The Last V8 (Metal Tribute) - arranged by XxDUSTYxXReview by Waz, 07/09/2022 Very enjoyable and plenty of metal as you drive along with the most broken C64 game controls ever. It's very well made and just a little of the feel is lost for me, but kicks hard anyway. Definitely a sign of greater things to come later (see the 2020 Tusker rework!) |

Fist2 - The Legend Continues (feat. Vaggelis) - arranged by XxDUSTYxXReview by Waz, 07/09/2022 You want a hard rock and metal section for Fist II? Well, look no further. It's as if Neil Brennan himself reformed his band and played it this way. Thoroughly enjoyable and keeping the spirit of the SID intact too. |

Cybernoid II (The Revenge) - arranged by Mutherpluckin' BReview by LaLa, 06/09/2022 This would be your typical I actually quite like this, has a certain oldschool prog-rock feel to it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll have to fire up my bong and my lava lamp while I listen to it once more. 😉 |

Grand Prix Circuit - arranged by jensa86Review by testacorsa, 05/09/2022 Well done! I am very impressed by your ability to keep itlo-fi. The dry sound, especially the drums is spot on. The Pad soundwith delay on the first beat from 0:53 really takes it to another dimension, but still stays true to the spirit of the song. I imagine this is what Kristjan Hatlelid would have made it sound like, if the c64 had the ability back then. 10/10 . Absolutely ♥ it. |

Ace 2 - Remastered - arranged by OxxReview by Eivind Sommersten, 05/09/2022 I really like this - a good take on the original! There is still a lot of headroom left in the mix though and I feel perhaps the low end is slightly left out and that could be causing it. Maybe just a bit more attention to mastering in general would help here. There is such tremendous growth in your mixes - in no time at all you will be on top, not only here! |

Falcon Patrol II orchestra version - arranged by Nadin0xD400Review by Gabiwan, 05/09/2022 I loved this game, it reminds me of my childhood. I love it, very good music. Congratulations! |

Ace 2 - Remastered - arranged by OxxReview by LaLa, 05/09/2022 WOW! A huge improvement from your first version of this remix! Luckily, you kept the same overall arrangement, which I already liked in your first version. But you enhanced the sounds and the mixing in this one by leaps and bounds. I love the added vocals, too - they're sometimes subtle, but definitely improve the song. You injected a tremendous amount of energy into your arrangement with your tinkering. Very impressive, very well done! |

IK+ remix - arranged by a-MaceReview by Oxx, 23/08/2022 The beginning is so promising, I can't help feeling a bit disappointed with the rest. But all in all (after listening to it for multiple times), I think I liked the arrangement, the altered parts of the melody etc. Just one note , I think the part starting at 02:58 deserves a good lead instrument and some sophistication, but the supporting elements starting at 03:14 compensate for it. Most of the melodic parts are recorded (or programmed) without velocity fluctuations (if my ears are not failing me. If this is not so you can always correct me) Will listen to it once more now 😊 |

Terra Cresta - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by Tas, 19/08/2022 I agree with Tim. This needed to be longer and as Tim superbly says - We needed to be taken on a journey. |

Rambo High Score (RKO100 extended rework) - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by LaLa, 18/08/2022 One year later… An outstanding rendition of the Rambo High Score tune! I especially like when at 1:02 that bass comes in, then at 2:15 that piano track - very nice addition. And that trumpet during the last minute or so is just icing on the cake. I really like how it all builds up to that final minute. Thank you for gifting us this extended version! |

Falcon Patrol II orchestra version - arranged by Nadin0xD400Review by Joecat, 12/08/2022 Like a russian military orchestra! It is a real epic war hero music! Very good! |

Commando (Extended SID Mix) - arranged by Anthony WaltersReview by al.x, 28/07/2022 I love this! It's the SID music we know and love! Please, give me more! |

Terra Cresta - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by LaLa, 19/07/2022 Just when I was getting into it with the vocoded voice setting up the saga - it ends. This entire remix feels like an intro to a much longer piece. |

Outrun M.S.S (Fieramente Flamanco Fiesta) - arranged by 0supereg0Review by LaLa, 16/07/2022 Writingflamencoand fiestainto the subtitle elevates expectations pretty high, but I'm afraid this remix doesn't really live up to them. The arrangement sounds a bit of a mess, although I can't quite put my finger on why. The synthy instruments sound out of place in this genre for me, the improvs are too meandering, the delay is dialed up a bit too high on the backing tracks, and so on - my ears were pretty tired by the end of this 6+ min track. |

Parallax Mini EP - The Past, Present and Future - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by IamnotKen, 15/07/2022 Like Galway meets Cerone in his most awesomeness space-opera era! Very nice twist on my favourite C64 music. |

Hades Nebula Title (Etheral Chill Remix) - arranged by Jinx138Review by DMC, 15/07/2022 Since LaLa did his fabulous take on Hades Nebula it is very hard for me to open my heart to other people's attempt on Hades Nebula. But this one clearly has something to it . I like the style, the choice of sounds, the arrangement and the atmosphere. It seems like this is your very first track on remix64 so all I can say is:Very well done and keep up your good work. I am looking forward to more remixes. |

