Dutch Breeze/Robocop 3 (Progressive Uplift) - arranged by Lagerfeldt

Review 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 Colmarr

Review 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 Remedy

Review 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 Remedy

Review 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 Remedy

Review 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.

Nine Lives - arranged by MRT

Review 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

Great Giana Sisters - arranged by machinae supremacy

Review 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.

1942 (Orchestral) - arranged by Miguel F Ettema

Review 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 good remixes sound nowhere near what this manages to pull off. Good for not being perfect? C'mon!

Ocean Loader 2 - arranged by Mordi

Review 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 Lambourne

Review 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.

Sweet - arranged by Marcel Donné

Review 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 my review This 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] Ceuppens

Review 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 Darkman007

Review 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.

Firelord - Symphonic - arranged by Glyn R Brown

Review 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 Firestorm

Review 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.

One of my favorite tunes, the piano is pure class. It's a tune I come back to time and again, truly beautiful.
