Barbarian The king - arranged by Tollis offlineReview by xazzo, 05/05/2025 Cheap very grainy AI vocals and you can't even hear the lyrics because of the autotune shite!This kind of AI assisted garbage is almost just as bad as fully AI generated nonmusic and the use of fake vocals makes me wonder what other AI generated crap this person might be incorporating into their music. No. Just no. |

Burning Mist (Hades Nebula+Thanatos, Fusion Remix) - arranged by VandahliaReview by LaLa, 05/05/2025 Great idea for pairing these two for a fusion remix! And it's arranged very well, I like the seamless flow of this remix. Unfortunately, the instrumentation sounds rather unsophisticated. The guitar sounds especially flat and soulless. It's a shame, really. |

Thing on a Spring (dance remix) - arranged by choscReview by djdaemon, 04/05/2025 A bit long and takes a while to become the tune we a love (Rob Hubbard). |

Barbarian The king - arranged by Tollis offlineReview by LaLa, 28/04/2025 Starts out very promising, very grandiose. Unfortunately, when the choir first comes in there's a very sharp drop in the volume levels for all the other instruments and the choir is a bit washed out, too, making it hard to understand. Some more attention to mixing would've been welcome here. Personally, I don't actually have a problem with the AI choir - after all, other remixers also use, for example, sampled orchestral sounds, since not every can afford to hire the London Symphonic Orchestra… I am much more disappointed by how little of Barbarian I hear in this remix. It's a fantastic, epic soundtrack and so little of it is present here. The AI lead singer, though, sounds really weird. Not very clear, maybe due to too much post-processing, or the AI generator just wasn't very good to begin with - I don't know, but it's definitely on the wrong side of the And then the tune just cuts off suddenly at the end - next time, let the reverbs all die out before you end your recording. All in all, I do admire the effort you put into this, but again, I wish it contained more Barbarian. |

Bombo (Bombossimo mix) - arranged by 7anReview by grin, 17/04/2025 This is one of my favouritest chill remix around. I am usually sensitive when the remix differs any little way from the original, but in this case… worths the difference! |

Zoom (2025 live) - arranged by NecroPoloReview by LaLa, 14/04/2025 Loved the Hypercharger version when you published that 7 years ago (where did the time go?…), love this one even more. Somehow it's both more raw and more refined at the same time. No clue how you do it, but it's fantastic! |

Wings of Fury - arranged by Tollis offlineReview by LaLa, 14/04/2025 Shows a lot of promise. Seems to try to imitate the 'fighting hero' style Hollywood orchestral score, and while it suceeds in some aspects, it's not quite there, yet. Also: the MP3 download cuts off abruptly at 2:53, while the video continues for another 40 seconds. |

Gordian Tomb - arranged by Tollis offlineReview by LaLa, 12/04/2025 Welcome to the remix community! This is a promising arrangement, although several of the orchestral instruments sound somewhat flat to me (esp the woodwinds). The percussion sounds powerful, though, and you made great use of it. Also, in the MP3 file it cuts off the tail end of the last reverbs - next time let them all ring out before ending the recording. All in all, not bad! |

Batman (Long) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 06/04/2025 Definitely one of the best remixes in the last couple of months. It's all harmoniously well done. The only thing missing is a female opera vocal. My 2 cents. It's a good rhythm. |

Battle Ships (Russian Ed) - arranged by ManoReview by c64persian, 31/03/2025 This song is so memorable and beautiful to me that I have included the original as the entrance to the siteThis remix is also very beautiful and memorable Thanks to the creator http://www.c64persian.66ghz.com/error.htm |

International Karate - arranged by Rune-Bertil'sReview by Yahtzee, 29/03/2025 This interpretation is so much fun! Bringing in the original sounds at times to complement the swing instruments is genius. |
|
Yie Ar Kung-fu II Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by LaLa, 22/03/2025 I quite enjoy this! With these reverberated drums it sounds like an 1980s pop ballad, the only thing missing is a vocal with some sappy lyrics. 😁And that arpeggiated sound coming in at 2:10 - perfecto👌! |

Heaven - arranged by protonReview by LaLa, 09/03/2025 Flat and lifeless instruments: where are the signature slides from the original? How about some variations to make this feel less robotic? The arrangement is also boring - just repeating the exact same patterns a few times does not make for interesting listening. On top of it the entire remix is too low on volume. This classic SID deserves a lot better. |

Hi Fi Sky - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 04/03/2025 I've been a big fan of Hi Fi Sky, both as a piece of music, but especially after I learned about the technical wizardry that created it. Here you've captured the atmosphere and spirit of the original so well, and you even managed to embellish it (those lush reverbs: my gosh, so wonderful!). I just can't stop listening to it. Really well done! |

