Rambo First Blood Arp 2 - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by wobbler, 07/11/2023 This was my #1-vote on the norway compo. Love the mellow lead (among other things) |

Lazy Bytes - arranged by JLDReview by wobbler, 15/01/2022 Oh, what a very pro sounding result! Happy to hear about your move to a new DAW (and I agree that the kick in the previous remix was perhaps a tad to much), but also sorry that you're leaving Reason for Cubase. Who am I now gonna poke for collabs, huh? Huh? 😊 |
|
Platoon - arranged by JLD & Dr.FutureReview by wobbler, 15/01/2022 Great stuff. The guitar really makes this remix a lot more personal. I just would like to have the snare (and most of the percussion) a lot less reverb:ed. Also, the remix kinda … faded away without a proper ending? No? Perhaps it's just me. |

Ghosts n Goblins (Ghosts n Thrillers) - arranged by MakkeReview by wobbler, 01/09/2021 I'm just so happy that Makke re-entered the … eh,scene. His (yours, Makke) stuff continues to be super innovative, packaged in a purrfect retro box. All I want, really. |

Lazy Jones - arranged by MakkeReview by wobbler, 11/06/2021 Ok, solate to the party. Sort of. Yes, I've heard this remix several times, but only through official broadcasting, and no … I didn't buy the album. Hell, never bought any c64-album. So yes – shame on me. But on the other hand – super glad that Makke is releasing his choons for public consumption. Anyway, this release shows the skills of Mr. Makke. WB back to the scene, brutha. (but who am I to wish a thing like that, huh? Huh? Like, huh?). P. s. huh. |

Sanxion - arranged by MakkeReview by wobbler, 05/05/2021 Sanxion! The one and only tune that I really like (like to remix as well). And flutes! I once made a flute remix, remember? But yeah, Makke knows his stuff, especially knows how to add voice & lyrics. Refreshing! (although I understand that this one isn't a new one … just hadn't heard it before) |

Sanxion (Spandau Ballet mix) - arranged by MahoneyReview by wobbler, 18/06/2020 Let me correct theold LaLahere and say that this is something absolutely fabulous. Way ahead of it's time (I guess?). Mahoney in his greatest greatness (or perhaps rock bottom – it doesn't matter really). |

D.Y.S.P.I.D.C.E (part 2) - JLD Remix - arranged by JLDReview by wobbler, 03/06/2020 Ok, perhaps not a review … but wth, how did I miss JLD:s entrance to the C64-remixing community? Well, perhaps not strange at all since I don't keep up to date of each and every release on RKO. Still, a solid production, but then I don't think that the original gives away that many hints of a re-release in the shape of … well, a new tune. Sorry for this non-review but well … I just had to write what I felt when listening =) |
|
Sober Days (Drunk Remix) - arranged by JLDReview by wobbler, 03/06/2020 Just posted a review of your latest drop to RKO (which was really good btw), and then found this one … Man, I have no previous recollection of hearing the original, but this totally rocks! I mean, keeping the original SID-feeling whilst maintaining a modern beat/arrangement/whatnot. Super-duper-awesome. |
|
Last Hero - arranged by JLDReview by wobbler, 03/06/2020 Seems like another Swede enters the C64-remix-arena… Welcome! Judging from the production quality of this tune I can hear that you've produced a fair amount of music before trying out a C64-remix. And yes, the beat still has a decent taste of dubstep, and yes #3– it still work with the final result. Well done, and again – welcome to our little bizarre community 😊 |
|
Tuneful Eight - arranged by MakkeReview by wobbler, 08/05/2020 Oh, he's back-eh-makk-eh. Sort of happy that I was able to spark some sort of creative juice! And yeah, breakbeats need a big revival *makes a mental note* |
|
Commando - Main Theme remix - arranged by moonoveReview by wobbler, 08/05/2020 I know, it's been remixed a hundred times, and yeah, the original is so good etc etc etc. But, this one is really minimalistic, has fresh sounds (yeah, really) and well … liked it. Thumbs up. |
|
Paperboy sub 2 - arranged by OJ OscillationReview by wobbler, 21/01/2020 Funky and fun. This one definitely deserves a higher rating than a plain lemonish yellowesque faceluring. Only critique (guess I have to leave *some*, no?) would be the somewhat high frequencies in the lead that are rolling around. |
|
Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHashReview by wobbler, 21/01/2020 I do like the added drum sequences & lead + the occational glitch effects plus high frequency ending, and I do kinda like the overall work … but: too much sidechaining (like Lala said) and the bass drum + snare sound too harsh and takes over what I want to hear (if that makes any sense?) |
|
Thrust (Full of Oxygene Remix) - arranged by BaRReview by wobbler, 09/03/2019 I hear early nineties New Order-chords in a mix of JMJ-beats. Can't be something wrong with that, can it? |
|
Commando - arranged by SHEN LONReview by wobbler, 09/02/2019 This sounds like something I would have made myself (not to say that I would actually have managed to produce, sound wise or arrangement wise), but the overall style. Like it a lot. And as LaLa wrote earlier; perhaps a tad too much reverb, but the again who am I to complain? I might even try a remix version of my own, just to see if I could reach this standard😉 |
|
Rolands Ratrace (80s Disco Remix) - arranged by Rat DistrictReview by wobbler, 07/04/2018 I personally think that the current reviewers are a tad too harsh on this tune. The choice of sounds and assembly + production holds really well together. Regardless of you've heard the original or not (I didn't) it's a total 80-s recall. Well done! |
|
Auf Wiedersehen Monty & Commando - arranged by Jeroen TelReview by wobbler, 23/12/2017 Yes, unz:y as hell. But there's something I can't put my greasy finger on that I lack in this arrangement. Maybe something in the choice of sounds? Or not. |
