Super Cars 2 - arranged by FastLoadersReview by Ryrynz, 09/10/2019 Sounds great but there's a few places where it just doesn't quite capture the original tune. |
|
Turrican II - Desert Rocks (ft. Chris Hülsbeck, from Back in Time Live 2018) - arranged by FastLoadersReview by Ryrynz, 09/10/2019 I like this, but the guitar work isn't as good as your other track, you miss a few parts and skip some notes but still sounds fine, nice and meaty. Again that synth doesn't work well that well. 1:21 - 3:00 is the best part. I'd really like to hear a more aggressive version of this. |

Turrican II - Traps (ft. Chris Hülsbeck, from Back in Time Live 2018) - arranged by FastLoadersReview by Ryrynz, 09/10/2019 That guitar work was incredible! The drums were great too, would've preferred a bit more emphasis on the synth in places and the synth sounds, a little less than ideal for this track but overall it's pretty great. |

Dutch Breeze/Robocop 3 (Progressive Uplift) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by Ryrynz, 05/04/2019 This has everything going for it. Beautiful beat, beautiful synth, effects fit in perfectly.. One of my all time favourites. No Emotion or energy? It's infectious! How can you not want to get your groove on listening to this? |

The Antics (ambient mix) - arranged by ColmarrReview by Ryrynz, 03/04/2019 Taking inspiration from the second quarter segment of the original SID and building up it, it crafts a powerful remix that which doesn't encompass all the original tune has to offer does a remarkable job with what it has. The most memorable part of the SID was taken, wonderfully re-created and given a nice long dark synth build up. Well done. I feel that if the lead up was shorter people would've rated this higher, but I love it. You should do a slight variation of it that includes the other parts of the tune. |

Comic Bakery - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 2000 really was your year wasn't it? Would be really cool to hear you make these again now. Very enjoyable to listen to and of course super nostalgic.. |
|
Last Ninja (extended) - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 If this was done by anyone else I don't think it would work quite as well as it does. Rating it badly because you don't like club style mixes is bad form, one of the best remixes from 2000. |
|
Ocean Loader V2 - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by Ryrynz, 25/03/2019 Capturing the feel of the original and even one upping it in a way only a handful of other remixers are capable of. Incredible job. |
|
Xenon 2 - Megablast (2017 Oldschool Mix) - arranged by HurryKnReview by Ryrynz, 28/11/2018 Keeps very much in line with the original but adds so much more.. Gonna be hard to top this. |
|
Thrust - arranged by JBReview by Ryrynz, 04/10/2017 OOOH Yeah, right from the intro.. JAZZY. Sonic Casino vibes, just all comes together real nice. |

Nine Lives - arranged by MRTReview by Ryrynz, 17/07/2017 Things get serious at 5:17, never heard this track before but this remix works very well with this tune. A stand out remix of the year IMO. After listening to this a few times I now would love to hear a similar yet heavier version that goes on for a bit longer after it steps up past 5:17 |

Turrican 2 - Freedom - arranged by NeriousReview by Ryrynz, 08/11/2013 Ziphoid hit the nail on the head, I want the epic Turrican chuck in some better mixing too.Dance intro was okay, enough to get me interested, then at 1. 30 The Turrican cometh and I was like I'M FEELING IT, THIS IS TEH TURRICANAnd I waited for the continuation of more epicness but then @ 3 mins it was back to dance and I was like OH :'( missed opportunity. Give me the Turrican feels dude, I know you can do it, just balance it out right, it doesn't quite have the same impact as the original or perhaps quite the same impact I want it to have. I don't think anyone has quite nailed Freedom yet, you might be able to give it the attention it deserves. |
|
Great Giana Sisters - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by Ryrynz, 03/11/2013 Obviously one of the best remixes of this tune ever. No wonder it was used in the Giana Sisters:Twisted Dreams game. |

Turrican 2: Freedom - Western Remix - arranged by AmiGamerReview by Ryrynz, 04/09/2013 Look at the end of the day this sounds pretty good.. I don't get you guys bashing the nostalgia and the technique which are obviously actually not bad. I've decided to up my vote to a review to offset just how ridiculous many of you have voted.Ugh I hate it so everything gets bad facestype reviews.. Just listen again.. breathe and actually review it on it's merits not on your disgust.. As AmiGamer said I was hoping for people to vote for the idea of combining these two songs, rather than for the technical performance.And that's what I'm doing. |

1942 (Orchestral) - arranged by Miguel F EttemaReview by Ryrynz, 19/07/2013 I think this is quite possibly the best remix ever done.Everything is pretty much perfect. Takes the original and makes is golden. I don't know how some of you guys only rate this as good for minor things, I've seen goodremixes sound nowhere near what this manages to pull off. Good for not being perfect? C'mon! |

