Delta Multi Genre - arranged by 0supereg0

Review by monty, 10/01/2023

It starts (and ends) GREAT with that guitar play that strongly reminded me of Wilco's How to fight loneliness. Would have loved the whole track to be treated in that laid back style. The sandwiched part is not bad either, but a litte bit too generic for my taste. However, I very much enjoyed your remix! Recover well soon!

ACE 2 (Danger Zone Edit) - arranged by Dr Future

Review by monty, 22/10/2022

Totally not my style but I love it! IMHO the best DRF remix ever, at least production-wise. I can see almost no weaknesses, could have been taken right from the Best-of-the-80s radio station. Great embedding of the vocals (you get used to the lyrics after a few listens) and an insanely slick guitar solo that's not only there to show-off but perfectly fits and enhances the track's energy (although being a quite free interpretation of the original sequence).

Microprose Soccer (Chug it) - arranged by Slaygon

Review by monty, 19/07/2021

This one is a grower! I think it deserved a better result in the compo and I can only speculate that the slow build-up maybe doesn't work extremely well for a compo entry. However, regarding the slow build-up I think the goosebump-inducing main part (from 2:30 on) should have been extended. Btw. I bought the game back then and I cannot remember that tune at all hence the low nostalgia factor…😉

Loopz (Radiowellen Mix) - arranged by ifadeo

Review by monty, 17/02/2003

I like this remix very much. It comes cool and decent but has underlying power. You can feel the floating energy. And it's so beautifully electronic! 😉
At first listen you may find that it has some wrong sounding edges but if you are going deeper into this tune you will discover that they are a necessary part of the song's soul.

My expectations of a good remix are to catch the spirit of the original tune and maybe to upgrade it to another lever. ifadeo accomplished that, even if, in this case, I listended to the original sid AFTER listening to the remix.

Overall a great contribution to R:K:O.
