Review by MicMod, 13/02/2018

Very creative transition of the original tune. Great mixing and perfect selection of instruments. A classic done right. Thumbs up.

Red Sector Theme - arranged by Cirdan

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

So sad that I've missed this tune for so many years! Some great sound in this remix, good mixing, and a terrific vibe, though it loses some of its oomph around 3:35. Outro still manages to be decent. I'm torn in my verdict, in it being true to its original, it doesn't go full techno, but if it did it would have been an absolute beast that would go straight onto my all-time list of favorites. I also suspect that some of the demoscene groups (Farbrausch for one) have found inspiration in this tune in the prods of the late 00's.

Silk Worm Amiga Attempts - arranged by Snmalone

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

This is a medley of different attempts at remixing the awesome old Silkworm tune and not a single track by itself. The individual subtunes are interesting with clear overall sound and show artistic skill and ability to experiment. Malone never fleshed these out into actual tunes of their own thus we never get beyond this disjointed mix which is quite sad! Some great potential for remixes here!

Plus, it's baffling to me that there are no other SIlkworm remixes to be found here on this site. How is this even possible?!?

Turrican 2 Desert Rocks metal remake - arranged by Aki Järvinen

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

Aki remade this remix two years before from the submittion date of of its v1.1 and while this remix is a bit less experimentative than its successor, it has a more consistent beat and vibe and simply comes off better. Nice tune.

Turrican II - Desert Rocks (metal version 1.1) - arranged by Aki Järvinen

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

An odd and daring approach to on good 'ol DR. Interesting choice of instruments but while the body has massive potential with its electro-rock vibe, the instruments get terribly muddled and spoils the core of the tune in part due to the mixing which remains a problem in the latter half. Fix the that and you'd have half the work done towards what might have been a truly kick-ass track!

Turrican 2 - The Desert Rocks (EXON Remake) - arranged by EXON

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

Simple but good electro -style remix of DR. Slightly weak intro but good body with a decent beat and a choice of instruments that delivers a faithful recreation with oomph added.

The Desert Rocks (Turrican 2, Level 1) - arranged by RealNC

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

A simple remix production of the good 'ol DR. Barely any deviation at all from the original which in itself is not a problem but with this specific choice of instruments some of which are muddled and even blurry in their appearance it doesn't come off well and with the somewhat abrupt outro spoils the overall impression of the tune.

Turrican II - The Desert Rocks (Trance-Dance Remix) - arranged by Isacco Garcia Peveri

Review by neglesaks, 10/02/2018

A Desert Rocks remake which is artistically inspired and faithful to the original, but technically flawed. Some transitions could be done better and are jarring to the ear. The composer attempts melding techno and a trancey- beat together but seems to lose track of what style he should be sticking to as the tune progresses and the 'vibe' ends up a bit confused. Some alterations would make a significant difference.

Fist II - The Legend Continues - arranged by Imbehiiri (PsyMi)

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!

Super Cars 2 - arranged by Espen Gätzschmann / TiLT

Review by neglesaks, 17/01/2018

This remix is The definitive one to go by of the ones available on AMIGAremix/Remix64. The instruments are very well chosen, the tune and beat is essentially unchanged from the original but while this isn't a factor that would ordinarily speak in favor of the composition, it works remarkably well for the new choice of instruments, and the outro properly nails it for this beutiful recreation. Well done, Espen! (I really thought I had already reviewed this but to my embarassment it seems I never left even a comment until now.)

Super Cars II - Intro(2007RMX) - arranged by XxDUSTYxX

Review by neglesaks, 17/01/2018

This might have been a fresh trancey take on SC2 theme but is unfortunately let down by that the electro-style instruments lacks definition to my ear and is closer to a buzzing noise than an actual instrument, plus that they are simply overpowering the rest of the soundstage. The outro is odd and hollow.

Super Cars 2 - arranged by teippi

Review by neglesaks, 17/01/2018

A good and faithful remake on the original. The original tempo and drumtracks are preserved, with some tweaks to the instruments used during intro and outro. Compared to other remixes or the original for that matter it does have a bit less bass-audio dominant but it's fine with a bit of easy listening.

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…

The Great Bath (of the Seven Seas) - arranged by Mordi

Review by L0rd3vyL, 10/01/2018

Hands down my favorite Mordi tune (which is saying a lot since I love a great deal of his work). I love everything about this arrangement. Sounds like an old sea shanty, which is fine since I grew up in the Maritimes in Canada. Top notch.
