Artillery (demo music) - arranged by MRT

Review by LaLa, 13/06/2017

Wonderfully arranged, skillfully instrumented, and superbly mixed (really clean and straightforward mix!). Sure, the sax could've had some more emotion put into it, but it sounds really good as is. I only wish this remix contained the beautiful main melody of the original even more.

Turbo Outrun (Oh No It's A Trap) - arranged by Wobbler

Review by kwed, 02/06/2017

Brilliant! Relaxed mood. Great instrumentation. Thoroughly enjoyable, wheter you're an Outrun fan or not. Also, Wobblers new batch of remixes (the first in 6 years) serves as a reminder to the C64 remixing community that innovation is still very much possible.

Hard Glide - arranged by BeeZerk

Review by Lclhstr, 09/05/2017

Haha, an awesome relaxed this is how you do it remix. Pretty close to the original, and if I'm not totally mistaken, never remixed before on RKO. Nice insert your favourite retro-remix-radio-station joke there 😊. Kinda have to agree, anything BeeZerk.

Technical/Soundwise, great work. Maybe a few rolling arppeggios from the original could have given it even more of a nostalgia bonus.

Master of Magic - arranged by Anders Hesselbom

Review by GhostEcho, 03/05/2017

First remix that -for me- captures the spirit of the original song. Keep really really close to the original sound, which -to me- is fine.

Supremacy (Overprime mix) - arranged by SIDNIFY

Review by LaLa, 20/04/2017

For me it's impossible to listen to this at anything but full blast. Impeccably arranged, superbly executed. The break at 3:44 is just brilliant.

If there's one tiny fault with this remix is that the choir/singing towards the end is barely audible. Other than that, amazing, amazing stuff!

You guys have more SID remixes lurking on your SoundCloud page, so please, upload those to RKO, too, don't be shy! 😊

Last Mission - arranged by MRT

Review by Snout, 17/04/2017

Nice thumping track throughout, not much I can say really, it's a great rework of an already good tune. It's one that will burrow right into your head and be a solid earworm.

Cybernoid 2 Theme (Spacesynth remix) - arranged by fegolhuzz

Review by Snout, 17/04/2017

There are a lot of (Cybernoid/Thrust/Last Ninja) remixes, most of them great, this one really stood out for me as being a 80s/90s homage. It was like, when the first rush of energy came into the tune, totally 'Power Run' - we've paid for this truckload of synths and by god we're going to use them all in one chord!
Really kicked the tempo up a notch.

Comic Bakery (rockdance mix) - arranged by Johan Andersson

Review by bgmnt, 06/04/2017

Usually i don't like rock remixes or only a few of them - often they sound cheap or too noisy. but this one, like LaLa shouted, is well packed and stuffed with a lot of things without being annoying. it catched me with its special drive and is well produced.

Cybernoid 2 Theme (Spacesynth remix) - arranged by fegolhuzz

Review by LaLa, 31/03/2017

It definitely has all the sonic signatures of a classic 80s-90s italo disco song.

However, I feel like the arrangement never really gets going. For example, after the great build-up of the intro it switches to a quieter sequence at 1:04 - somewhat of a letdown. It builds that one up, but then there's another switch at 2:10, and then yet another at 2:42.

Because of all these breaks the tune doesn't feel as high-energy as I think it should. But don't take me wrong, I still like it a lot. 😉

Overlame - arranged by MRT

Review by LaLa, 21/03/2017

I usually don't comment on tunes that remix SIDs I am not familiar with, but I just had to make an exception in this case. The mix is so buttery smooth, the instrument selection is right on the money, the arrangement is pretty clever (esp. the extended intro)… This entire remix is a finely crafted piece. I admire its beauty, and I appreciate the effort and talent that was poured into it.

Thrust remix - arranged by David Filskov

Review by Uctumi, 19/03/2017

The lead here's got more impact and I think it's a really good decision to keep a c64 lead sound.
The bass could maybe have a more polished sound, it's not completely SID-like nor synth sound, it's half way. Specially when it goes down to the lower notes, you can listen how granular it sounds.
Overally this is a very enjoyable remix, and I will keep it in my favorites collection!!

Battle Ships (U-64 Remix) - arranged by Lagerfeldt

Review by neglesaks, 03/03/2017

This one definately has the Oxygene vibe to it! It's good stuff, soft listening, lower tempo than the original and other remixes. Deemphasizes the original instruments in what turns into a quite fair remix. Whenther or not it is too long is partially a matter of personal taste, but with slow tempo tunes longer durations tend to be necessary to convey the proper feel of the work. Personally I found its duration fine, though the outro needs a bit of work.

Battle Ships - arranged by BonySoft

Review by neglesaks, 03/03/2017

Well done compositions both in regards to this original version, which is more electronic-style, and the amended remix which de-emphasises the electronic sound of the original and is more in the line of 'soft listening'.

Nostalgia factor high since it is very true to the original and the 2nd version also so even though of its differences.

Northstar - arranged by Infamous

Review by Lclhstr, 19/02/2017

Northstar is one of the games that didn't get much love from remixers. Possibly because it's pretty short and doesn't fit the usual let's make it electro-unz. However, it has a good melody and with Infamous' creative take it became accesible to everyone. Good job!
