Grand Prix Circuit - arranged by Dr Future

Review by ifadeo, 24/05/2004

what a nice smooth 90's minimal-techno remix, it contains a real nice intro, a very nice bridge starting at 2:11 which ends in great break… he used a clever selection of typical techno instruments, and as a contrast some nice 'car in motion' samples. allover it's a bit easy listing techno to my ears, but i don't want to belittle volker's very good work… the remix sounds commercial, very chart compatible… 😉

720 Degrees (Still Loading) - arranged by Juha Kaunisto

Review by ifadeo, 08/12/2003

well, this remix and his zoids remix are two of the best remixes of 2003. it makes a difference, if real guitars used instead of virtual guitarist or slayer… nothing against those progy's… but i prefer real guitars! in this piece of punk-art you can hear a lot of noisy guitars, sounding punk'ish and that's good it fits perfect to the orginal tune…

overall it's a very authentic outstanding punk production, the only weak point: it's to short…

are they days of poser-heavy-metal all over??? i hope so… 😉

Saboteur II - revisited - arranged by Marcel Donné

Review by ifadeo, 03/12/2003

i don't like rob hubbard's orginal, it's sounds a bit weird…
… but marcel shows us what it needs to recreate something fresh out of a mediocre sidtune: a stimulating bass, a cute cs80 lead (i'm right, marcel?), and some real nice sequencer-lines…

the only weak point(IMO) is that deep pad sound starting at 3:45, the pad dominates and i can't hear anymore those nice little sounds & beeps in the background, behind the FAT pad sound… but who cares…😉

overall it's a fantastic synth-pop composition…

thank you for the music… marcel

Feud (Herb garden remix) - arranged by Infamous

Review by ifadeo, 20/11/2003

together with his human race remix, this mix is one of my favorite remixes
from infamous, he's getting his very own style.. everything but cute… 😉
the remix got some real good sounds and a moving bassline, overall a good remix.
i'm wondering that his remixes got such low ratings at R:K:O:…

Chak's first attempt doing a c64 remix and his remix is really felicitous…

Illgen (groovy-trancey-gangsta-jazz-mix) - arranged by Putzi

Review by ifadeo, 20/11/2003

well, putzi did again a cover of another unkown sid, this time he takes a tune
from stefan hartwig… putzi has done a great job, a good selection of sounds,
textures and a real good production, it's his best remix so far in my opinion.

Last Ninja 2 Central Park (full direct cover-mix) - arranged by Putzi

Review by ifadeo, 05/05/2003

Well, this is NOT just another Last Ninja 2 remix…
A good selection of Sounds and a clever way to place
them, putzi catch the spirit of 80's and it sounds in
my Ears a little bit like, New Order esp. the bassline.

From all Last Ninja remixes which appear in the last time
at R:K:O:, this is one of my favorites!!!

off-topic: btw. did you know subtune 1 has exactly the
same bassline, funny…😉
