Cybernoid 2 Theme (Spacesynth remix) - arranged by fegolhuzzReview 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. 😉 |

Phat Frog - arranged by MRTReview by bgmnt, 28/03/2017 … that 808 (or is it 303?) is drilling in my ears and sets free all the endorphines. great one! |

Overlame - arranged by MRTReview 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 FilskovReview 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 LagerfeldtReview 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 BonySoftReview 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 InfamousReview 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! |

Advanced (Metal Remix) - arranged by MetalReview by Cyanuric, 09/02/2017 Not my cup of tea, I actually hate this kind of style to music. This and opera. But there is nothing short in your skills in producing music and remixes. |

Slow Slower (Place in the Space mix) - arranged by XandraReview by echoxbass, 08/02/2017 Sounds like it was intended loooong time ago.One of my first. Done in AMP as far as i remember. |

Parasol Stars Medley - arranged by RaptureReview by Matt Smith, 07/02/2017 There's just heaps to love about this gloriously sunshiney little gem of a track. The clever and deceptively low-key opening makes the arrival of the up-tempo main body of the remix all the more delightful and surprising, the instruments used throughout the piece have a sprightly, cheerfully magical quality to them that absolutely matches the atmosphere of the original game, and the melding of the two main in-game tunes is a splendid touch that adds greatly to the fun and variety of the whole piece. Super stuff! |

Hired Guns Medley Remake - arranged by synchaozReview by FreshDemon, 29/01/2017 The mixing is fantastic. Very nostalgic and evocative. |

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 - arranged by Dj Alundra1Review by FreshDemon, 28/01/2017 Original-sounding, captures the spirit of the original but also refines it. |

Lips on Lips - arranged by Curt CoolReview by Isacco1975, 17/01/2017 I am not familiar with your tunes, but I named this best newcomer to AmigaRemix. Your tunes are amazing and funny. Keep it up! Finally someone remixing rarities. Technically well mixed, balanced and enjoyable sounds. Needs only more information about this stuff. Artistic skill for me is OUTSTANDING. Techique in mixing: VERY GOOD / OUTSTANDING Nostalgia: CAN'T BE DETERMINED. NO INFO ABOUT TUNE. |

Alien Breed 2012 - arranged by Allister BrimbleReview by neglesaks, 17/01/2017 This is a nice and slightly less fearsome make of its original with a softer impression though highly resemblant of its predecessor, thus not much innovation to show on that front. The technical execution is decent with a few nice twists here and there (which spills somewhat over to the artistic rating), though unfortunately hobbled by that some of the fx nearly mask out each other, which is a shame.The game itself needs no introduction hence the nostalgia factor… and of course it is good to see that Allister is still with us. |

Stardust Warp Sequence 2 - arranged by Allister BrimbleReview by neglesaks, 17/01/2017 Starts out with a resonating low-frequent buzz effect like how it would be when having your space fighter sucked through a metal pipe with the lethal buzzer at the other end. Signature beat of Stardust kicks in early but unfortunately seems to get muddled by the mixture of its own sound and that of the rest. The transition half-way adds a nice mellow feel and contrast to the intro though unfortunately again let down by the buzzy pulses which blur out some of the impression of the tune. The latter half contains minor though clear resemblances from the Alien Breed intro.Overall, a decent remake with a mix of styles that would have produced a better product had it not been for an unfortunate combination of instruments the characteristics of which muddle the sound image at critical points throughout the tune. |

Cebit ´90 Demo - Cream of the Earth - arranged by daXX offlineReview by neglesaks, 17/01/2017 Starts great as with its original, transitions to a nice rounded beat but then drifts off to chiptune-style warbling which sadly seems out of place with the opener; the remainder being a bland affair. |

Turrican II - The Desert Rocks (daXX Remix) - arranged by daXX offlineReview by neglesaks, 17/01/2017 The remix takes us from the pure electro-beat of the early 90s to a good mixture of rock-resemblent sound with some good tempo replacements thrown in together with innovative inserts between the signature elements of the original, in excellent combination. By themselves the components don't seem anything much, but the fusion of all produces a great-sounding, innovative remix of a beloved oldie.The track and the arranger are both minor legends by now. Desert Rocks of Turrican has been re-arranged a multitude of times and is surely one of the fondest remembered tunes from the Amiga era. Daxx - amongst many I must be reasonable to say - has been a loyal and productive member of the remixing community for over a decade and to reproduce this classic in such a way is just brilliant. |

Twintris - Those AntaNine - arranged by pinozulpoReview by neglesaks, 17/01/2017 Oh how Twintris had my affection back in the day. Not least thanks to the music. Thank you pinozulpo! |

Spellbound (Rob Hubbard Remake) - arranged by WombleMCReview by Chris Abbott, 07/01/2017 Terrible sounds. Also, suspiciously reminiscent of my old XG MIDI file which has been on the Internet for about 20 years now. |

Pinball Dreams Intro Remix - arranged by daXX offlineReview by iXien, 29/12/2016 Well done, all the fun of the original is here with a fantastic guitar to complete it! |

Ghosts'n Goblins (Gueuze 'n Goblins mix) - arranged by Rune-Bertil'sReview by Vilesyn, 27/12/2016 Great remix, but very deceiving.The intro felt like I was in for a big surprise, but it didn't set me up for the swing-style I received. I was thinking at least some crazy psycho-mariachi or some sort of edm mix like mariachi zombies, or El Mariachi. The G&G C64 main intro/first stage music was always something I loved as it built me up from a calm collective, to getting ready to impale the undead. This remix didn't do that for me after the intro. Do get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, but the first transition was from a moment of nostalgia to constantly having to piece together the parts in my mind, hoping they would sound familiar again. Don't get me wrong, I love swing as much as a the next guy, but to me it just didn't fit the style of this song, and wanted to give the arranger some constructive critique. Still, I enjoyed this remix quite a bit. |

Zoids Trap Remix - arranged by LändgassaReview by Vilesyn, 27/12/2016 The integrity and flow of the original was intact, and was extremely entertaining. I really dig the flow and how the arranger kept it like the original.Realistically, I have no idea why this remix is rated so low, but as a pleased listener I had to register to give this one some well deserved love. |

Nine Lives - arranged by SlaygonReview by Shargo, 20/12/2016 A magnificent piece that just keeps building. Deep lovely foundation, clear strings and sprinkled with electronic touches. Classical music and retro combined |
|
Gem'X (Mantronix Edit) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Grigul, 24/11/2016 Well, I think I heared that one first on a burned CD in my car. When I heared it, my chin falls down and I made my stupiest face I'm able to. Wow, absolutely awesome. One of my absolutely favourites. As mentioned already in my Shout: Great Job, Dr Future. This one is better than the instrumental version. |
|
Fawn of Creation - arranged by PeacemakerReview by Grigul, 24/11/2016 I think I just heared that for the first time, it was just aired at Slay Radio as a request by a listener. My first thoughts were: Ah, a Jarre-ish tune. I changed my mind while listening to Wow!! Like Jarre himself would play. Peacemaker, well done. Great Job^^ |
|
Sanxion - arranged by MRTReview by wbdeejay, 22/11/2016 Super fun feel to this version. Great chemistry to the sounds used. The bass line is awesome and creative. It's tricky to end a piece well, and I feel that ending is a minor let-down here, But I can't suggest an alternative. Overall, well done. |
|
Commando (rock mix) - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by Grigul, 22/11/2016 When I heared that tune first, I thought Commando? In Rock-Style? Impossible, that can't work Well, I was wrong. It can, Johan, you proved it. Great Job. Well done. |
