Ghosts'n Goblins (Gueuze 'n Goblins mix) - arranged by Rune-Bertil's

Review by Vilesyn, 27/12/2016

Great remix, but very deceiving.

The intro felt like I was in for a big surprise, but it didn't set me up for the swing-style I received. I was thinking at least some crazy psycho-mariachi or some sort of edm mix like mariachi zombies, or El Mariachi.

The G&G C64 main intro/first stage music was always something I loved as it built me up from a calm collective, to getting ready to impale the undead. This remix didn't do that for me after the intro. Do get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, but the first transition was from a moment of nostalgia to constantly having to piece together the parts in my mind, hoping they would sound familiar again.

Don't get me wrong, I love swing as much as a the next guy, but to me it just didn't fit the style of this song, and wanted to give the arranger some constructive critique. Still, I enjoyed this remix quite a bit.

Zoids Trap Remix - arranged by Ländgassa

Review by Vilesyn, 27/12/2016

The integrity and flow of the original was intact, and was extremely entertaining. I really dig the flow and how the arranger kept it like the original.

Realistically, I have no idea why this remix is rated so low, but as a pleased listener I had to register to give this one some well deserved love.
