Fourth Protocol (Encore64) - arranged by TomskReview by LaLa, 17/04/2023 A melancholic, almost elegiac rendition ofFourth Protocolwith a symphonic instrumentation that harkens back to the era of romanticism. The real power of this piece is undoubtedly the choir, which lends evocative emotional undertones to this track. The echoes of this remix will stay with you long after the final note fades away… |

Denarius (Encore64) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 17/04/2023 This is what Glyn is best known for: epic orchestral cinematic style. I am getting very strong vibes of recent Hans Zimmer soundtracks in this piece where Glyn is not afraid to flex his artistic muscles by mixing choir-embellished symphonic soundscapes with electronic sounds. The original SID was composed by Peter Clarke, but in Glyn's hands it's elevated to heights I don't think Peter could even dream of back in 1987. This track is an adventure all by itself and immensely satisfying to listen to - an instant classic. |

Yes Comment - arranged by FZNReview by LaLa, 17/04/2023 The first minute of it sounds absolutely fabulous, then it seems to fall apart a bit. Too bad, because the instrumentation sounds pretty good. It's mostly the arrangement that somehow doesn't gel with me. Can't quite put my finger on why that's so. |

Ocean Loader 2 (Year of the Analogue Horn) - arranged by Dan TootillReview by LaLa, 04/04/2023 Interesting choice of instruments, but the arrangement is not exactly captivating. That analogue horn mentioned in the subtitle should've been more prominent, more powerful, too. The sound level of the lead @ 2:49 is way too low (I think it was supposed to be a lead instrument), which brings down that entire section. Starting @ 4:11 it gets a bit more interesting again. Then the tune ends a bit abruptly. Overall, good ideas, but it sounds half-cooked. |

Last Ninja Remix - Loading Theme - arranged by SolknightReview by Charlie Bravo, 04/04/2023 I love the ambivalent mood of this remix. It combines happiness, nostalgia and melancholy beautifully. Better or real instruments could probably even improve this remix but it stood the test of time quite well for a tune from 2003 and I'm still fond of it. |

Jaguar XJ220 - Moody Breeze - Speedy Breeze - arranged by CoupsReview by RomanoImigranto, 03/04/2023 Good job !! Choice of sounds gets you on unexpected time travel. I like the chords and lead sounds. The original sound of car engine its great at the beginning. As for me some drum parts could have been a little bit more varied. But overall very good aragment. |

Fist2 - The Legend Continues (feat. Vaggelis) - arranged by XxDUSTYxXReview by rnuls, 01/04/2023 Don't know the original song but this remix make me want to listen to. Anover inspired song. To me, the accompanying guitar is a little too loud, but nothing serious |
|
Boneless (Remix 3) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by LaLa, 31/03/2023 I like the alternating sax and guitar on the leads. The sax sounds pretty convincing to me. And yeah, Makke, I agree: that fadeout came out of nowhere and went too fast. Also, it would be nice if the drumtrack had more excitement to it throughout the tune. |

Scuba Kidz - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Gohanks, 28/03/2023 When you listen to the original SID it's very apparent that it's challenging to remix in a way to persist the original feel and put a touch of your personal style. Eivind managed to pull it of perfectly! I'm really amazed by how well this turned out 😃. The recurring background theme melody is very nostalgic, the delicate jazzy piano notes make it fresh, and the strong guitar and drums mix puts a great defining mark! Well done! 😃 |

Final Hyperbase a Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Isacco1975, 24/03/2023 If time machine were invented… This track should be played at mighty StudioZeta discoteque in Italy at that time! Great work! |
|
Midnight Resistance Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Isacco1975, 24/03/2023 A good one. I like it, a good upbeat of an amiga classic! Keep up going with new remixes man! |

Rise Up - arranged by SoundLogicReview by Isacco1975, 17/03/2023 Great stuff… Sounds a bit metal 😊 Very well arranged and very well mixed. This remix should have more positive ranking. |

Battle Squadron ingame - arranged by mafReview by Isacco1975, 16/03/2023 Maf, where are you gone afterBeyond the Pouet, Mafland, Zeeand your insane strange songs? |

Monday (Maf remake) - arranged by mafReview by Isacco1975, 16/03/2023 I am a fan of Maf's music. Since many years he disappeared (maf464) from Youtube. I started with his firstMaflandsong due to a mobile game called Fastball 2. |

Xmas Carol In The Nude - arranged by Curt CoolReview by Isacco1975, 15/03/2023 Anyway this remix makes me dancing on my chair 😊 And that is almost enough. This track is funny. |

Last Ninja The Wastelands Loader - arranged by CZ TunesReview by LaLa, 13/03/2023 Oh, so close to a red smilie! I really admire the effort of using mostly Asian (Chinese, Japanese) instruments, and they sound beautiful - but I'm bothered by the fact that you didn't go all-in and you left the arpeggios intact in several sections. The arrangement also sounds 'off' at places (for example, @2:10). All in all, very enjoyable, but I think there's more that could've been done here with a bit more attention to detail. |

