Quel plaisir de réentendre ce morceau remixé avec goût. La ligne de basse est impeccable, les sons très bien choisis, les breaks originaux, un remix de grande qualité pour un morceau injustement connu.

J'adorais l'original. Ce remix est vraiment sympa, la guitare sonne un peu agressive mais les sirènes, les crissements de pneu, le solo participent à créer une ambiance vraiment sympa.

SuperFrog - World 4 - arranged by groovebox

Review by onlineamiga, 17/01/2019

Music is always subjective as we all like different stuff. But listening to this was like a rollercoaster of oooh!! i like and ooooh maybe not. I love the electro backing music, and the drops etc. Sounds great. But maybe using a harder synth sound instead of the original flute sound for the main tune might have given it more power. I also think the tempo is a little too fast for this tune. But hey these are just how I hear it. No reflection on ability and I absolutely love the fact that people like yourself are making awesome remixes of great Amiga tracks 😊 Please keep making more stuff! I wanna hear more!

Test Drive II Remix - arranged by CZ Tunes

Review by Sada, 09/10/2018

It's a good remix of a very simple melody and music which was awesome because of the bass line, the digitized speech and motor noise synchronized with the graphics of the game intro. I like how you maintain the last note of the main theme. Good job!

Shadow of the Beast (Guitar Edit) - arranged by SoundLogic

Review by MoonshineFox, 30/07/2018

I've never been a fan of remixes or remasters where you can clearly hear the original tune playing in the background as a sound carpet and then adding modern sounds on top of it. Whether this track does that or not is actually hard to say, but for the first 30 seconds or so it absolutely sounds like the original track just overlayed with some synths and then the guitar coming in. The guitar playing itself is accurate and follows the melody competently, but it lacks something engaging. It's clear that it's trying occasionally to make something outside of a middling recording, and those moments are absolutely great! It just feels like there could be more to really carry this beyond ok into great. Adding in the back synths at about 2 minutes helps in lifting it and here the guitars portamento becomes more clear and helps lift the track, but again the mixing makes it muddy and takes the edge of the sounds, further pushing it towards flat and bland. I think it's a great attempt and I still do enjoy it, but it could be so much better and lively. This is just my personal opinion however. Don't be discouraged! And don't pass up listening just because some old grump has some complaints.😉

Pinball Dreams (Beatbox Remix) - arranged by Aknotronic

Review by MoonshineFox, 30/07/2018

Following on the intro, I was hesitant to really call it great and was about to give it a lower score than I ultimately did. The solid 80's tracker-style drums really meshed perfectly with the synths and sounds chosen for the pad, the lead and everything, leading to a piece that is greater than a sum of its parts. I definitely enjoyed it, and it manages to capture the essence and dream-factor of the original. It could be more engaging and technically complex, but overall I think it was very good work!

Chuck Rock Theme (REVISITED) - arranged by Lolo from GP

Review by MoonshineFox, 30/07/2018

It's a good remix insomuch as it's professionally put together. I don't find it overly engaging personally however. It's lacking something to make me really jump on it. I can't tell if it's in the mixing or the arrangement or if it's simply not to my taste, but it feels somewhat bland. (It might also be my lack of nostalgia for the game, as I really never got into the Chuck Rock series). Overall technically good, mixing is a bit muddy and song is very well arranged.

Another World Ending - arranged by Szudi

Review by neglesaks, 14/07/2018

A fair shot at a remix, but just as the tune gets real interesting about the 1m mark, it loses its tone in the latter half where it turns into a jumble of style impressiouns that come and go without adding much to the overall flow. The latter half is in my opinion overshadowed by the beat. This is not a bad composition, however it shows how specific minor variations in the choice of f. x. the level of an instrument can have a major effect on the outcome.

Another World (End Theme Remix) - arranged by Mano

Review by neglesaks, 14/07/2018

Artistically, this must be one among the best that the Remix community has on offer. It's faithful to the original and shows a creative flair in transforming and adding to it in a way that just hits the spot. Where the original tune was relatively fast-paced, Mano pulls its tempo down significantly and in adding new instruments quite different from the game's original two, manages to produce a varied and rich remix with the insert passages going together well with the main tune with only minor spots that stand out. Well done Mano. (edit: 17/7-2018)

Desert Dream Part One v3 - arranged by pinozulpo

Review by ZXDunny, 10/03/2018

The use of strings rather than the pipes evokes more of a Scottish theme than Egyptian, and that's no bad thing - pipes are generally overused and Desert Dreams was no exception. This is every bit as epic as the original and a real accomplishment.

Hero Quest - Piano - arranged by PTY

Review by alankila, 06/03/2018

I listened to this track and the original Amiga track from Barry Leitch, and created a piano score that is bit of a hybrid between the two. https://bel. fi/alankila/sheet-music/HeroQuestIngame. pdf I like this soulful, expressive arrangement a lot. It must have been decades since I heard the original Barry Leitch Amiga version, and I had forgotten most of it. I was surprised to discover that much of this track is directly lifted from the Amiga mod. It felt just impossible considering how mechanical the Amiga track sounds like! This piano arrangement is stunningly emotional and fantastic reinterpretation of the mood of the song. It calls in mind something similarly absolutely beautiful, perhaps Tim Forsyth's Flight Path 737 comes close (and which can be heard elsewhere on this site). In fairness, the original material is severely constrained technically because of its small file size and long play length that requires a slow tempo, and it uses just 3 channels, leaving one for the sound effects of the game. I guess the composition is also a tad simplistic, mostly using just 2 chords and rhythmically nothing more complicated than eighth notes, though I admit that they are placed very nicely. I hope the piano score is useful for someone. The directory contains the MuseScore 2 project file as well, if someone wants to take a look at that.
