Lost Patrol - arranged by MakkeReview by vinceblood, 06/08/2005 Excellent! DX7 bass and caliope sounds renforced by a voice bathing in a mediocre reverb make the music very 80ies, it is great and rather in the respect of the original music.Drum is great too, chords sound are a bit disapointed however compared the overall sound. We expected a sort of Jupiter-8 pad instead. Congratz! |

Turrican II Level 1 - arranged by mafReview by vinceblood, 06/08/2005 The first Turrican 2 music that impress me so much. A typical Martin Iveson touch with all these gimics, I love that.Great sound design, mixing is in the respect of Amiga demo music touch, it is nice. Bass sound is bit strange however. Congratz!!! |

Rolands Ratrace (The quest for Jarre) - arranged by TraxerReview by xgener8or, 05/08/2005 I like the Jarre'ing. Nice sounds and a cool piece. I like the style and the 80's synth feel. I am unfamiliar with the original game but I am a fan of Jarre and as such, it's great. |

Cybernoid 2 (Pede Cyber Mix) - arranged by DHSReview by stell, 03/08/2005 This is what i call an uninspired remix. Choosing the Piano for the main Melody was a big Mistake. The almighty MoN Sound in a Olive-Dance Version? Come on, just uninspired. |
|
Thundercats (Nervous Gattuso Edit) - arranged by N-JOYReview by stell, 03/08/2005 It's a completely waste of time. Why are people putting so much time in creating a tune which sounds like the Ultra-Mainstream-Teckno-Chart-S… tuff!? It's a pain in the arse. |

Thundercats - arranged by Sonic WandererReview by stell, 03/08/2005 Hey, it's Thundercats! Great! Well the Beginnig is great. I absolutely love the kettle drums and the start of the track punctuating the Ooooooo Chorus. Then the Synthi-Style takes over, which is also fine, but at 1:10 there is this wired whistle thing and the main melody starts… mmpf. I like Erasure, but not in a Thundercats Remix. Softspeech, why not, but please no ABBA chords. 2:25! What's going on?? I'm leaving… going back to the first minute. |

Lightforce (Original Minimal Mix) - arranged by DJ MitchReview by stell, 03/08/2005 Why not? The drums are kicking like hell! Just the main track melody is quite… flashy. The other instruments are well choosen, not the best ones, but well arranged. The Pace is based on the original and did i say the drums are great? |
|
Flashback - arranged by DeAdLy_cOoKiEReview by stell, 03/08/2005 Nope. The Original was REALLY impressive. This one is just a poor copy. Listen to Lambournes Lightforce too get a glimpse of how orchestral arragements are done. Get the MOD and compare. What a pity! |

Artura(Dublin Delight Mix) feat. Andreas Wallström - arranged by MakkeReview by mfe, 02/08/2005 I love a good celtic/gaelic ditty, and this one does the job well. Makke has taken a SID with promise and delivered with a somewhat original little song that I could hear being sung in a tavern or two.I was a little disappointed with some of the transitions, and I was dying to hear an authentic fiddle in there somewhere take the main theme and do something marvelous with it; I feel the piece lacks something as a result, and the ending doesn't feel quite right, but that's just my personal take on the matter. A good piece, to be sure 😊 |

Platoon (Friendly Fire) - arranged by X-Klang offlineReview by katoyama, 02/08/2005 Good! It's pretty good tune and lot of potentional material for great ambience tune. I think to remix this one too. =)Keep working on. The tune have great starts and great ends. ^_^ |
|
Parallax (4 A Leone Western Mix) - arranged by MistaDistahReview by stell, 01/08/2005 It's a good one. This fits good between my favorites from Allister Brimble and Darren Lambourne. No disco stuff, no fancy teckno beats, no freaking moby loops - just cool ambience. The main melody instrument is quiet unobtrusive, but why not. We all know and love the melody. Ok, the ending is wired. |

