The Recovery - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by winc, 08/10/2005 Lars Huff has been one of my favourite commodore 64 musicians for a long time now, and I feel that not many people know how to really capture what I think Lars does in his original pieces. Then along comes Glyn with a remake of probably one of my most favourite pieces of Lars.Now Glyn takes his own take on the main theme of the original piece, and makes it certainly his own with this remake. Something that really shows in here is that Glyn probably has a big Mike Oldfield collection (or he better have if he hasn't!: P) because there is that MASSIVE feel to this piece you get when listening to the likes of Mike Oldfiend. Overall there are few remakes that I really feel honored to have listened to, and that the author took the time to create. This would be now in that top ten of music that I will listen to almost every day! Thank you for sharing your vision of this already lovely piece - you did it justice! |

Zoids - arranged by o2Review by snorbaard, 07/10/2005 I found this remix a few years ago on the internet, and have always kept it in whatever my play-of-the-year is, always rated tops.Although I missed Zoids the Game, I was a huge C64 fan in the early 90's, ending up owning three, and the SID chip awed me from the beginning, and still does. o2's remix of Zoids has the unerring ability to make me nostalgic for the 'good old days'. For the emotional quotient that this song has, I must rate it tops. Thanks o2. |

Battle Squadron - Menu (Juno Reaktor Remix) - arranged by W1p3outReview by 8_bit_fingers, 01/10/2005 Tehee, so silly its cute.A wild Coffeineture Remix of the good old spaceshooter Battle Squadron. Fast and directly impressive. I made an Audio-CD at once. |

Turrican II - The Great Bath - arranged by AmiGamerReview by xonder, 28/09/2005 This is in my opinion easily the best Great Bath remix hitherto. The instruments feel just right, as does the mood (at least until the drums begin). I particularly enjoyed the flute and the choirs/strings. In my opinion the drum section seems pretty much out of place, though. As far as I'm concerned The Great Bath is nothing about rhythm, but all about melody and harmony. The melody carries itself very well without need of a drum beat. But apart from that I have very little to complain about. All the harmonies are 100% true to the original, unlike many other The Great Bath remixes. Great work! |

Eagles - arranged by HazelReview by plokolp, 27/09/2005 This is one of my favourite tunes. I love the low and growly bass, especially when it's thumping in my car. The speakers almost give out! Great thump thump stuff. |

Ultima IV - The Complete - arranged by choscReview by artemis, 27/09/2005 This sound reminds me of the middle-ages, like mystictimes. It is a good combination of modern sound and taste of a mystic world, where not everybody has access to or possibility to reach. Good job, chosc! Go on, living your intuiton and deep feelings inside! All the best! |

(The World Needs Another) Comic Bakery - arranged by 7anReview by suso, 26/09/2005 Not too bad. I imagine that a lot of people are going to call this one out for the sample quality, but I think that in a way it makes it sound a bit more retro and puts you in a listening environment. |

Lightforce 2002 - arranged by Allister BrimbleReview by Dr-Duke, 11/09/2005 Since the release of 'Alien Breed' in 1991 on the Amiga, I was astonished and fascinated about that piece of work Allister Brimble had delivered there. And about how deep and lovely a tune could come to.Just to mention: I'm a child of the very first days of Atari2600, C64 and Atari800XL. Although these days, I never played 'Lightforce'… on not any system. Today, a few weeks ago, I heard Brimble's remake of that game music (and of course the good old. sid, to get a compare) and instantly felt in love with it. It is, indeed, a modern remix. Still electronic, still fast and still none sort of a chartz-like-one you can hear all the fu****g day on your Radio… It's strictly bound to the rythmn of the original, but with more love. More love, for the old times. More in-depth. Where the music more touched your sense, your soul, than your money-bag. I think it is made with love… somehow. But… to come to a conclusion: If you like harmonic (Jean Michel Jarre) and rythmic tunes in a modern, fast and trancey good old way, this one is definately one you should hear! Yet, still, I get a bumpy condition of my skin, when listening to this awesome track… 😊 Thank you, Allister Brimble!! Thank you!! |

The Recovery - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by pricer, 10/09/2005 I found myself in a fortunate position of not knowing this SID, so my first impression was based on Glyn's effort alone. The quality of the sounds and mix are without doubt first class, nice reverb (not over done as in so many cases), nice use of piano and guitar for lead. The flow makes you feel that you're never sure whats next but gels perfectly. I have since listened to the SID and Glyn has once again taken the right bits out not to loose all of the spirit. It was rather strange though to listen to one of Glyns pieces and not hear a single orchestral hit!! A very nice piece. |

Trivia Ultimate Challenge - Kitsch mix - arranged by ChronbergReview 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 ZuckerfreiReview 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. |

Firelord (Industrial Green Beret Mix) - arranged by Mika Ruottinen offlineReview by vassago, 03/09/2005 Argh?!… … Mixing up a lovely tune like firelord with a few green baret sounds made me want to rip my ears off. Dont do it again, pwease. |
|
Warhawk (o2 mix) - arranged by o2Review 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 ChronbergReview 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. 😉 |
|
Katakis Spezial mix - arranged by Sub SonicReview by botus, 23/08/2005 It's great for me 😊 Maybe because i know nothing about original. But some parts are really cool! So it's good enough to have 😊 |
|
Mission AD - arranged by Robert MansfieldReview 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 LambourneReview 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-AReview 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 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!!! |
