The B!tch of Death - arranged by 7DD9

Review by Steff, 08/06/2025

Hat mich anfangs ein wenig an Jan Hammer - Crocketts Theme erinnert. Schön gemachter Mix!

A nice track for a dynamic editing. I use it for the teaser of PydPainter, the DPaint3 python remake.

OutRun Passing Breeze Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 Wiren

Review by Radiarion, 21/03/2025

This captures the original beautifully with your own personal twist to it. I actually imagined myself playing outrun listening to this, rather than driving my Farrari by the ocean, more like flipping it 😊

Only thing is its a little too linear and needs a little more of a human element (too perfect on timing?) The Chorus is great. Very nice work

Turrican 3 Payment Day Title Music - arranged by Tony Fluke73 Wiren

Review by Radiarion, 21/03/2025

Hi Tony, Love your Amiga remakes, what a musical genius. Really like this Turrican 3 payment day mix. Id like to hear it be a little more solid with the drums and the intro, other than that, amazing work takes me back to the 80s & 90s when games were games 😊

The Seven Gates Of Jambala - arranged by Glyn R Brown

Review by Poke16384, 06/03/2025

Woah! This is why Glyn is considered to be the top remixer in the scene.. Arrangement, Soundscape and Dynamics.. He's the master of all.. This is so beautiful & so emotive.. The power is used to the max but never gets out of control.. and the whole track is a wonderful journey..

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter Clarke

Review by C64_Gamer, 20/01/2025

This is a really great interpretation of Supremacy. As with a lot of Peters remixes you never quite know where he will take you. The orchestra arrangement here is wonderful in the way it shifts gears while sounding very authentic and I have to agree with others here, the closing watch chimes are pure musical emotion. Super remix Peter.

Turrican 10 Anniversary edition - arranged by Tony Fluke73 Wiren

Review by pathfinder1985, 17/01/2025

Tony streams regularly and engages very well with his audience. He is really good at playing by ear and provides a weekly event to look forward to. If you like retro gaming music from the 80s and 90s you can't go wrong!.

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter Clarke

Review by Poppykuk, 05/01/2025

A different take on Supremacy to all the others out there… Cinematic and Epic.. The orchestra work is superb and the way it comes full circle with the gradually slowing watch chimes to finish is super emotive and really clever.

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter Clarke

Review by Jackal, 28/11/2024

To even come up with the concept of taking the Supremacy theme and taking it someplace it's never been (Morricone style) was genius… Executed perfectly. When those fat French horns kick in its *chef's kiss*… Excellent work by Mr. Clarke. I will concede that Despite my protests, Mr Clarke stuck to his guns on the musicbox section, and he was right to do it his way.

Treasure Island Dizzy (I Can Fly Remix) - arranged by Gareth Wood

Review by onlineamiga, 24/10/2024

My favourite Dizzy game, favourite Dizzy soundtrack, and I am just loving this remix. Great synths, great vibe. BUT… the drums, they're not working for it. It's a good beat, and then its like theres extra drum beats that dont fit, sounds like its skipping and doesnt fit, and ruins the flow of the tune. If that can be fixed, this would be an amazing 5 star remix!

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 End Tune - arranged by Tony Fluke73 Wiren

Review by Oxx, 12/04/2024

While the execution is perfect, the lead at 01:47 is above all expectations, the reasons this is not all three REDs for me are:

1. The arpeggios, which are the main characteristic of this tune in my opinion, are not the same. Somewhere in the original tune the arpeggios play isolated and that is the greatest part for my humble ears and the signature of the tune.
2. At 01:56 the part of the melody is different than the original, this may well be intentional. I listened to the original one to comfirm this.

Overall, this is again great great work Tony. Let's imagine you went to a friend's party and someone played this live! Amazing.

Turrican 2 - Title (Encore500) - arranged by Jogeir Liljedahl & Rapture

Review by Radiarion, 14/02/2024

I stumbled accross the turrican games by accident when i… … aquired… some games and these were amungst them. I remember putting the disc in, hearing this track and didnt actually play the game for about an hour, just sat listening to this awesome sound, and this is one of the best remakes Ive heard!! Its freshened up a little, but kept everything the original was and more. What a great job!!!

Battle Squadron - HiScore (Encore500) - arranged by Tomsk

Review by LaLa, 19/01/2024

A uniquely elegiac remix that is becoming Tomsk's signature style. Absolutely wonderful and so full of emotions! The instrumentation is a skillful combination of violins, strings, guitars, and drums (and probably a bunch of other instruments, too), and the overall arrangement has a wonderful arc to it. So well done, I really enjoy it!

Occ-my-god! What a great uptempo, dancey, staccato-heavy remix! It sounds like a modern chiptune mixed with heavy Italo disco and it really takes me back. Fantastic!

Rallye Master (Encore500) - arranged by Romeo Knight

Review by LaLa, 15/01/2024

Personally, I think the original Rallye Master Obarski tune is a bit uninspiring (ducks hail of rotten tomatoes thrown his way…), but Romeo Knight makes the most out of the material with a genius idea: make it into a Depeche Mode pastiche! It's spot on! Really well done, the early 80s style is instantly recognizable.

Leander - Title (Encore500) - arranged by Glyn R Brown

Review by LaLa, 15/01/2024

The original one is fairly cinematic, too, so it's a perfect fit for that special electronic-cinematic treatment that only Glyn can provide. He is in full force here commanding a spectrum of instrumentation that several Hollywood music producers would be envious of. Just majestic!

Review by Jackal, 07/11/2023

Such a wonderful Vangelis feel to this piece. I couldn't help but shed a tear at it's absolute beauty. I had to go seek out the original, and I'm blown away by the vision he had to take it to this level. If you close your eyes, it's like being in 1986 all over again.

A Prehistoric Tale - arranged by Jogeir Liljedahl

Review by Poke16384, 07/11/2023

Unmistakably Jogeir… but a really faithful remix of Johen Hippel's original… The soundscape is SOOO nice, spread out and airy… There's just enough modification here for Jogeir to put his own signature on it… (and clearly a lot of respect for the original work)… Lot's of lovely playing in the performance, especially the bent & slid notes of the melody… My ears are in paradise…
