Pooyan (subtune 1) - arranged by WolkReview by Anbalsilfer, 19/11/2009 Listen to this mix.Then listen to the original. To actually take that crappy over-speeded piece of *#! and turn it into something not only listenable but both wildly amusing and quite catchy is nothing short of masterful! Kudos to Wolk for creating one of my favorite C64 remixes to date. |

Great Giana Sisters (PTTM Distortion Remix) - arranged by Sonic WandererReview by Anbalsilfer, 19/11/2009 This remix is so awesome compared to the original it is scary! Its feeling and style fits the original very well, possibly with the exception of the lead theme synth which feels slightly over the edge and out of place. The original song is also somewhat monotonous and bland, which this mix doesn't completely remedy. Still definitely one of the best remixes out there to date. |

Ghosts n' Goblins (from hell) - arranged by Mongo ErectusReview by Anbalsilfer, 19/11/2009 This is a dancefloor-style remix of ghosts'n'goblins that is quite different in feeling and style from the original, but still manages to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. The quality is a huge improvement from the original. In this case it is a good thing that the artist has dared to step away from the quirky SID qualities of the C64 as they don't really add to the musical value of this particular song like they do for for example the Commando signature theme. Not a lot of original arrangement added, but a masterful rework nonetheless. The ending feels a bit snubbed, though. |

Rampage - arranged by LManReview by Anbalsilfer, 19/11/2009 This is one of those rare remixes that takes a mediocre but still memorable original and turns it into something extraordinary. This remix adds a whole new sound to the tune. The remixer's artistic work is great. Unfortunately the original tune is somewhat bland and lacking in identity sometimes, a factor which the remix does not altogether manage to compensate for. Still, the improvement is so huge as to be barely credible. |

Lotus Turbo Challenge II - Intro - Turbo Disco Mix - arranged by Laín CoubertReview by Anbalsilfer, 19/11/2009 This remix gives you simply more of the same friggin' awesomeness that was the original song, and does a good job of it. A new intro is the main novelty here, but it makes all the difference, allowing this great tune to be carried over from the Amiga to the club dancefloor. |

Space Harrier - arranged by dokmatikReview by Anbalsilfer, 19/11/2009 This is easily one of the best old classic arcade remixes I have ever heard. The original Space Harrier theme was quite catchy and memorable, but a bit lacking in genre identity. Dokmatik has created a version that retains the original catchiness and even increases the tension of suspense of the original, while successfully introducing the song into a genre where it fits extremely well: naïve retro-psychedelic sci-fi. This arrangement qualifies for the very top of sci-fi signature themes in my view.The chord sequence in the transition between the introduction and the main theme is nothing short of ingenious. This is one of those rare remixes where nothing has been lost, but the final result adds several new layers that harmonize perfectly with the original. Fabulous work! |
