Ghosts n Goblins Valse (Lost Chopin Recording) - arranged by Bluefugue

Review by larsec, 02/03/2004

I think this remix deserves a lot more credit thatn what it got when it was released… It is indeed funny It's only one minute long but the idea is brilliant and the old scratchy record sound completes the picture… Thumbs up for a great idea well done…

Terra Cresta Remix - arranged by Razmo

Review by larsec, 02/03/2004

I have special ties to Galway's original of this tune. I am not one of those people who believes you should necisarilly hold true to the original when making a remix… But to me Terra Cresta is one of the rythmicly most brilliant SIDs I have ever heard. So to hear Razmo take that rythm and totally disregard it, exchanging the 3/4 measurement for a 4/4 and then not change the rythm of the lead the same way… It makes the melody sound totally chaotic and random. To me it sounds like he has no idea what he is doing, as if he doesn't know the original is 3/4 measurement. This might not be true, but that is what it sounds like…
If you like that sort of thing I suppose this would be a good remix, but when you hold such a high opinion of the original because of the rythm, this remix is just awful…
So eventhough it's nice to see someone trying to experiment with this SID I feel this remix is a total failure…

On an ending note: Razmo's original additions, however, are brilliant, I love them… I think he should take those and make an original track based around those…
