Super Cars 2 - arranged by FastLoaders

Review 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 FastLoaders

Review 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 FastLoaders

Review 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.

Xenon 2 - Megablast (2017 Oldschool Mix) - arranged by HurryKn

Review by Ryrynz, 28/11/2018

Keeps very much in line with the original but adds so much more… Gonna be hard to top this.

Turrican 2 - Freedom - arranged by Nerious

Review 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 TURRICAN And 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.

Turrican 2: Freedom - Western Remix - arranged by AmiGamer

Review 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 faces type 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.

Coloris - daXX Remix - arranged by daXX offline

Review 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!

Turrican II (Concerto For Laser And Enemies Enhanced Mix) - arranged by Peter W

Review 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 ScareCrow

Review 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.

The Desert Dream (Part One) - arranged by FeekZoid

Review 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.
