Rings Of Medusa - The Last Crusade ReMIX - arranged by seVeneleVen

Review by Grant, 11/03/2014

This remix feels like 3 takes which have been bookended into a single song.

The first 2 minutes of this remix sound like what the original Amiga version was trying to be.

The middle portion is decently composed. The original was a more emotive, haunting tune that doesn't feel quite right turned into something so up-tempo and energetic.

The intermission at the 6:40 mark seems to have no purpose except to stretch out an already too long song an extra 2.5 minutes.

Rings of Medusa - arranged by Max Levin

Review by Grant, 26/02/2014

Rings of Medusa re-imagined as a raver tune.

The original ROM was haunting and cries out for a modern, polished remake. This mix is the opposite of that.

Frenetic bass dominates the song. An organ opens with the classic ROM hook, and makes a guest appearance near the end, but otherwise the tune is mostly banging. Any other melody could have done as well in its place.
