Enlightenment Druid II - arranged by Puffy64Review by Nightmare23, 17/01/2015 Puffy64 is back and as usual wih some serious shit. As Zoidberg already said: Moar… Moooaaaarrrr… |

Enlightenment Druid II - arranged by Puffy64Review by LaLa, 16/01/2015 After a 12 year hiatus, Puffy64 and his guitars are BAAAACK!This is a great hard rock rendition of Druid II. My favorite part is the break (e. g. between 1:18-1:27) that is just spot on. There is a good balance in the arrangement and the mix - I just really like listening to it over and over again. Welcome back, Puffy64! |

Pool Party (FN mix) - arranged by XenoxReview by DJB, 26/11/2014 Unfortunately I can't really give this much credit points. Anyone can use SID2MIDI, but the important thing is (and is what is most noticeable) is when the arranger doesn't double-check the original SID to ensure that all the notes are correct. The program is a really good way to capture the notes, but it doesn't handle slides / glides at all, hence if a song uses them and the notes ain't corrected, it can ruin your cover. |

Enlightenment - Druid II - arranged by Markus SchneiderReview by speedy, 13/11/2014 Ok, this is a first class orchestral hollywood stuff like Hans Zimmer and Co are doing. If you like orchestral stuff, you will love this remix! Every part flows well into each other. needless to say you want more with every single second. It reminds me to the Pirates Soundtrack which is orchestral rock. Give us more! |

Maniac Mansion (Clubmix) - arranged by PutziReview by Cubud, 07/10/2014 This remix is so good! I love the rough bass instrument, I love the insertion of real sound-effects from Super Mario Land on the GameBoy. Very enjoyable! |

Ultima V - Greyson's tale - arranged by PirxReview by mixer, 30/09/2014 This is an orchestral version of the Ultima V track by Kenneth Arnold. I've always enjoyed Ultima soundtracks, many of the tunes are hammered into my brain after so many hours with the game.That being said, this remix is not up to the standards I'd like to hear. Firstly, it sounds like it is a direct midi convert of the original. Such remix can be done in minutes, there is no effort put on it. There is no new creative arrangement and the instruments sound very sampleish and artificial. This can be forgiven as access to decent orchestral instrument sets or real orchestra is often not possible for hobbyists. Some dynamics and making it to appear like it is played for real would make a huge difference. So, as a plain convert I vote this to be average. It is not bad, as the arranger has not done anything to ruin the original composition, but has not improved on it either. Easy listening only. |

Aztec Challenge Evolution - arranged by Lello CaliendoReview by Joshua1972, 29/09/2014 I adore this website, it's possible to feel always fashionable news. Special today surprise is a rocked aztec, i love it so much! |

Aztec Challenge Evolution - arranged by Lello CaliendoReview by Karamija, 27/09/2014 Aztec atmosphere blend perfectly with this type of arrangement. The guitars are beutiful and solo is scary!!beautiful also the sounds used, clean and incisive. |

Aztec Challenge Evolution - arranged by Lello CaliendoReview by Arabelle74, 26/09/2014 Well-balanced sound, excellent creativity and fantastic guitars. Chorus is very charming, and the rock section with metal guitars is exciting. |

Synth Sample 1 - arranged by PirxReview by Wacky Amoebatron, 25/08/2014 This Track seems to be a 1:1 MIDI-Rip of Jogeir Liljedahl's Version of the Stationary Ark Soundtrack. Too similar, too recognizable, too much the same instrumentation. Too cheap to be true. Sorry, laddy! |

R-Type - arranged by MutenessReview by Rohyp Nose, 31/07/2014 Great production, funky sounding! Nice homage in clubbish wrapping! I hate to dance, but my fingers kept tapping the table franticly 😊 |

Last Ninja 3 (Horizon mix) - arranged by MythologyReview by LaLa, 12/06/2014 First off, I don't know what this tune has to do with TMR, it's clearly a Last Ninja 3 subtune #10 remix. TMR's SID remix of it is not even the same subtune (that's #6)… Anyhoo… Love the guitar work, really deep, great riffs, well mixed. The drum pattern is too simple, though, that needs work. I like the light break in the middle, but overall I have mixed feelings about the arrangement, it sounds a bit confusing. All in all, pretty good job, hope there's more to come! |

Last V8 (short version) - arranged by FTCReview by Xenix, 05/05/2014 Nice tune, good nostalgical value. But please fix the bass loop (did you use one long sample for that?) as it's just out of sync with the beats. |
|
Moon Patrol - arranged by dor-xReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 Yeah… it's just a blues in fact. Well done, although it keeps being a bit slow-motion. I hoped you included the sound effect that the car made when eh… a new level was reached (the whoop sound 😊). |
|
Project 11 (An Angels Love) - arranged by HazelReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 How the hell did you invent this 5/4th funky beat! Well invented. Took me a while to notice it even. |
|
Battle Valley (Dream Team) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 Excellent choice on intro! Just wonder if you got the first notes of the Battle Valley tune starting correctly? It should start off-beat in my memory. |
|
Last Ninja 2 - The mansion - arranged by Alias MedronReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 Nice but predictable. please check on the beat loop, you're just a few bytes off which gives a clipping |