Comic Bakery Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Jinx138, 14/07/2022 Nice mixing, cool drums and chilly trumpet sounds. Great job! I really like the relaxing atmosphere reminding me of beaches and cocktails… |

Shades (Single Edit) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by LaLa, 11/07/2022 For some reason the style of this remix reminds me of the memory I had of the Neverending Story title track, yet when I listen to that one, it's clearly not the same style, because the movie soundtrack was more pop than this. This one has lush pads, a dreamy lead, spacious drums, and plenty of reverb. Actually, I think this remix would've fit rather well with movie's soundtrack! 😊 Anyway, I quite like it! Especially with the catchy melody of Hülsbeck's original. Well done! |

Exos - Acid 2 - (Bring the Beat Back) - arranged by OxxReview by LaLa, 02/07/2022 First of all, thank you for remixing this hidden little gem of a SID! I was familiar with it even before your remix, so thanks for picking it! This is a bouncy remix that is fitting for the original SID, and I quite enjoy it! Despite your efforts I think the low end is still not as punchy as it could be (or should be). The addition of the vocals samples is also welcome, and thankfully, you didn't overdo it, either. I think some of he instruments could be better, some of them sound a bit too cheezy for my taste. But overall I think this will be enjoyed by people on a dance floor. 😀 |

Ghosts 'n Goblins (RockMetal Cover) - arranged by Vaggelis PapadopoulosReview by redhot, 29/06/2022 Yeah ok this deserves a full review. Ghost'n Goblins is probably one of the most recurring song coming from the past to my mind. I really lost hours trying to beat the game and, of course, there was no save progress on the C64, so I listen to the title track an insane amount of times. I really liked the atmosphere created by the SID and since the firsts I listen to every remix of the track. I found them really good but they lacked that atmosphere. Vaggelis remix is instead enhancing that. The first time I listen the it I felt the urgency to turn my old friend on, load the game and try, once again, to beat it. I consider this an outstanding success. So the technical part. Opening is theatrical and it immediately draw a line to the rest of the track. Instruments and parts are really cured except maybe for a little drop at 1:25 (I'm still asking me if I like it or not), then the rhythm takes off to the epic level of guitar at 2:10. The track won't leave you rest, with chorus additions and increasing climax, until the last part that is a complete surprise. LaLa says that it remembers Greek , but I feel it as balkans (better Romanian): the perfect place for Ghosts and Goblins. |

sanXXIIon (Sanxion Loader Thalamusic Remix) - arranged by MMSYSTEMReview by LaLa, 27/06/2022 I think what brings down the score for me in this tune is that this is a Sanxion remix we've head a million times before. Not from you, obviously, but it sounds so similar to many other Sanxion remixes out there (with the exact same arrangement), and it doesn't really bring anything new with it. Technically, it's fairly good, maybe the mixing could've been improved a bit (cut some high frequencies), the instrumentation is fine, too, but… But nothing here blows me away. Good effort, good job - but that's about it. |

Cream Of The Earth - arranged by gibsReview by Tomsk, 25/06/2022 Love the original….love this remix…great work on a true Amiga classic, keeping the original feel whilst enhancing too….nuff said. Superb ! |

Chordian - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by P.G.G., 24/06/2022 Like diving in an ocean of sounds. Best remix in last 12 months I've ever heard. |

Afterburner (Melodic Modal Medieval Morning) - arranged by 0supereg0Review by robinsonb5, 17/06/2022 Wow - this is superb. The high-energy of the original completely re-imagined here, mostly familiar but with some unexpected changes waiting to surprise the unwary listener! |
|
Cybernoid II - arranged by Steve FosterReview by joenemesys, 17/06/2022 The chip fashion samples, the full energetic percussions, the melody that is always her but with a scent of deep saudade: now I'm in battle mode and I can't stay still, I need to moooove! |

Cybernoid II - arranged by Steve FosterReview by LaLa, 13/06/2022 Welcome back! It's always nice to see a remixer come back with a release after a long hiatus. Pretty straightforward arrangement that is fairly faithful to the original. I guess, the main issue I have with this remix is the mixing - it sounds too washed out, and sounds like it was over-filtered. I am unsure how to feel about the arpeggios in the first minute, rather than, say, using chords instead. Sure, the SID arpeggios sound retro, but I could've imagined this part with chords, too. The drums also seem to Overall, a solid arrangement with an underlying mixing issue. |

Wizball opus 4 - arranged by MozolowskiReview by LaLa, 13/06/2022 Another minimalist arrangement that reminds me of Kraftwerk for some reason. (That's because you are old, dude, and you have no other, more modern frame of reference! Ouch.) It's an almost hypnotic, sequence heavy piece - much like the original, to be honest. It's different, it's new, yet, somehow, it's the same. It's mysterious and ambivalent, it's tribal and ambient. I dunno, I like it! |
|
Cybernoid (surf mix) - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by LaLa, 12/06/2022 Surf's up! Spot-on with the Beach Boys style. My only gripe is that the mix sounds overcompressed, especially in the low end. |
