Aztec Challenge (the Dark Days) [Cinematic 64] - arranged by SlaygonReview by LaLa, 16/09/2024 The original SID of Aztec Challenge is pretty dark by itself - it's even darker here. Not pure evil dark, but the slowed down tempo and the raspy, shattering bass would definitely make me run away from this track in a dark alley. A woodwind-dominated break provides some reprieve before we are pulled back into Beelzebub's simmering lava for the conclusion of this track. |

Den Indre Kilde - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 16/09/2024 A perfect selection of instruments and octaves without too many modern unnecessary transitions. Music as it was 100 years ago. A return to the time of our great-grandparents and great-grandfathers. It can be listened to for days by several generations of listeners. |

Den Indre Kilde - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 16/09/2024 Excellent arrangement and full of emotions, especially when considering that Kjell apparently released this the same year he took his own life… But the reason I didn't vote red on this is because the lead instruments are too in-your-face. They need to be softer and gentler in the mix, especially for a deeply moving piece like this. |

Chronicles - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by rnuls, 13/09/2024 Wow, this intro!The rhythm arrives naturally. Little chords feels deliciously soudtracked. Variations always inspired. Well executed. To me a must-have!!! |

Cauldron (witch hunt remix) - arranged by Mario BarbieratoReview by mike_c64, 03/09/2024 Incredible track—absolutely 10 out of 10! I've had it on repeat for hours. The vocals blend perfectly with the music. Fantastic work, and I can't wait to hear more like this! 😊 |

Dutch Breeze Advertisement - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 02/09/2024 Exceptional sense and talent for the tempo and tonality of the instruments. Only a little bit of female vocals are missing. That's all. |

Caer Aisling - arranged by VandahliaReview by Eivind Sommersten, 30/08/2024 I love this SID!I think you did a good job with the remix. The rythm of the SID is difficult to imitate (I have tried 😅), but I think you managed it quite well. The bridge at 2:13 is also lovely and true to the original, you've succeeded in recreating a song which is technically difficult and somewhat unorthodox both as a SID and as a piece of music. I wish there was more to the arrangement though - after a very short intro the tune is more or less similar in mood and dynamics throughout. It's not a big problem but I feel there is unused potential here! It also ends a little abrubtly. I have to say I really miss the rolling bass of the original - to me it's an important part of it. Overall I absolutely appreciate the effort - it's obvious that musically you know what you are doing. Also, you have great taste in SIDs! 😉 |

Anglia Spirit - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 19/08/2024 It's a good old school of perfectly chosen instruments and emotional tempo. Good sense of guitar and voice. |

Cybernoid II (Had to Regulate) - arranged by MakkeReview by LaLa, 19/08/2024 Another amazing mashup or in the style of remix from Makke! As usual, the style and the arrangement is spot-on, and the lyrics is just 👌. I do not know how much time Makke spends on getting the lyrics just right, but not only it pays homage to the original Warren G track, it also ties to the backstory of the C64 game. I am just floored… And then Makke also brings it home with his perfect vocal delivery. Massive respects to a massive talent! |

Freedom (Metal Version) - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by Dr.j Delysid, 19/08/2024 Yet another klilling track from the hot remixers Rock and JDL. love the metal version very much and its so refreshing to hear sid music in the taste of heavy rock with great guitars solo's. nostalgia factor on its best!! thanks guyz and keep rocking!! loove it! |

80s Supremacy - arranged by MakkeReview by Glyn R. Brown, 05/08/2024 Well, It deserves a nice smiley just because it has Makke in the title, Ha! 😉👍… |

80s Supremacy - arranged by MakkeReview by LaLa, 03/08/2024 Superb idea - but where is the singing, and the grunts, the ow's, the hoo's, and the hee-hees? Makke, are you okay? 😉I feel that the arrangement in the first minute or so is a bit awkward as you are trying to force Supremacy down the throat of this smooth criminal. But the instrumentation and the style is almost spot-on. Great smashup! |

Heaven - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by Dr.j Delysid, 02/08/2024 I am sure 'Jussi Hannula' will be proud of this renedition. The remix of Heaven is a captivating masterpiece that beautifully blends emotional depth with inspiring melodies. The track's seamless transitions and layered harmonies evoke a sense of serenity and introspection, making it a truly transformative listening experience, i especiialy love the change from the piano smooth and emotional rythm to a powerful guitar riff. a killer one for sure. Rock & JLD you made it again!! 10/10 from Dr.j |

BMX Kidz (New Jack Swingish) - arranged by MakkeReview by LaLa, 11/07/2024 Wow, where should I begin?The production is top-notch, it nails that 90s style to the T. The lyrics is sooo clever while it also ties back to the original C64 game. And it's performed flawlessly.This is an amazingly polished remix through and through. |

Cooperation Demo (GURO Remix) - arranged by GUROГАГАReview by LaLa, 10/07/2024 The total lack of proper mixing is what kills this remix for me. For example, when at 0:48 the bass floats in, it just overpowers everything else. The instruments sound very dry, too, a bit more reverb would've helped. There's also a total lack of dynamics, every track just shouts at the same level throughout. |

