Gauntlet III vs Plok - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by hillsman, 01/03/2022 After some excellent remixes in 2021, it is great to see Tim back with this absolutely belting tribute to his namesake, Tim Follin. While I personally don't hear a lot of Gauntlet 3 in this before 3:39, it is unmistakably Follin-esque and an absolute joy to listen to. Great work overall! We are most privileged. And a nice nod to the Plok OST if anyone hasn't heard it. |

Afterburner (High Energy Prog Mix) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by hillsman, 19/01/2022 First ever review for me. Afterburner was the first full price game I bought for C64 - it was a game my dad wanted to play! While the game was very much OK, the music was super. And while there are a couple of good remixes out there, this is simply spot on. It kicks off sounding just like original SID, then we get the drums, the guitars, that simple, yet effective bass……and the tempo is perfect. Thank you Peter - my fav remix for 2021. |

Bubble Bobble (Live!) - arranged by Hampshire Regional High SchoolReview by hillsman, 20/07/2006 Brilliant! Absolutely love this! Wonder who's in the audience as they seem to be loving it too! Main theme accurately reproduced with lots of humour - then we have the invincibility music (which gets a big cheer) followed by the New Zealand story ingame music Great stuff and a lot of fun!! |

Delta Ingame ('97 XG mix) - arranged by Chris AbbottReview by hillsman, 06/07/2006 Obviously an arrangement rather than a remix, but when we're talking about Delta's in-game epic then this is definitely a good thing! I was blown away when I heard Hubbard's masterpiece almost 20 (!!) years ago and no SID is listened to more.Chris' arrangement re-produces the original with impressive accuracy and is more than good enough to warrant repeated listening. My main complaint? A lack of power and impact during the opening minutes, particularly the baseline. Addressing this would make it perfect for me. Love the string section at the end though - great arrangement overall! |
