Lightforce (Power Remix) - arranged by Markus HollerReview by eliot, 20/03/2003 This is Markus second remix and nice done. The tune has some sad touch… but anyone shall interpret the original in her/his way. Thesssh-fx are much too loud especially starting at 1:48 and 2:43 and also the background-noise (especially on the end) is quite interfering. This tune is hard to vote because it's on the border between good and very good. To be on the border is still good, so please pardon me |

International Karate (Tasty Dance Mix) - arranged by YziReview by eliot, 20/03/2003 Yzi shows up new into the arranger listHe/She does a nice work, for my taste a bit too close to the originial and a lack of own inspiration. |

Delta (Live) - arranged by Noviello PippoReview by eliot, 11/03/2003 After Mr. Pippos great Delta spanish guitar Remix, I look forward for this download, but was a lot disapointed. It's an electronic quite dance remix and I have no idea how it was recorded… maybe with a microphone 20m away… Also he played some notes completly wrong Maybe, next time think about uploading such stuff. |

Delta (Spanish Guitar - Final mix) - arranged by Noviello PippoReview by eliot, 11/03/2003 The final remix of Mr. Pippo Delta, is really outstanding. The only negative is the volume of the trumpet, it's a bit too loud and stereo-panorama is not extended as it could be. |

Delta (Spanish guitar) - arranged by Noviello PippoReview by eliot, 11/03/2003 Here we have an outstanding peace of music. This version is the shortpreviewof the Final Mix- so grab the longer one |

VoidNoid - arranged by traumaReview by eliot, 11/03/2003 A promising, powerful beginning, nice fades/crosses from/of Arkanoid Title to/and The Last V8. My only wish is an extended version of about 3:50 And yes, next time enter valueable infos into the MP3-tag. thanx. |

Hypa-ball - arranged by DjLizard offlineReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 LaLa: you are not the only one believing SID-tunes have souls But no, the soul went not away by this mix, because I always thought that is what I missed on the original tune. I love it |
|
Rambo and Bombo on Impossible Mission (unplugged) - arranged by MahoneyReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 Too strange for me but not bad at all LaLa wroteIt is one of those crazy remixes that is either the work of a genious or a madman. I know Mahoney is a genious but this tune goes to the mad side. |
|
Task III (Hum along with the task) - arranged by Trace & MahoneyReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 I do not agree with Beldin's vote nor LaLa's statement that this tune can only remix worse. Taste is different for everyone. But from my view of sight, this work is outstanding. Task III is really a task to remix and it gets the flair of the original SID, even with some strange FX (the original SID is strange itself ). Great Work. |
|
M.U.L.E. (Aerobics in the jungle mix) - arranged by MahoneyReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 LaLa: we rate it so high, because it's great, really outstanding. Of course not everyone like this style - but for me it's one of the best remixes ever I wish more arrangers would do such salads, even when they are done only for me |
|
Comic Bakery (Larger than Pop Boyband mix) - arranged by PRESS PLAY ON TAPEReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 There are so many reviews now, I can just say: This remix kicks ass. And if you have not seen the video, you missed a lot |
|
Armageddon Man (Vocal Jazz feat. Karin Öjehagen) - arranged by MahoneyReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 The first time I listend to it, I thoughtWOW- one of the best remixes ever. There are no words they can express how good it is. |
|
Firelord - Symphonic - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 The orchestral attempt was a really good idea, but the samples do not reflect a real orchester, the most instruments sound too flat. |
|
Space Harrier (Cooksley vs Bach Mix) - arranged by Karl R PettersenReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 Why upload an abandoned, buggy work? This makes no sense, it seems the arranger does not like it at all. The strange lead starting at 1:11 is one of the bugs (at least the choosen instrument). Any one remember the decent pseudo-drums in the original SID? Next time Karl, complete the work or trash it. But at least I like the end |
|
Jinks Rebound - arranged by Krister NielsenReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 It seems that many of the arrangers run out of ideas. To replace the drums and copy the leads from the original is no artistic improvement. My voting always reflects the Artistic Impression and there is less I can vote for - even when it's quite ok to listen. |
|
C64 Turrican 2 Summer Remix - arranged by Markus SieboldReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 I was not a fan of the originial SID and this version does not kick. It's quite ok, but very much repeations, no variations, lead is more in background than leading… quite boring for me, a tune just downloaded, voted and forgotten. |
|
Last Ninja Remix (A Ninja By Night Remix) - arranged by Eric DelosReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 I need to load the original SID to believe, it has anything to do with Reyn's Last Ninja, indeed I found something… but it can not count as remix. As LaLa already mentionend.. no beginning, no end, especially a abrupt end (does not even loop correctly)… really boring. |
|
Ocean Loader 2 (Dance X-Periment) - arranged by Sonic WandererReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 A very nice dance-remix and I feel happy while listening, I guess that was the intention. The Arpeggio was quite in shape compared to the original SID (yes, I did). For a real dance-track the introduction is much too long, but there is shadow where is sun |
|
Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 I was loughing at the first second A really great and awesome attempt to create a individual piece of music full of energy and feelings. |
|
The Last Ninja (clouded mind version) - arranged by mymessedupmindReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 Very nice, minimalistic attempt to create something besidetraditionalremixes. For my taste it fits, but without the special kick and too hard drums. |
|
Parallax (JunoPowerMix!) - arranged by SumegiReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 aaargh, my ears… never heard that high and wrong notes on the original SID. The arranger had a lack of phantasy - flat, no flair - just cold, boring synth. Even Reason could do much better. |
|
Arkanoid (version x mix) - arranged by FTCReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 I appreciate new views of songs - even quite strange attempts like this - the original flair was gone, but overall itfeelsgood. I can not describe my feelings, but somehow this track touched me. There are some crackles and a noticeable background noise at the end of the track and of course I miss mp3-tags (Jan, just press alt& 3in winamp) I'm not sure what Nostalgic Impressionreally means… the quality of nostalgic seems a bit odd to me - maybe someone can explain that to me, but it does not count for my voting anyways. |
|
Miami Vice Loada - arranged by MistaDistahReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 Hmm… I have grown up… I catch the flair of this song. Maybe I was in a bad mood 1 1/2 years ago and I have to reevalute my judging 😉 I guess the end is still a bit out of phase, but overall grandious(edited 2004-08-31) |

Arabian Zoids (Themed Solo) - arranged by LarsecReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 Besides the female voice there is nothing reallyarabianin this song. I like the voices very much, and I wished they where much longer and the leading instruments have been converted to this style too, 3:25 to 3:53 was at least a start or shall I say a trySome of the individual chunksat the end of the track do not need to make sense, but they feel wrong, Rambo at the beginning fits fine for me The stereo profile of the lead instruments is not existent and the low mp3 rate does not satisfy me. (I listen any music always with my headphones (Sennheiser SD590).) Besides a small glitch at 5:50 and the individual chunkson the end, this track is technically good. The guitar solo is a highlight for me but also sounds a bit Mike Oldfield to me😉 - a SID-cover does not need to be a 1:1 cover, but should transport the flair of the C64. Zoids is one of my all time favourites so the nostalgic impression has to be a 6. 0 |