Mobyle - arranged by StuReview by Isacco1975, 11/03/2023 I am not familiar with this tune, but I like those lounge sounds, especially the electric piano and the organs. It's all well mixed and every instrument is in the right place. Great mood 😊 |
|
Guitar Slinger - Second Part Remix - arranged by ElEcTrAReview by Isacco1975, 10/03/2023 A good remix, maybe I should change drums, but anyway the mood is amazing. Great atmosphere! I like it. |
|
Lizardking's Theme (Paid In Full) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by WizardOz, 05/03/2023 A faithfully remake of one of the best scene-melodies from the Amiga. Bringing it into the future with a great guitar-lead while having its roots from the 80's and 90's remain with crisp, clear synth-backing. A delight for the ears! |
|
Cracked Mission - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Nordischsound, 27/02/2023 I love every addition, your cover stick true to my intended vision but you added so much lovely stuff on the top like the great drumwork and that live guitar + solo 🤩🤗 |
|
Cracked Mission - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Frida Katarina, 27/02/2023 Fabulous, as is the original!! Turn it up!! Lovely guitar, made me really happy |

Turrican (Juno mix) - arranged by J LofReview by Charlie Bravo, 14/02/2023 I believe it's difficult to create a bad Turrican remix because the source material is already some of the greatest game music ever composed. I don't know how many times I listened to JLof's remix during the years but every now and then it comes up in my playlist and I put it on repeat for hours. It's enganging and relaxing at the same time. It's meditative, the perfect tune to get into a flow. |

Lightforce Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by LaLa, 14/02/2023 You need to loosen up. The instrumentation is fine, but this remix feels stiff and robotic. You need to change your playing style, and/or you need to create lead instruments that allow for more dynamic range when played. |
|
Delta Multi Genre - arranged by 0supereg0Review by LaLa, 14/02/2023 Those guitars in the intro - superb. I wish you didn't switch them out with synthy sounds. Really like your guitar noodling in the second half, too. |

Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road Medley - arranged by Luke McCreaReview by Soundspawner, 13/02/2023 Since you are a newcomer (me too by the way😉) It would be nice to give you a more in depth review. For a first remix this is quite good 😊 I really like the bass guitar. The mix is alright. It's very close to the original which is both good and not so good (nostalgia factor is high though) Some constructive criticism: - It's a bitbleaknot so much happening. - Also a bit repetitive but I know the original is quite repetitive as well. - mixing is OK but it could be opened upa bit, i.e. more panning would be nice, also a bit of EQ'ing (particularly the low and high end) - Good mastering will make it sound better as well - Instrument choice is a bit mehIMO too close to the original, the synths could use some layering. Same with the drums. - It could use some extra instruments (i.e. pads/strings, special fx) to make it sound bigger and more interesting. But again: this is quite a solid remix and I'm looking forward to more remixes 😊 Fat yellow smiley, close to orange. Keep it up! |

Led Storm Ambient Cover - arranged by moonoveReview by LaLa, 07/02/2023 That intro is so chillax and buttery smooth, it made me meld into my chair. I wish it continued in that fashion, but the appearance of the trance beat yanked me out of my meditative state. I still like it, though, because it's crafted in such a satisfying way. |

Sanxion Loader (Acoustic) - arranged by trvReview by hackerb9, 02/02/2023 While very different than the C64 SID tune, this cover was beautiful in its own way. And, to be fair, it is closer to the spirit of the original ProkofievRomeo and Juliet, of which Sanxionwas itself a reinterpretation. ¶ At the end of the original Sanxion SID, one can hear a repeated pattern: DAH dit-DAH-dit dit-dit-dit-DAH ¶In Morse that spells *TRV". I found this acoustic version (by TRV: Trev Bailey) while googling to find out why those letters are hidden in the song. ¶I think this is a lovely rendition and hope Trev remasters this recording to add in the secret Morse code at the end which just happens to spell his username! ¶If Trev does remaster the track, I would suggest also considering a few other things: ❶ Trev is a better guitar player than audio engineer, at least that was the case back in 2007 when this was recorded. Perhaps enlist some help for a remix? ❷ The atmospheric sounds effects, while a nice idea, were too obviously canned and didn't work for me. Maybe they could be subtler or removed? ❸ As some other reviews mentioned, the 64 second intro didn't lead the listener in as one would have hoped. Perhaps it can be reworked or shortened? ❹ Most of the guitar playing was sweet and evocative, but there were a couple tricky parts that were distracting and could use another take: 1:55-1:58 and 2:15-2:22. ¶ Overall, I enjoyed this immensely, but I cannot give it top marks due to the audio mixing stumbles. ❀ |

Ghosts'n Goblins Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by LaLa, 01/02/2023 I'm starting to think your artistic expression is limited by your gear. What you produce is not bad at all, but it could sound so much better. In this particular remix the arrangement is hampered by too much repetition in the rhythm sections - need some more variation there. Your lead and the changes in the lead instruments are good, it's the rest of it that needs a bit more love. |

Wizball - arranged by SoundLogicReview by LaLa, 01/02/2023 The arrangement is clever, weaving together many of the subtunes of the game's soundtrack. I think the instrumentation is probably the weakest point of this massive remix, it's a bit all over the place. Still, quite an impressive feat overall. |
