €6500 goal already pledged with 29 days still to go. As a reminder, the finished product will be available not only as a digital download, but also on physical media: as a double CD, and as a limited-edition Best of

Matt Gray: Central Park Main Theme (LN2) (R5 Version)
The second album from Matt Gray's Reformation 5
project is most definitely in the works as evidenced by another track he posted from the upcoming Last Ninja 2
album. Earlier this year we got a single featuring the main theme from The Sewers level, and today we got a single with Central Park Main Theme.
A Quick Q&A with the German Remix Group
The German Remix Group (GRG) has recently announced that on April 22nd, 2026 they will launch a Kickstarter campaign for the creation of a physical album dedicated to Jochen Hippel's soundtrack of the Amiga game 'Wings of Death'. Although this group has been publishing remix albums since 2012 - all of which have been available for free on their website - not everybody may be familiar with them, so I thought I would make them sit down and answer a few questions to introduce themselves and their new campaign to the readers of Remix64.com. You can read my interview with them at the link below.

Future KnightArranged by Markus Schneider
future knight is by far my favorite sid of all time.
And markus also happens to be one of my favorite sid artists too (rolling ronny springs straight to mind) so hearing this again really does tickle the right places for me.
Where to start? the composition is near flawless but that is to be expected of mr shneider, the sound quality is superb, this is pretty much more of a cover than a remix, so if you liked the sid like i did hearing this is like getting the ps2 version of the game with an updated soundtrack.
Personally its probably my favorite remix on RKO, if you've never heard future knight then it might not be to your taste(it being a ben daglish tune)and he was never one to conform to the boundaries of what was around at the time.
Its well worth a listen if you enjoy orchestrated music.

Come Around (Turrican 2 - Level 1 Remix)
Arranged by Remix Inc
You gave away a lot of potential with the vocals.
So average rating for the technical merit.
The idea is very good and I basically like the lyrics. Guitars are very good. The tune has a good range of variety and never gets boring.
A very good rating for the artistry.
The nostalgia is always difficult to judge I think.
With the added vocals its like a complete new tune but its still recognizeable.
Good rating for the Nostalgia.
