Very cool to hear a bare essentials SID track transform into this captivating piece of music.

Turrican 2 Title (Highway to Heaven mix) [Encore500 V2] - arranged by Ziona

Review by LaLa, 28/03/2026

Honestly, there are very few Turrican 2 remixes I've heard before that are better than this one, and one of those was made by Chris Hülsbeck himself for his own CD album.



I could probably nitpick my way through this remix to find tiny little faults in it, but frankly, who cares. It's a great remix and the love of the original shines through this one like a beacon. Great remix!

Giana Sisters Medley feat. Romeo Knight (Encore500 V2) - arranged by Peter Clarke, Jogeir Liljedahl & Barry Leitch

Review by Tomsk, 28/03/2026

I was lucky enough to hear both Peters progress and also the lads who brilliantly finished this remix for him, after he passed. I know how much work went in, and what a great result came out. Such a moving tribute, and a tune that tells it's own story with-in. Beautiful

Giana Sisters Medley feat. Romeo Knight (Encore500 V2) - arranged by Peter Clarke, Jogeir Liljedahl & Barry Leitch

Review by NecroPolo, 26/03/2026

Peter was a class act. Rest in peace, master of SID.

This co-op track is a very nice memento. I'm especially fond of the slightly darker toned 3:20 - 5:20 part. Great soundscape and playing.

Giana Sisters Medley feat. Romeo Knight (Encore500 V2) - arranged by Peter Clarke, Jogeir Liljedahl & Barry Leitch

Review by LaLa, 20/03/2026

I don't know if we ever had a posthumous release of a remix either on AmigaRemix or RKO, so Pete may have just won that category, too. Although I wish he didn't…



The first two minutes are so unmistakably Pete: the intricate layers of plucked instruments with some slow string as pads. That's definitely his signature.



The slow and elegiac parts that follow are just incredibly mournful, asking the listener to stop and reflect.



The closing minutes are pure bliss, with a more positive message, asking us to be thankful for what we've been able to enjoy during our short time together here on Earth. Life is too short to waste…



What a fitting closure this track is to the entire album! Incredibly thoughtful and very well executed. My sincere thanks to the entire Encore team!

Turrican 2 Title (Highway to Heaven mix) [Encore500 V2] - arranged by Ziona

Review by hillsman, 20/03/2026

There are a lot of Amiga Turrican remixes and the quality varies. It is clear that a lot of effort has gone into this and that there is a love for the source material. The sounds are crisp, the melodies are on point and the arrangement is top notch. The best T2 Title Remix to date IMO.

Battle Squadron Genos 2 Edition - arranged by Tony Fluke73 Wiren

Review by hal1973, 13/01/2026

Fluke’s piano playing was truly enjoyable to listen to. The enthusiasm shown throughout the performance was clear and made the music feel lively and engaging. Fluke played with confidence and strong ability, showing good control of the instrument and a nice sense of expression. Overall, it was a pleasant and impressive performance that showed both passion and talent for piano playing.

Apidya (End Credits) - arranged by Tim Forsyth

Review by Radiarion, 29/12/2025

I love the twist on the original track. The original was and still is one of my all time Amiga tracks, and this really does it justice. This track has taken all the key elements of the original and remixed them into a smoth but incredibly catchy track. Very well done!!! if your up for a challenge Id love to hear a version of this thats more a remake in this style, but like for like, I know that would be a good mix! 😊

Top notch production crafted with so much care. No wonder it was the runner-up at BIT Live 2025's Remix Compo! Well done, Tim! Now, go ahead and finish it, please, because it feels like you got cut off at the 4 min mark due to the compo limits. 😉

Cruisin - arranged by Jogeir Liljedahl

Review by LaLa, 01/12/2025

I know this may sound like a cliché after the fact, but it's true: the first time I heard this remix after Jogeir submitted it to the BIT Live 2025 Remix Compo I thought: this is the winner. And so it was. Not just because its high quality production, not just because of the superb arrangement, but because of its humanity. It touched me, it moved me, and it still does every time I listen to it. Thank you, Jogeir!

Guitar Slinger - Second Part Remix - arranged by ElEcTrA

Review by Armandox, 04/07/2025

Very interesting and clean rework of the 2nd part of Guitar Slinger. I can hear you put some work into this! The only thing I'm not really a fan of is that arpeggio coming in at 0:48. Perhaps it's just a tad too loud in the mix or maybe should've been played an octave higher. It feels like a stand-alone part that is 'overlayed' over the track. But could have, would have, should have… This is your creative freedom, and I like where you took this and what you did arrangement wise.

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 😊

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..

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 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!
