Utopia Theme (Heroes and Cowards mix) - arranged by Roland Kaiser Wilhelm

Review by HansiHusten, 23/12/2015

Like it very much, keep up the good work
Has a good feeling, mood is real nice
Please write at least 15 words.
I have already written 15 words: o and it still does not work
Now maybe? No still not, maybe now?
And again its still not allowing me to submit
No and not again… sigh, come on
And again still no joy
My god how many lines do I need to make up to submit this?

Condom Corruption (daXX minimalistic Remix) - arranged by daXX offline

Review by Gwood1234, 23/12/2015

I've been trying to crack this remix for years. Each time I start off fairly well but am never happy with it. This is got to be one of the hardest Amiga tracks to remix - there's such a lot going on and the amount of detail in the original made it one of the finest demo tracks created. When I heard daXX's remix of 9 Fingers, also by Spaceballs, I knew this was the guy to do it! This remix features many of the original instruments but combined with daXX's polished dance music production. It might not be as good as 9 Fingers but it's an incredible version of a monster track!

Will You remember (Gone) - arranged by MRT

Review by LaLa, 30/11/2015

What a wonderful, clean arrangement: not a single note that's wasted, not a single note that's useless.

But what really makes this remix is the lyrics: it's a mix of touching eulogy and techno-romance that may not seem so out of place today in the age of smartphones and smart TVs - but this began 30 years ago when it was not fashionable and commonplace to be glued to computer screens.

One cannot be NOT moved by the lyrics, and, of course, by the synthesized voice that sings it: that unmistakable Commodore speech engine.

My only technical note is that I wish the voice was put more in front of the rest of the mix.

A remarkable piece of nostalgia. Dziekuje, Tomasz!

Will You remember (Gone) - arranged by MRT

Review by exocytosis, 25/11/2015

Will You Remember is, simply put, an amazing piece of work - the slew of string instruments in combination with the unmistakebly SID-esque synthesizer sound make for a great C64 cover all by itself. What really puts the icing on the cake and makes this song stand out is how its robot voice manages to convey feelings of despair, sorrow and sadness. With the expected technological singularity mere decades away, counting CPU cycles and juggling IRQs seem like a hazy memory of an age that briefly flashed before our eyes. With the impending society-wide introduction of super evolved computers that will forever change the world as we know it, I can see why our Commodore computers already urge us not to forget them, and plead for us to remember.

And I will. I wouldn't be the same person if my great parents hadn't bought me my VIC-20 or my C128. I will remember.

Last Ninja 2 - The Sewers loader (FreeJitsu-Mix) - arranged by wk-one

Review by LaLa, 20/11/2015

I find the intro more promising than the rest of the remix, which at 0:52 becomes just one of many LN2 remixes. There are a few cool ideas lurking in it, though. The most intriguing one is the whispering voices part after 2:12, that's very creative.

I really want to like this remix so much, but it isn't fleshed out as well as it could've been.

Out Run - Magical Sound Shower - arranged by Johan Andersson

Review by drm, 13/09/2015

Outrun was one of the great arcade racers of the 80's and although the port to the c64 wasn't quite the experience the music got us closer.
There are several Outrun remixes to listen to each vying for the congratulations and this one by Johan's is decent - even matching Peter W's award winning effort in terms of production. The guitar rhythm playing is tight and are accompanied by a nice palette of sounds that blend well together.
However there is one flaw in this could be gem of a remix - it's far too slow. It's rather like listening to a 45rpm on 33rpm which kills that warm fuzzy adrenaline fueled nostalgia of the original. Maybe remixers spend so much time and effort making the track it begins to sound right and who can blame them after all, it is up to the remixer to dictate the tempo of their productions. Yet in this case it is from a racing game and in my opinion it needs that extra 20-30 bpm added on.
In summary it's a great track and I'd urge you to download it if you are a fan of Outrun. I'd also advise that if you have a pitch shift or timestretch app then use it on the track and it really shifts from lo to hi gear…

Powerdrift - arranged by SIDrip Alliance offline

Review by LMan, 11/09/2015

Wow just wow. A very powerful take on powerdrift with a surprising twist in the middle, quoting two other famous SID tunes, allowing to take a breath before the energetic main arrangement resumes. Just fantastic.

Electric Jesus - arranged by SIDrip Alliance offline

Review by LMan, 11/09/2015

The remix does the original justice, except the high pitched filtered synth which is the backbone of the SID, while here it is replaced with a thin saw sound. However the bridge at 2:02 is spot on and together with the finale makes up for it. Overall a very cool remix, almost outstanding!

Review by LMan, 11/09/2015

Taking on a classic like Compleeto is no easy task, and the SIDrip Alliance has done an impressive job in capturing the SID's unique spirit, while adding a lot of own ideas to it. Technically flawless, hugely enjoyable. Hats off!

When a song keeps playing over and over on my system, and I don't know I have listened to the same thing for 2 hours and that I continually to get goose bumps at the same place each time is the sign of a song that has been put together really REALLY well! You Originally this song was one of the ones I played on SID a lot - but now I am just going to be playing this even more! Great work!!

Storm Warrior sub. 2 - arranged by MRT

Review by Chris Abbott, 29/08/2015

Not a great start, a bit mechanical, but makes up for it later. Takes quite a while to get to the melodic point, but quite impressed by the solo put over Mark's wonderful but slightly repetitive original. There's a number of ways the dynamism in this could have been improved, but it's still a musically intelligent attempt, and had some great moments, especially in the second half.

Tears From a Blind Eye - arranged by Hank (Lukasz Drzewiecki)

Review by nightlord, 11/08/2015

I am honored to have my SID remixed with this much effort and love. I didn't know about the existence of this until 2 days ago and I was blown away with how well you understood the intentions behind various components from their SID renditions.
Kudos: You completely nailed the feel of the acoustic guitar intro.
You made the 3.04 - 3.08 range amazing. The addition of the distorted guitars (which I didn't think of in the original) makes that part so much more intense.
Overall your drums rule
Humble suggestion:
- Like others called out the mix/mastering could be improved. Especially the bass was difficult to hear in places.

I am grateful for this great remix. Thank you so much
