Ocean Loader 4 (Beneath the Current) - arranged by Octupus Tea offline

Review by LaLa, 26/10/2021

Welcome to the Commodore remix community! A nice, minimalist arrangement which would be fitting as the soundtrack to a kids toy. Nice touch with the waves sample (ocean loader - I get it 😉). The mix sounds too dry, I think adding some reverb would've helped create a better aquatic atmosphere. But not bad for a first remix, not bad at all!

Lightforce (2021 Edit) - arranged by Dr Future

Review by LaLa, 24/10/2021

I have no idea how you manage to get your mixes sound so crisp and clear, but doesn't matter on what system I listen to this one, it just punches through speakers and headphones no problem. Anyway, I gave your previous version an orange 2 years ago, and this one definitely earns the red one. More guitars, less reverb/echo on the lead, and just an improved sound overall. I wish the guitar lead was more nuanced at places (like at 4:36 maybe should've used mutes instead), but that's just a minor gripe. I really like it!

Lightforce - arranged by Tim Forsyth

Review by LaLa, 19/10/2021

Tim is proving himself to be quite the remix meister, and here's another proof of that. A surprising, but very creative intro followed by a more upbeat straight remix of Lighforce, and it concludes with a much darker outro. As usual with Tim's remixes, the mixing is top-notch and it all just sounds very satisfying to my ears. PS: Prior to release [https://www.remix64.com/board/viewtopic. php? f=1&t=11773 Tim put up just the intro part of his remix in the R64 forum for people to guess] which tune's remix it is. I don't think anybody got it right, including me. That was a fun little game. 😉

Gaplus - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review by LaLa, 05/10/2021

As happy as I am to finally hear a remix of this almost-forgotten Jeroen Tel tune, this one leaves me a bit unsatisfied. The simplistic arrangement is obviously intentional, but it feels to me there's a real remix waiting to burst out of it - but it never does. Too bad, because it really has all the elements that would make it great - we just don't hear them all together at the same time. The whistling towards the end was a pleasant surprise, even if it's a bit out of tune here and there, but that just makes it sound more real. 😉

Last Ninja Remix - The Sewers Intro (2021 Remix) - arranged by Fabio Marinelli

Review by LaLa, 29/09/2021

This remix creates a really nice atmosphere right out of the gate. It's a nice mixture of gentle mystery and a subtle, creepy background. But… just when I am about to get into it, it ends. More, please!

Lightforce - arranged by Skaven252

Review by LaLa, 17/09/2021

Wow, quite an honor to see Skaven's name pop up here - a legend all by himself! It's actually kinda funny to see the moniker Newcomer next to his name (at the time of this writing) - which he most definitely isn't. 😁 He has graced us with his first ever SID remix submission - and what a remix it is! A hybrid symphonic-electronic cinematic style tour-de-force. It's 6+ minutes long, but there's not a single boring moment in it. My favorite is probably the super-raspy brass from 2:23 - holy moly, that just cuts straight through to my bones! An absolutely jaw-dropping production, just top-notch. Love it. 👍👍👍 Welcome, Skaven, and I hope you'll take the time to create more SID/Amiga remixes in the future, too!

Supremacy (Cobalt8 Mix) - arranged by Ramjet

Review by LaLa, 11/09/2021

Welcome to the remix community, Ramjet! 🙋‍♂️A fairly straightforward cover of the classic SID, closely following the original's arrangement. So, nothing to complain about there. What's missing here is some sophistication in the instrumentation. I don't know if that was deliberate, but they all sound fairly flat with little movement, other than some reverb that got sprinkled around. I'd say pretty good for a newbie, so keep at it!

Terra Cresta - arranged by Tim Forsyth

Review by LaLa, 27/08/2021

Tim must have a built-in awesomizer. Somehow he was able to take an iconic Galway tune and make it even better. We don't even get to hear the iconic lead until 3 minutes into the tune, but it's not like it's all boring up to that point, on the contrary. And that lead: why mess with perfection, just use the SID as-is! And then he goes into his now-signature improv section that always elevates his remixes to new heights, and it's no exception here. I'm absolutely blown away by this remix!

Black Lamp - arranged by Slaygon

Review by LaLa, 22/08/2021

While sonically perfect, it feels like this remix is trying to compress about 10 minutes worth of musical material into 3.5 minutes of a whirlwind. I get it, that was the time limit of the Árok compo, but it makes the arrangement feel a bit too mishmashy to me.

Ocean Loader - Modern Metal Mix - arranged by Underphil

Review by LaLa, 17/08/2021

Overall, not bad, good use of the double guitars hard-panned left and right, but let me point out a couple of issues with this remix:

1. The intro (and the outro) is nice, but the licks really have nothing to do with the rest of the track, so they are a strange bookend.

2. The guitar lead starting at 2:01 (and @3:25) sounds extremely flat, void of any articulation.

Review by Frida Katarina, 14/08/2021

One of my favourites. It builds up a bit slow and the end part seems a little bit dull, but that's only because the middle part is so powerful. Once it kicks off, it flies sky high. I really like the choice of instrument on the lead there, and the right amount of reverb fits it just perfectly. And the promising fanfare subtly bubbling up in the background, and the little twist at the end of the flourish. Well done. Thank you.

The mix is all over the place, the rhythm guitars are especially muddy. Got some nice ideas in there, but I think this track should've spent more time in the mixing department for polishing.
