Welcome to remix64 and remix. kwed. org Dave!

I can't count how many Last Ninja 2 remixes we already got here and this one goes into the wrong direction. Even done as hardcore tekkno (it's not trance ) it should remain the spirit of the original and this spirit went away It's fast, it's tekkno, but that's all, I hope Dave does better next time.

While it may not have been to everyone's taste, Zombie Nation at least proved that competent, mainstream dance remixes of C64 tunes are perhaps the way to commercial viability. This mix sits squarely in the same field--a fast, energetic techno tune, which would not be out of place in clubs across the land. However, in the conversion to this style, the piece has lost most of the soul of the original. Dance music aficionados will most likely lap this up, but stoic fans of the original SID should probably steer clear.
