Trivia Ultimate Challenge - Kitsch mix - arranged by Chronberg

Review by Nada, 07/09/2005

This is nice! Nice trumpet sound, walking bass etc. It stands between seriousness and hilarity! My only objection is that I would prefer real swinging drums (loads of ride cymbals and beats 2 and 4 to be the dominant ones instead of the usual 1 and 3 rock beat). I like it a lot though, I'll include it in my Incredibly Strange Music collection!

Mask III - Venom Strikes Back (20Hz Mix) - arranged by Zuckerfrei

Review by Nada, 07/09/2005

This is very nicely executed. I really like the organ! The ending has to be refined a bit, maybe last longer? Nice work, in general.

Warhawk (o2 mix) - arranged by o2

Review by dulmerlucsly, 02/09/2005

I think the bassline is a mix between Jarre's Magnetic Fields I and Equinoxe V - VII.
For me it's an outstanding tune, that enfolds his power in the rise of the mood.

The house Jack built (Ping-Pong version) - arranged by Chronberg

Review by boessu, 29/08/2005

This one is a MUST for all techno lovers. However, for my opinion, Heartland is for me the perfect song from Chronblom as artist and it must be hard to have the own limit that high. 😉

Mission AD - arranged by Robert Mansfield

Review by nettuno, 23/08/2005

I am so happy: there Is someone who can write good symponic music.
Only one thing: the first chord of the first beat of gameplay theme Is major instead minor. That sound strange… not bad, but strange.
Good job!

Lightforce 2004 - arranged by Darren Lambourne

Review by stell, 17/08/2005

Oh my God! It's drop-dead gorgeous! This is shure a Remix, but i would rather call it The Lightforce Mass. Maybe the best Remix i've heard so far. Just listen from 2:48 till… ugh, just listen! The violins are giving me the creeps! Perfect!

Katakis Trance Mix 2K4 - arranged by Awesome-A

Review by stell, 17/08/2005

There is sadly no Katakis remix out there i really like. So its a nice suprise listening to Awesome-As Remix. The Beginning and the End End are very well done. The main Part is most of the time a little bit 80s Pre-Techno-Pop. But you just have to jump to 2:02 and you are rewarded for your (not existing) patience. There starts one of my favourite Katakis melodies and it is arranged like Chris himself would loved it! Great Stuff on this Part! Besides that nice work.

Lost Patrol - arranged by Makke

Review 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 maf

Review 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 Traxer

Review 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 DHS

Review 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-JOY

Review 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 Wanderer

Review 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 Mitch

Review 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_cOoKiE

Review 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 Makke

Review 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 😊

Parallax (4 A Leone Western Mix) - arranged by MistaDistah

Review 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.

Outrun (early 90s remix) - arranged by Jarno Beumer

Review 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 deVilhoOD

Review 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 deVilhoOD

Review 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.

Spy Vs Spy 3 (Arctic in the Space Frozen Mix SP) - arranged by Yamazaki Kato

Review 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.

Spy Vs Spy 3 (Arctic in the Space Frozen Mix SP) - arranged by Yamazaki Kato

Review 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.