Lethargic - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 08/07/2024 Sometimes there's a tune that stays with you for days and days, and it doesn't let you go for whatever reason. I've been listening to this one for days now, and it's not letting me go. I don't know why. Maybe because it has the perfect combination of oldsk00l charm and a melancholic theme. And the flute-based break in the middle reminds me of 1970s whodunnit TV series… I can't explain why, but I am captivated by this remix. |

Glider Pilot - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Dees Productions, 03/07/2024 Very relaxing remix of a classic SID tune. The soothing atmosphere just makes me glide away! |

RoboCop (Binary Hearts Beating In Time mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by Poke16384, 03/07/2024 I'm assuming, based on Cinnamon Dreams' previous 2 uploads that this song is also 100% AI generated. That changes the rules upon which it should be judged. If all of the creation, arrangement and mix/master is the work of an AI program then the only skill or ability we can attribute to the uploader is their ability to feed a set of parameters to the AI program… and that isn't why Remix64 exists. Best AI Programmer won't ever be one of the Remixer of the Year awards… Whether you are a remixer or somebody who simply enjoys listening to remixes, (and I'm both), the attraction of both RKO & Remix64 is hearing the creativity and imagination of real musicians and their interpretation of SID music into their own style, genre & arrangement… and all of those tasty little bits of ear-candy in a finished remix…? They usually evolve during the creative process… with new ideas emerging as more things are added to the tune… AI cannot & does not do that… On first viewing, xazzo's pukey greens seemed harsh but… he's actually right! There is no musical technique or artistic skill here… and the finished tune has no essence of the original to give it nostalgia… It's just a computer crudely hammering a set of cheesy lyrics into the same chords… |

Echoes of Eternity - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by Dr.j Delysid, 02/07/2024 After 15 seconds, you know you are going to a great place. The lead guitars are banging, and the development of the song is amazing. For me, it's top-notch work—not just because of the beautiful guitar work, but for the completeness of the song and its great energetic vibes. Love it from the start to the end! Rock + JLD you are guyz fuckin' amazing and pls keep doing those cool remixes!! |
|
Echoes of Eternity - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by PixelGrinch, 02/07/2024 Let's face it, Johan Danielsson back then already put the bar pretty high for his time with his SID. Your remix is spot on, I am with @lomaxx in regards of the lead is a bit thin compared to the guitar, tiny gripe though. Thanks for Sharing! |

Stormlord Arok full length - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by PixelGrinch, 02/07/2024 So old school what a great remix, captured my attention right away! So many changes in the song and its all harmonizing well together! Brilliant! |

Trivia v2 - TH3 Plugin Experiment - arranged by OxxReview by johnwbyrd, 02/07/2024 Thank you so much, for taking my terrible little chiptune from 1984, and making it into something special.I wrote this theme when I was 14! I hope I have done better since then. You have made the theme into a completely new and better song! THANK YOU!! |

Last Ninja 2 (Corporate Clash Ninja Battle mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by xazzo, 29/06/2024 AI generated content is just soulless, and I don't have anything nice to say about any of it. If actual effort by an actual person had gone into this remix, it would be a whole other matter. |
|
Last Ninja 2 (Ninja's Return mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by xazzo, 29/06/2024 This is just more AI generated junk, totally forgettable and ultimately nothing but a waste of time. |
|
RoboCop (Binary Hearts Beating In Time mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by xazzo, 29/06/2024 It's just sad when people hide behind AI and pretend to be creative. No real effort went into the music and all you're doing is fooling yourself. The world doesn't need any more AI crap. |

The Great Giana Sisters (Soundtrack Version) - arranged by Mario BarbieratoReview by PixelGrinch, 25/06/2024 A slow version of the Giana Sisters that is simply breathtaking. What an experience! Masterpiece! Thank you Mario! |
|
Avenge - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 16/06/2024 A great talent for mixing SID and rhythm. I'm sorry it didn't last a little longer. |

The Stationary Ark - arranged by amoonReview by Glyn R. Brown, 10/06/2024 Now this is one educational remix, Ha!… Behind those spoken words sits a very emotional & beautifully crafted composition, just what I needed 😊 I really enjoyed this remix… |
|
The Stationary Ark - arranged by amoonReview by LaLa, 09/06/2024 Excellent concept done really well. From the whale songs to the Earth-based factoids (with a big nod towards Vangelis) it's just a really good, cohesive piece that also pays homage to the original TV series of the same title. And on top of it the tune would totally stand on its own even without the voiceovers. A wonderful piece, thanks for sharing it with us!

Textuality (and more) - arranged by BeeZerkReview by ziona, 01/06/2024 Listening through the original SID with all its 7 subtunes, I really gotta put this review here. BeeZerk did not only re-iterated this song but added A LOT of own elements to it which elevated the whole thing to an awesome whole new funky level! The bassline is super-catchy and his own melody lines he brings in at 2:50 (that I suspect he referred to it as evolving to chaos) is simply something that after a few listens grows on you becoming a bombastic lead-attack where all notes fall into place!My only wish technically is that the kicks and snares could punch harder, but that's it! This is a superior composition with well-fitting unique touches! |
