Dan Dare 3 - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by BeeZerk, 08/08/2025 I'm really torn on this one, because it's one of my favorite SIDs of all time. I love the appearance! Production-wise, it's a 10 out of 10 for a 1:1 rendition, no doubt about it. But to be honest, that's not the hardest part nowadays.What I dislike—or rather, what I miss—is the lack of originality and a personal signature from Tim. I know he's capable of that, because we can hear it after minute 3:12! This SID offers the best foundation, incredible potential, and virtually infinite versatility. Yet this rendition feels onlylike an effortless direct translation of the original arrangement, and Tim misses the chance to make it truly his own. That’s what makes my heart bleed! In its current form, it’s more of a crowd-pleaser than a piece of art with its own soul or identity. Nevertheless, it’s still a very good rendition—just not exceptional in my eyes (or ears). |

Empty (Amiga MOD Remix) - arranged by acrouzetReview by BeeZerk, 25/01/2024 What an atmospheric piece! Blown away by the additional/alternated bassline towards the end.You recognise the original immediately but it's still innovative enough to be individual, Love it! Stunning work! |

Artillery (Heavy Punk Artillery) - arranged by Dan TootillReview by BeeZerk, 22/04/2023 Wow, what a great combination of clear and airy Lead, Arp, Pad and THAT Bass! The Rhythm is quite simple but groovy and moving as hell. What more can i say, i love what i hear and for me the track of the year so far! Lovely, thank you Dan! |

Uppercut (I put my life on it) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by BeeZerk, 16/01/2022 Beautiful composition of sounds and vocals. Everything fits well together. Good chosen sounds and the overall quality is superb. I adore the stereo mono friskyness and that particular funk feeling the tune is soaked in. Thank you for this elaborated piece, i really dig this! |

Spy Vs Spy (Spy Disco Spy Remix) - arranged by Stello DoussisReview by BeeZerk, 06/01/2022 Every aspect of this tune is technically well thought out and executed in perfection. Harmonious composition of sounds and effects. The original is implemented more than recognizable which gives the tune a very highnostalgic credibility. Much time and effort spend to create such an elaborate piece of modern but still retroesque electronic music. Ingenius resembled that 70's sound and feel. Overall sound is crisp and clear. Pro Work! Very enjoyable and entertaining. A tune to remember. |