Coloris - daXX Remix - arranged by daXX offlineReview by Ryrynz, 01/03/2013 Melody lead is crap? I don't think so! I'm pretty picky about such things and I feel it suits quite well. There is no denying that the background beat effects are what makes this tune, so punchy, invoking and interesting.One of my favorite Daxx tunes right beyond his Lotus remixes and Paranoimia. The last minute's synth reminds me a bit of Flashback in some ways which is nice. I think with some tweaking this tune could be amazing but what it is right now I still consider to be top notch, I do wish it had a bit more clarity though, Daxx, any chance of getting something a little less compressed and in a high bitrate? I want a V2! |

Ocean Loader 2 - arranged by MordiReview by Ryrynz, 27/02/2013 I love how this remix progresses it really brings you into the song! Totally mellow but powerful too.This does the SID proud, it's the best Ocean loader remix so far, yes you have topped Instant Remedy with this one. I love that it's over 5 minutes long too! And that progression at 3. 45,, OMG. Chick chick chick… CHICK AHHH. |
|
Lightforce 2004 - arranged by Darren LambourneReview by Ryrynz, 09/01/2013 This works so well, it's an amazing tune and all the instruments work perfectly together. I wish it had a bit more clarity and a higher bitrate but I can't complain. One of my favorite remixes, totally hoping for a V2. |

Turrican II (Concerto For Laser And Enemies Enhanced Mix) - arranged by Peter WReview by Ryrynz, 22/12/2012 I love how upbeat this is, such great instrument choices overall really making this tune sound modern. I know Hülsbeck himself has remixed this a few times but I actually prefer this over any his own remixes so that's saying something. It's more a beautiful enhancement of the original more than a remix and for that reason it's my favourite Concerto on this site. A few improvements could be made however, the drums at 0. 10 being a tad too light and the back beat a tad too heavy this would bring it a little more in line with the original if keeping with enhancing it rather than remixing, the original feels less bogged down but otherwise I love it. |

Turrican 2 - I FART IN TURRICANS GENERAL DIRECTION - arranged by ScareCrowReview by Ryrynz, 11/11/2012 I think this is one of those remixes you're either going to love/like or hate, personally upon listening to it for a bit I couldn't help but grin, the first few seconds give you a good idea of what's to come.This remix is an audacious cacophony of sound effects as such it's not your typical remix. All caution is thrown to the wind in this all out fart fest which I feel from 0. 50 really starts to shine, LOL. |

Sweet - arranged by Marcel DonnéReview by Ryrynz, 01/06/2012 You can't beat Lala's review it covers just about everything. I feel this remix does the original tune more justice than Mordi's version which by all means is great but this needs to sit higher where it is on the charts in comparison so here's myreviewThis blends amazingly well.. I wish it had the clarity of Mordi's version but oh well, love it anyway. |

Alibi (steady-state remix) - arranged by Patrick [Major Minor] CeuppensReview by Ryrynz, 06/01/2012 Just sounds a bit too shallow and repetitive for my liking, the clapping gets a bit annoying, the background beat sounds a bit overbearing and the lead is whiny and without any passion. I actually think this is one of the weaker sounding remixes of this tune. I actually prefer listening to the original SID. I like Darkman's remix a lot more. |
|
The Alibi Cover - arranged by Darkman007Review by Ryrynz, 21/10/2011 Masterful how apt that word is to this arrangement. My brother does guitar recordings and from the other room he said how good the guitar work was. It's engaging, it's clear and crisp and wonderfully arranged.You can tell love has been put into this track. This is as good as they get. Amazing. |
|
The Desert Dream (Part One) - arranged by FeekZoidReview by Ryrynz, 24/08/2011 Excellent remix, the intro is a nice touch and everything gels well together. However.. the low quality/mixing kinda ruins it a bit. |
|
Firelord - Symphonic - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by Ryrynz, 06/05/2011 While the samples are outdated now the overall flow of this is perfect. Personally I feel that this tune should be regarded as a masterpiece, it really does need a proper orchestral version done live to do it justice! |
|
Commando (Sound of SceneSat Edit) - arranged by FirestormReview by Ryrynz, 20/12/2009 Wow.. It's beat Rastan as the greatest track of all time on RKO.. quite a feat.What an amazing tune to listen to, very much reminds me of the Unreal Tournament tracks. Firestorm, you have created a track which sounds so amazingly professional it really is no wonder it's hit number one. I very much look forward to similar remixes from you in future.. Well done. There needs to be a new smiley made for this track. |

Trick Bag (modified) - arranged by DafunkReview by Ryrynz, 22/01/2009 One of my favorite tunes, the piano is pure class. It's a tune I come back to time and again, truly beautiful. |