PCW-Tune 88 - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by Eivind Sommersten, 28/02/2025 What a suprising choice of original and genre from the grand old master, and happily so!The mix contains lovely SID-sounds and this is a great production overall. It just builds and builds upon the original and is an excellent example of how a relatively simple and short (and awesome) SID-classic can be expanded into a dynamic story, in the end being an addition to the original as well as of course a huge homage to both composition and composer (RIP). Love the break after about two minutes, what a signature - no problem picking out the artist/remixer in a lineup there! 😊 By the way I also like the audio quality and mastering, I think you've done a good job overall! I don't want to disregard DMC (https://remix64.com/track/dmc/pcw-tune-88-tribute-to-edwin/) who also made a great version of this SID but I feel this is now the truly modern variant of it! |

Aspar Grand Prix (Highscore) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 19/02/2025 Beautiful arrangement, really well done. I really like the emotional arc from the soft piano to the full orchestra.The reason it's not a red smilie from me is that the string section does not sound articulated well, especially during the climax (2:36 and on). I hear no legato whatsoever, the repeated notes of the same pitch blend together completely - it all sounds a bit artificial, breaking the illusion that was built up by all the other, relatively well shaped and emotionally charged instruments. |

Soulless - arranged by K8-bitReview by PhunkyData, 08/02/2025 Just came across your stuff on Slayradio with their latest show.Love it! Brilliant arrangement. Here is the last bits we need to fill to reach 64k (and are allowed to place this review)Oh my.! |

Beroot Olejuuri - arranged by Dr FutureReview by LaLa, 02/02/2025 I was really vacillating between red and orange smilie for this one. Ultimately, I went with orange. I just feel like some of the funkiness of the original is a bit lost here for some reason. Otherwise, it's technically an excellent production (must be if it's from Dr Future, right?), it's just missing that extra spicing that made the original memorable. And yeah, I agree with kwed: that fadeout came too abrupt, and it feels too fast. |

Scratching Zwaantjes Returns - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 31/01/2025 There's just something about this remix that really appeals to me. Maybe it's those SID toms (in 20CC's signature style), maybe it's that strong hitting, subwoofer shattering bass line that kicks in at 0:56, maybe it's those occasional sax licks, maybe it's the staccato line at 1:49 that seems straight out of Vangelis' Dervish D - it's all one great package! |

Funk (embellished) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by PhunkyData, 23/01/2025 What a funky remix. brilliantly done and outstanding executed.!Love it….herm…15 more words… i guess we made it by now.! |

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by C64_Gamer, 20/01/2025 This is a really great interpretation of Supremacy. As with a lot of Peters remixes you never quite know where he will take you.. The orchestra arrangement here is wonderful in the way it shifts gears while sounding very authentic and I have to agree with others here, the closing watch chimes are pure musical emotion. Super remix Peter. |

Trap in the War of the Simulations (Instrumental) - arranged by 7DD9Review by LaLa, 15/01/2025
(By the way, you could've kept some of the voiceover, say, as an intro… 😉) |

Draconus - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by tim_forsyth, 25/12/2024 I love this tune, especially since spending many hours covering it. I always felt the opening section of Draconus is perfect as a blank canvas for a remix and I think you've done a wonderful job of slowly, carefully telling a story and leading us to a peak that made me feel the way I did about the original SID.Aside from the choirs, staccato violins and epic feel at the end, I love the little nod to the original melody around 2:25. This was a Christmas day treat for me |

Artillery (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by milasoft64, 07/12/2024 I played this today at high volume no less than 10 times while at work. Can't get enough of Jogeir's mixes!! |

Tetris [Mariko's Tale] (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Barry LeitchReview by Waz, 06/12/2024 To take on the whole of this lengthy Wally Beben piece, which was outstanding to begin with, takes some effort. But add to that the expertise shown here and it's an absolute winner. Beautiful choices of instruments and recreation of the likes of the C64's organ sample blend perfectly together, and the Oriental twist with its thunderous drums really underpins the whole thing so well. You simply have to listen to the whole 27 minutes plus to appreciate the love and craft that has gone into this, with surprises at every turn which make you feel uplifted when the next segment beautifully blends in. Outstanding. |

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by Poppykuk, 05/12/2024 I am a fan of Peter's remixes in general. You never get a plain old version of anything his fingers touch. The orchestra in this remix is both detailed and emotional and it takes us on another one of those journeys that is his trademark. Supremacy is one of those tunes which has been remixed a few ways but this lifts it into cinematic territory and adds an epic element. And I have to say, that ending, the gradual wind down of the musical watch chime, I almost had a tear in my eye. Real musical emotion.A different take on Supremacy to all the others out there… Cinematic and Epic.. The orchestra work is superb and the way it comes full circle with the gradually slowing watch chimes to finish is super emotive and really clever. |
