Comic Bakery (feat Hanna Kappelin & Morpheus) - arranged by o2Review by Kenz, 17/05/2004 Oh my GOD!! This utterly, utterly, UTTERLY beautiful cover of Comic Bakery practically game me a JOYGASM the first time I heard it!!! I'm a huge fan of 80's electro / synth tracks (and the works of Mr Jarre of course) so hearing this piece was like having everything I like in a piece of music injected directly into my brain!!The vocals are a VERY nice touch and the section of the tune where everything seems to go wrong and conk out is brilliantly done and definitely appeals to my somewhat warped sense of humour. The tune soon picks itself up after that and delivers and thoroughly lovely cover of Comic Bakery with fantastic powerful synth lead sounds, classy vocals, superb Kraftwerk-esque percussion, sexy sequencers and lots of other assorted ear-candy. Oh and it's a Galway track too - things just don't get much better than this! To sum up, this is possibly one of the finest covers of Comic Bakery I've ever heard and this is definitely one of my favourite Commodore 64 remixes released in 2004 so far. Well done to everyone involved with this remix, it's gonna be a tough one to top I reckon!

Paradise (Mellow Fairlight Ganga-Bung Rmx) - arranged by DHSReview by Kenz, 24/04/2004 I just couldn't resist writing a few words about this superbly BIZARRE remix. It's almost as if DHS has tapped into my bonkers mind and is playing back what goes through my head. I truly ADORE the mangled lyrics in this tune and the dance treatment of the Fairlight tune works really well. This is completely loopy stuff and I LOVE IT! Excellent work DHS.Nuff said. |

Mega Apocalypse - arranged by N-JOYReview by Kenz, 24/04/2004 Ahhh, this takes me back. I can remember the first time I heard this remix and it blew BOTH my socks off! If memory serves this was done around the era of Cher and her deliberately-wonky auto-tuned lyrics (which I actually rather liked) so to hear that effect in a C64 remix was definitely inspired. Hats off to Njoy for that one!This remix, to me, was a defining moment in the C64 remix scene. It was one of the first commercial-sounding remixes to have vocals applied to it and it worked brilliantly - enhancing an already funky remix of the tune. It definitely pushed the envelope as far as C64 remixes were concerned and paved the way for an influx of high quality sounding tracks with vocals that were to follow. *Genius* |

Terra Cresta Remix - arranged by RazmoReview by Kenz, 04/03/2004 After hearing this remix I just couldn't resist putting finger to keyboard and tapping in some enthusing about this fantastic reworking of Galway's mighty Terra Cresta title theme.Razmo has delivered a pounding remix with a solid beat that always induces foot-tapping from me, superb atmospheric sound effects and cool vocoded speech (which I always enjoy hearing injected into remixes). There's some nice Jarre-esque noises in this mix too which also gets the thumbs up from me (as I'm a huge Jarre fan). It's always nice when a remixer produces something that does justice to the original SID tune and Razmo has hit the nail firmly on the head with this baby. This comes close to surpassing the Back in Time 2 mix of this tune which I've always thought was be the definitive remix of the track - and that's saying something! Very nice work Razmo, I look forward to hearing more remixes from you. |
