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.

Comic Bakery (Larger than Pop Boyband mix)
Arranged by PRESS PLAY ON TAPE
Review by eliot
Arranged by Cirdan
The track is mixed and equalised very well, but unfortunately there's also some distortion at several spots. A little less maximising propably would do. But that doesn't really lower the fun of listening to this masterpiece, it actually helps it sounding 80s.
For me, it's one of the greatest tracks in 2002.
