Bruce Lee (Psycho Mix) - arranged by Bart Klepka

Review by puppet_xeno, 07/04/2005

I am not offended by the lack of technical or artistic creativity, as I agree on the drums emphasizing the strength of the original sidtune and the original Bruce Lee (the Dude!) samples to state the nostalgia of this entirety. Overall this mix pleases me, really! yet as an artist I must say more could have been done with extra synths and better, more dynamic and/or more persuasive drum sounds.

IK+ (Chemical Stadium Remix) - arranged by DHS

Review by puppet_xeno, 06/04/2005

The screaming audience samples make this mix sound so over-the-top it almost becomes ridiculous. But it's a very original approach and it did give me goosebumps at some points, and that's mainly positive. It sounds very lively and because of this it is easily overlooked that the rest of the production isn't VERY innovative and would get a bit boring as it's just a lot of repeating patterns - nevertheless I can really enjoy listening to it. Brings back memories and places them in a different light.

Caverns of Khafka (Thriller mix) - arranged by dor-x

Review by puppet_xeno, 05/04/2005

The acoustic-instrument tracks greatly add to the dreariness of the original tune. Although the percussion sounds are somewhat too dry to my taste, overall this mix summons the same kind of spookyness as the original game.
