Commodore Remix

The first remix of it's kind perhaps?
I like it a lot
Great.. just great... don't even know what to say.

Please, more of this!

First remix of what kind? Flip the Flop? u not heard Reyns own remix of his own tune?

A lot of influence from "Freestyler" by BomFunk MC's, too.

I reckon it's great, and am somewhat surprised by its low score...

It's one of those remixes that shows the wide discrepency between what the remixing community likes and what the general public will like.

I think it's a very creative remix. I mean, I loved the way Thomas Detert mixed Sigma 7 and Chariots of Fire. I really like it when someone tries to imitate another song with a c64 song. It takes a lot of skill...and sample/VSTi/synth power.

What I didn't like with this Flip the Flop remix was that, as I said in another thread, than the Boomfunk punch isn't there. I don't listen through PC-speakers, so that's not the problem.

And though I like cheesy lyrics, I didn't particularly fall for these. So I voted it Very Good. Because it's an original effort, executed in a nearly perfect way (IMHO).

I woudn't go so far as to say it's the first of it's kind, though. But, as I said, it's a really creative remix.

I agree that in the scheme of things (i.e. all music) that it's not unique and, to be honest, it's not 100 per cent my tea musically. However, as far as C64 remixes go, it's rather different, and certainly avoids the "original SID with new voices" thing (and orchestral stuff, which I'm rapidly getting fed-up with, no matter what quality it's done in). Also, I prefer it over Lagerfeldt's other stuff, which, while excellently produced, did suffer a little from being a little too straight. (Hence, overall, me rating it with the top smiley here.)

It seems many of my favourite C64 mixes right now have some form of vocal on them: Makke - your Hammerfist mix, Trauma's I'm a Pumpkin Man, even Wobbler's Overlame.
