Tusker (Guinness Book Of Long Intros Remix) - arranged by Wobbler

Review by LaLa, 28/01/2020

If I ignore that long flute tutorial intro and the annoying metronome sound, it's a very nice remix. I mean, she has a nice voice, but it just doesn't belong here. I'm guessing you were high on something when you added that intro. 😉 Other than that, I like the atmosphere of the song, it has a soothing quality to it.

My Instinct (Its On Tonights Situation) - arranged by Wobbler

Review by Goblin, 22/01/2020

Thanks Wobbler, this is just great stuff. I love most everything about it, i can come up with some nitpicks (lead instrument a tad too Scooter-ish) but all in all i love it

Paperboy sub 2 - arranged by OJ Oscillation

Review by wobbler, 21/01/2020

Funky and fun. This one definitely deserves a higher rating than a plain lemonish yellowesque faceluring. Only critique (guess I have to leave *some*, no?) would be the somewhat high frequencies in the lead that are rolling around.

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHash

Review by wobbler, 21/01/2020

I do like the added drum sequences & lead + the occational glitch effects plus high frequency ending, and I do kinda like the overall work… … but: too much sidechaining (like Lala said) and the bass drum + snare sound too harsh and takes over what I want to hear (if that makes any sense?)

Defender of the crown (The Elf's Story) - arranged by Peter Clarke

Review by Grigul, 19/01/2020

As I heared the few seconds a the title music of DotC, I instantly had some scenes of this great Game in my mind. I also remembered that I never succeeded to raid a castle… oh, memories, welcome to 2019. Wonderful track.

Disgrace (Dreamers Remix) - arranged by Lea

Review by bitninja, 18/01/2020

Lovely tune! Great choice of chords and sounds, beautiful singing 😊 All I could wish for would be a little less autotune and a few more surprices. Great work!!

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHash

Review by LaLa, 10/01/2020

This is a good remix, but I think you've set the bar higher for yourself with your previous remixes. In short, I think you can do better.

I am especially bothered by two things here: the arpeggios (yeah, I know they're in the original, too, but somehow they stick out like a sore thumb to me), and the strong, pumping sidechaining on the bass frequencies.

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHash

Review by Markus Gecko, 09/01/2020

I think I can see where you're trying to take this with a Justice, Carpenter Brut style, but just needs that extra bit of attitude and rawness if that was what you were after?

Dynamic Range (Perhaps Not In Range After All) - arranged by Wobbler

Review by Goblin, 03/01/2020

Great dance track with lots of oomph. Well thought out instrumentation. No nitpicks. If you're into F. A. M. E, would *love* a remix of my all-time favourite track of theirs, My Instinct. 😊

Amazing Fireworks - arranged by gibs

Review by nous, 13/12/2019

I still remember the day I first heard this tune. I let it play over and over and over, and I regretted I had just a mono-1084 instead of a 1081 or 1084-S.

Turrican 2 - The Great Bath - Orchestral - arranged by Greg Eaton

Review by kjetiln, 04/12/2019

Excellent arrangement! Love it! Execution wise it could be a little better, as it sounds a little dry. We can also hear it is not played by a real orchestra, although it is obvious that it is pretending to be. Plus for great arrangement, and minus for not sounding as great as it could be. I can only hope and believe that the arranger will improve and I can't wait to hear what will come from him in the future!

The Settlers - Main Theme - arranged by Space Infaders

Review by kjetiln, 01/12/2019

Really good attempt at doing an authentic remix, which when coming to the Settlers soundtrack, is a really ambitious task! Overall this doesn't come out as a huge improvement compared to the original. Some instruments sounds too simple and sharp, and it could just as well have been the game's soundtrack, which is not bad, but a remix should add something. Some parts are very nice and improve upon the original.

I always liked the original, but this remix is a powerful and well arranged homage to its original.

Review by pszgabor, 24/11/2019

I don't agree with the most reviews on this tune, it is well underrated. Not the best I've ever heard, but it is well deservedly placed in the best 10%, at least on my list.

Dominator (Welcome to Korriban mix) - arranged by Ewen Gillies

Review by LaLa, 23/11/2019

First of all: welcome! It's always good to hear material here from new folks! Having said that, this remix needs more love. The drums have a weird phaser/eq effect on them that makes them sound like they're in a metal shed. The arrangement overall has a good direction, and the instrumentation is quite unique. But somehow none of these seem to gel together into an good quality piece.

Space Control Remixperience (Live Theremin Mix) - arranged by Martinland

Review by LaLa, 23/11/2019

First off: I'm in awe of your Theremin skills! From what I know, it's a very hard instrument to master as there are zero reference points for the chromatic scale on it - because it's all in the air, literally. So, I bow my head to you for the Theremin parts of this remix.

But the rest of the remix sounds rushed and unimaginative - it's essentially the original SID tune sampled and looped. If you replaced that with just a simple chord progression and nothing else, I think that would've accentuated the Theremin track, too.

TL;DR: Theremin = awesome. Looped SID sample as a bed = meh.

Review by LaLa, 09/11/2019

Wow, the number of times I must've heard this tune in demos and crakctros!… … I can't believe it hasn't been remixed before. You're right, Wobbler: I think there's more potential in this tune. Your remix is pretty good by itself, though, and cheers for keeping the whistle intact towards the end.

LN2 - The Mansion ACE II (Stealth intAIRsection) - arranged by SIDNIFY

Review by LaLa, 04/11/2019

Unfortunately, I can only go as high as a red smilie with my vote, otherwise I would go higher. Flaming hot red smilie, anyone?… … Let's see: serene intro complete with gentle piano? Check. Skull-shattering electric guitar? Check. SID arpeggios? Check. Ace 2, one of Hubbard's best tunes? Check. Tune from LN2, one of Matt Gray's best ones? Check. Impeccable arrangement and mix? Check. Me voting red on this remix? Check, check, CHECK! Well-deserved winner of the first ever BIT Live remix compo! PS: If you vote anything less than red smilie on this one, please, explain yourself in a shout…

Chronicles - arranged by Jogeir Liljedahl

Review by LaLa, 03/11/2019

I normally don't comment on remixes where I'm not familiar with the original SID, but I just had to make an exception for this one. Whenever I listen to this remix (and I've done that several times already), I have an overwhelming sense of nostalgia: I can't help but think of this as an Amiga MOD - times a thousand! This arrangement oozes chiptune style, even though it's not really a chiptune. But it FEELS like one! A fantastic scene production! If you are not familiar with it, I also urge you to go and listen to the Dane's original SID, because that's pretty good, too.
