Rolands Ratrace (80s Disco Remix) - arranged by Rat District

Review by LaLa, 30/03/2018

Strap yourself in for a 2+ minute intro before you hear a single note of Roland's Ratrace, but it's all in glorious synthwave style, which is all the rage today, and since I'm a sucker for those (with all their 80s nostalgic syrupiness), this put a big smile on my face.

Gyroscope - arranged by Gabriele Tripoli

Review by LaLa, 23/03/2018

First off, I think the title of this remix should be corrected: this is a remix of Jeroen Tel's Eliminator subtune #2. Yes, that one is based on Gyroscope, too, but it continues the melody line - which this remix does, too, and in the same way.

As for the contents of this remix, the kick drum is way overpowering. Compress it or at least soften it in the mix. The choice of instruments is also extreme: lots of high-end, lots of low-end, almost nothing in the middle.

Also, there's no ending - the tune just stops abruptly.

The Last Ninja - The Palace (In Game) - arranged by SHEN LON

Review by Chris Abbott, 22/03/2018

Not a huge fan of the brick-wall-compressed sound here, but I guess that's more personal taste. This remix does a lot right: the tune is right, and it has spirit and atmosphere. Starts off owing a bit to Instant Remedy's version of the same tune, but then goes of on its own journey.

I liked it. Always good to hear different takes on tunes. Obviously it's not a banging synth so some won't like it - but no one likes everything 😊

Spellbound - arranged by Mano

Review by LaLa, 03/03/2018

Very original for a Spellbound remix! Its style is a mashup between flamenco, Caribbean pirate, and a bit of Mexican mariachi, but in high-quality and in good taste. Really, really good job, Mano!

International Karate Part I (Synthwave Remix) - arranged by Strange Days

Review by LaLa, 16/02/2018

It's a nice retrofuturustic treatment of Hubbard's track.

The mix heavily favors the high-end throughout, which bothers me a bit. The arrangement really gets going after the full set of drums come in at 1:53, that got my hopes up high. However, the chords at 2:46 sound odd to me, both in texture and pitch, and they broke the illusion a bit.

The entire track reminds me a lot of Tangerine Dream's albums from the 80s, which I think is the style Strange Days was actually going for. Nicely done!

Review by Commoflage, 24/01/2018

I loved this, the opening synth sound was sharp and nice, and when the beats came in… that made my day! A new style for this old classic, something I didn't think I'd hear. I'll definitely return to this one many times!

Auf Wiedersehen Monty & Commando - arranged by Jeroen Tel

Review by bgmnt, 14/01/2018

Erm… Dunno exactly what this is and the beats on the first part are pretty monotone like in a medley and I was not aware of the name JT until today I must confess and I only knew these two tracks/remixed separately, so i was not sure about this. But: This mixing is so straightforwarded and dynamic and propelling and mixed flawlessly - and at least hyped by the community… It catches you, at least, even in the last minute 😊

And since it has the perfect length for DJs, who need a long piece of sound for going to the restrooms without relying on automix… thumbs up! 😃

Mission of Mercy (Film Score) - arranged by Peter Clarke

Review by LaLa, 10/01/2018

It's always a treat to listen to a SID composer's own remake of his old tune - and this one goes way beyond being just a treat!

Even without your cue-list, the music here clearly tells a whole story, and it is, indeed, very cinematic - from the melancholic intro through the quiet but nervous anticipation in the middle to the cheerful ending.

The introduction of the harpsichord (or dulcimer?) at 1:21 is an unusual and rather unique touch. I quite like it!

This is a memorable arrangement for sure. Its only fault is the sudden ending - sounds like there was more to come, but it was faded out…

Project Firestart - arranged by Colmarr

Review by Grigul, 03/11/2017

Ok, that is hard for me to rate. First: is this music? Well, not for me. Maybe for others (at least one has given the red button, so there must be at least one who finds it awesome - but I have no idea why…), but for me it's a sample of noise. Sorry, Colmarr, but I have the feeling I have to be totally drunk or stoned to understand that track. If so, I screwed up - I never drink alcohol or took drugs.
Second: this should be a remix, just because it's submitted to remix64. Where's the original? Maybe someone can give it to me so I can compare the original to this remix. Sorry, so far it's just average to me.