Stormlord (String Orchestra Cover) - arranged by John NovakReview by LaLa, 25/03/2014 This is a very admirable effort, I quite like its emotional bend, and how this piece intentionally lives within its self-imposed limits.What I miss is more dynamicity: I don't feel much difference between the sections that were probably intended to be forte and the softer sections. For example, towards the end at around 4:32 I think it should get louder, more forceful in a crescendo fashion to finish it off with a bang. Also, this sounds more like a chamber string quartet than a larger string orchestra to me, but now I am really nitpicking. 😊 Great piece of music, thanks for sharing! |

Platoon (Inexperti belli) - arranged by SlaygonReview by khisanth, 20/01/2014 LOVING this!!! Industrial sounding awesomeness, that was superb in the preview and is even better now. Good work mate |

Lightforce (Massive Analogue Mix) - arranged by dEViLOCkReview by Ursina, 30/12/2013 Master of the tunes! Can hear his music all day long. So chilly, easy and it always pick you up and takes you with it. This is realy outsranding! Theres no better one to win this title! |
|
JT In Space (Twolegs Remix) - arranged by MetalReview by balloonhead, 10/12/2013 I listened to this song about 100 Times or even more. Running through my daily playlists every time JT in Space comes up my face takes a smiling position. This track has all that is needed to make a listener happy. Sounds with a nostalgic flare and a modern rhythm with a bodytouching beat. I think you cannot listen to often to this track. |

Great Giana Sisters - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by Ryrynz, 03/11/2013 Obviously one of the best remixes of this tune ever. No wonder it was used in the Giana Sisters:Twisted Dreams game. |

Krakout - arranged by SIDrip AllianceReview by BenDaglish, 29/09/2013 Actually - my technical review is pretty much the same as LaLa's - the actual recorded sound itself could be better, and I'd like to hear more bass maybe, but the arrangement, and playing itself is marvellous. What's nice is that you can tell it's a *live* piece - personally, I'd love to see that performed. In fact, if you chaps ever fancied getting together for a gig… 😊 |

Wizardry (Are you ready) - arranged by druuReview by Alcoholocauster, 20/09/2013 Werke der Opernliteratur offenbaren das Innerste ihres Charakters am besten dann, wenn man sie des Mantels repräsentativer Hochkultur völlig entkleidet, wenn man den ganzen angeblich nötigen Apparat zu ihrer Aufführung samt symphonisch besetztem Orchester, schwerem Samtvorhang, Pausensekt und Programmheft weglässt. |

International Karate - arranged by Rune-Bertil'sReview by LaLa, 17/08/2013 Well, first of all, I really admire that you've tackled the entire IK tune, not just a part of it. I also really admire the unbelievable effort that must've been put into this remix, it's obviously a work of love, a work of art. It's a great production with lots of wonderful details.Having said that, like others, I also think this is not a perfect marriage of source material and style. Maybe it's my existing knowledge about prior IK remixes that gets in the way here, maybe it's the perceived awkwardness of the way the melody is fit onto a swing beat - dunno, but somehow it just doesn't gel together in my brain. Does it make my legs move? Yes. Does it bring a smile on my face? Yes. Maybe I should just be content with that. 😊 |

Ghost'n Goblins (Cathedral Mix) - arranged by Isacco Garcia PeveriReview by Dethme0w, 28/07/2013 I listened to this about 4 times in a row after downloading it. Put on headphones, close your eyes, and you almost think you're in a vast, cavernous cathedral - except they're playing Ghosts & Goblins! All I can say to Isacco Garcia Peveri is: More please! Note: I have revised my Technical Merit rating down one because I am in agreement with another reviewer that proper organ music does not fade out - it either ends with an eruption of fireworks and awesomeness that leaves you breathless and mindblown (and half-deaf), or walks you and your bleeding heart down a convoluted path of melancholy that leaves you in tears on the final note, which is still as loud and clear as the first. But never fade it out like a cheap early 80's pop single. Other than that, this remix is made of awesome. More please! (Hint: Galway) |

R-Type (Doppelganger Summer Remix) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by NecroPolo, 27/07/2013 Time is passing, nice remixes come and go but this one remained 'THE' R-Type remix to me during the years. There are many flavours around but this one still has the best vibe to me. Besides the big picture, it also does so many little things perfectly that makes this track something like a nice rich summer cocktail with an awesome, timeless aftertaste.Cheers! |

1942 (Orchestral) - arranged by Miguel F EttemaReview by Ryrynz, 19/07/2013 I think this is quite possibly the best remix ever done. Everything is pretty much perfect. Takes the original and makes is golden. I don't know how some of you guys only rate this as good for minor things, I've seen good remixes sound nowhere near what this manages to pull off. Good for not being perfect? C'mon! |

Ghost'n Goblins (Cathedral Mix) - arranged by Isacco Garcia PeveriReview by LaLa, 04/07/2013 I'm always glad when a pipe organ remix shows up on RKO because I like organ music, which is why I am probably more picky about it. I see a few issues with this interpretation: 1) It needs a more throaty pipe organ sound. The one you used sounds a bit whiney. 2) The arrangement could be a bit more complex, I'd love to hear this more in the style of Bach. 3) Fadeout with a pipe organ tune? Not a good choice at all. It needs a big, window-rattling crescendo ending! |

Supremacy - arranged by druuReview by Jeroentel, 30/05/2013 This is clearly a very good remix of one of my tunes. The dubstep style is really pleasing to the ears. I only wish that all the original melody notes would have been considered. Right now it's an interpretation, but it still does a lot of justice to the original tune. Way to go druu! 😊 Keep 'm coming. |
