Blood Money Title - daXX 80s Remix - arranged by daXX offline
Review by nzo, 30/04/2008
Although this wasn't a track that had a lot of remix potential - at least not in the musical sense, this is a fairly good attempt non-the-less. The original was written in about 90 minutes as an exercise in checking out the capabilities of a new tracker, where larger samples were permitted for the first time, thus was really a proving test. Unfortunately, it ended up on a demo disk which found it's way into Psygnosis, and because of the pure luck of the sample" content, it ended up being used for an appropriately named game - with a couple of tweeks. Don't be too harsh on the original, as Dr Future says… it was a first for it's kind. The original was definately a marmite track - love it or hate it… but this is an extremely brave and commendable attempt at recreating the old 80's feel of the original. Music can be faddish, and this was definately right at the time… but ages badly - however, the author has done very well to retain the essence (where the hell did you get the HQ voice samples - lol) and provide a very acceptable variation on the original. Fans of the original will like it for sure, but the uninitiated will no doubt be clueless… that also includes < 30 year olds😊
