Story

Born in 1971, I grew up during the rise of homecomputers like the Commodore 64 and the NWOBHM/hard rock music scene. This era was pivotal, with artists like Rob Hubbard on the computer side and Iron Maiden and Gary Moore on the hard rock side. I’ve added a solo and outro to this remix of a classic Rob Hubbard tune.

 

Production and arrangement took a few days but mixing and mastering is another ballgame. Because of the need to get on with other projects I released this version but there will be a definitive mix and master in april 2026.

Hell yeah!! This is awesome stuff! 🤘
This is a bloody impressive debut track. Welcome to the C64 remix scene, mate!
Mix is a little bit muddy. But the guitar shines. Really love the solo virtuoso and the descending chords in the last part (3:12-). Great rocker of one of my all time favorite Hubbard-Hits!

Welcome to the remix community, Gurbz!



I really like this debut remix of yours! All the personal touches you've added to the original arrangement really make it stand out. Really top-notch.



But to be honest, I think the mix could be better, it doesn't quite has the clarity and crispiness I'd expect from a hard rock tune, but I'm willing to overlook that, since everything else with this remix is just so good.