Artura(Dublin Delight Mix) feat. Andreas Wallström - arranged by MakkeReview by Nada, 01/08/2005 I'm listening to this tune a gazillion times a day and still can't get enough of it! It is simply AWESOME!!! |
|
Outrun (early 90s remix) - arranged by Jarno BeumerReview by slf, 31/07/2005 Finally, Jason C. Brooke's original meets hiphouse (Fast Eddie) and Shamen-esque sequences! A nice but mellow album track, which the good old Beatmasters could have transformed into a real 1991 chart-buster! |
|
Spellbound (Remiximus) - arranged by deVilhoODReview by richard_iii, 28/07/2005 Overall, I found this remix of the song very plesant, I love the way it starts, Its brilliant. I think he has done an amazing job with this remix… probably worked very hard on it, you can tell that alot of work has been put into it. Rob hubbard is one of the best composers! And even better… this is an amazing remix! I found absolutly nothing wrong with the insturments used.I love it! 😃 😃 Keep up the good work! |
|
Spellbound (Remiximus) - arranged by deVilhoODReview by bartonfink, 27/07/2005 I'm always excited when I see a new Spellbound remix because it has always been the number one C64 tune for me. I used to play that game for hours and hours… This is not bad, not bad at all. Guitar is excellent but some other sounds could be better, somehow the drums don't convince for example. Still very good though. |
|
Ghouls n Ghosts (The Errant Ghost) - arranged by load_errorReview by Nada, 14/07/2005 Very good remix. I had no idea how the particular SID tune could be remixed, until I heard this one. Hard work. |
|
Wizball Hiscore (Bossa Mix) - arranged by Eric DelosReview by Nada, 14/07/2005 Very good attempt. Nice bassline, real chill-out sound. It somehow reminded me of Jeff Sharel's tunes. Never gets boring, ideal for summer loungin'. |
|
Spy Vs Spy 3 (Arctic in the Space Frozen Mix SP) - arranged by Yamazaki KatoReview by Nada, 13/07/2005 Nice sounds, very icy. The intro bit seems to be a semitone down the actual phrase - it doesn't sound odd though. The only problem is repetition; it doesn't keep the listener's interest through the whole track. |
|
Parallax (4 A Leone Western Mix) - arranged by MistaDistahReview by rudwolf, 12/07/2005 Well, I like ambient tunes… this song doesn't remembers me kraftwerk but Mike Oldfield tunes instead… you can't define if its exactly something because it has no ABSOLUTELY defined genre… but I liked it a lot! |
|
Selfmade .EXE (z3ta club rmx) - arranged by DafunkReview by XPEh/LKR, 09/07/2005 Very nice progressive remix with professional sound! It's sound like my favourite musics of 95-96 years… Do more remixes like this! Superb! 😊 |
|
Spy Vs Spy 3 (Arctic in the Space Frozen Mix SP) - arranged by Yamazaki KatoReview by load_error, 06/07/2005 Considering this kind of music repetitive is like to judge a metal tune too… metallic…This hypnotic suite is amazing and involving… nice stereo sounds and nice spacey atmosphere. I understand people who dont like the style, but to be objective this tune is underrated by the RKO crew. |
|
Spy vs Spy - arranged by KjetilnReview by LaLa, 28/06/2005 The fake vocals in the beginning sound awesome - keep'em! There are some great ideas in there, but it appears you fell in love with them and couldn't bring yourself to change them - therefore, this remix sounds repetitive. Either make it shorter or make it more varied to make it more appealing. Other than that, a very decent effort! |
|
Impossible Mission (Impossible Vocal Experiment) - arranged by load_errorReview by LaLa, 27/06/2005 Very avantgarde, definitely different, a very original remix. But where's that Aaaah? And where are those electronic blip-blops of the robots? At least the feeling of the game is there: this would definitely work as background music for a PS2 version of Impossible Mission. =) |
|
MOTR-HiScore (Garage Band Mix) - arranged by X-Klang offlineReview by LaLa, 27/06/2005 Those who say 80's music suxx obviously lived in the wrong 80's, right, SID fans?… … 😊Nice attempt at adding lyrics to MOTR, but unfortunately, the singing is completely drowned out - as far as mixing goes, this is a great example of how NOT to do it when there's singing, too. I am generally not fond of the garage band sound (there's just waaay too much of it out there and most of it its garbage), but as instrumentation goes, this is pretty decent. The MOTR tune melody is not always there, but that's okay with me. |
|
Spy Vs Spy 3 (Arctic in the Space Frozen Mix SP) - arranged by Yamazaki KatoReview by LaLa, 27/06/2005 Very reminiscent of Antarctica Echoes by Vangelis, captures that stereotypical antarctic feeling very well. But it's too repetitive and thus, it feels drawn out. Successive repetitions of the theme should've been more varied to keep the listener interested. |
|
The Human Race (Melodie Eine) - arranged by Das Karl Werk ProjektReview by LaLa, 27/06/2005 Very, very good electro cover of Hubbard's famous tune. The technical quality of it is just superb: it's well-balanced, the instruments are great, etc. I think it should've gone a bit further to bring out the Kraftwerk-feel, but it's a very good piece, regardless.Except for the piano at the end. I have no idea why that was needed there. I mean, it's nice piano playing by itself, but together with the electronic first half it's just out place. Thus my lower score for artistic impression. |
|
The Human Race (Melodie Eine) - arranged by Das Karl Werk ProjektReview by load_error, 14/06/2005 I usually think that a remix shoul be a re-interpretation of the original (adding own touches and alternative melodies, trying to keep the original feeling in), while this one is more or less the same as the original, with the sounds replaced. The work is saved from an average vote by the technical purity, the excellent mixing, the nice sounds and by the lovely piano ending. After all, relistening once again, the overall tune sounds splendid… and i feel captured by this mix. |
|
Athena (Sweetness Of Being A Siren) - arranged by load_errorReview by LMan, 13/06/2005 I really love this remix. It's the kind of music I used to listen to a lot in the 90s, and I still occasionally do. The tune's length is just fine, couldn't be long enough for me. It builds up nicely, has a mellow atmosphere, and fitting sound effects in the background. The rythmic part is well made, and even production values are high. Relistening, I simply can't praise this one enough. Oh the sweetness of being a siren!Very decent ambient remix! More of that please… 😃 |
|
Deflektor (In Your Face Mix) - arranged by KryogeniKReview by sidvicious, 13/06/2005 I like it. I don't usually like the rockier interpretations, but this one does it fine. I think the slightly rambling guitar actually aids the interpretation of the piece. Being a hardass i only give it a good because of the nature of the piece; this goes further to convince me that the rockier adaptations have something to them. |
|
Rambo 3 (Loading) - arranged by Raven SquadReview by Tas, 10/06/2005 An impressive laid back piece with some useful and interesting drums patterns giving it a little life where maybe it would have been a little too laid back otherwise.The only thing that prevents me giving this the RED smiley is that i feel something is slightly missing like an additional harmony in the background that emphasises the main lead and the already nice backing. It's so close to being awesome! |
