CD2:
Wings of death:
It isn't the first time that Jochen Hippel has produced this track. Some of very few members are still remembering to his first CD "Give it a try". However this version is much more Synth-Pop styled and not so "rocky" (with less Synth Pop) like in his first version. Maybe it's something missing somehow...maybe a the beat or something other. But I think it has to deserve a good vote neverless.

No second Prize:
I was a bit confused when I listening this track at the first seconds when it sounds like a japanese voice in a track from Schiller (very famous Chillout-Projekt in Germany). I need to listen it several times to make a final vote and I came to the fact that the voice that the voice is unfitting at some parts to the very cool background, even because the game isn't really related with japanese and african voices. But I like this track neverless...anyway.

Speedball 2:
The track is very similar to the "Brutal Method" version at Amigaremix from "Snear".
It's using rock guitars but not the thy typical techno samples from the Original I hoped before.
Sure, it's a good remix and a notable difference between the drums and the mastering process. Also the "crying peoples samples" in this track does his job very well. As I also liked the version from Snear, it's still a good choice for my oppinion.

Brat:
Finally a track which I heard never remixed at Amigaramix or somewhere else and it's bot bad.
It's beginning a bit hardy but raising very quickly and the guitar sounds very cool there. So I think I could count to one of my favourite tracks on the 2nd CD.

Amberstar:
Another track which I can't remember the Original.
However a very beautiful song and very nice arrangement even with the piano and background strings sounding almost like a movie Soundtrack. Very brilliant!

Shadow of the Beast 2:
One of the Highlights this CD. I've waited so long for a version that catched the "black mood" of this game, not an easy way but Tim Wright solved it very well with excellent Arrangement which is almost perfect in my opinion. I'm sure there will not be another remixer to the same way for this song, even to combinate the title and the "In-Game-Tune" so perfect as he did.

Uridium 2:
Another game missing in my collection, maybe because I didn't really understand what people are liking on this game.
- Neverless a very good Production although I can't compare it with the original right now.

Cardiaxx:
See above. I never heard this name before...what kind of game was it??? So I only vote the arrangement like I did with the other tracks I can't remember and it's quite good, sounding a bit like an 80's song.

Pinball Fantasies:
Definitely the best track of this CD in my opinion. I already heard it before in a Slay Radio show when I taked very great attention to "Immortal 3".
An experience through a "Matrix-Sound" arranged sample storm combined with the typical Pinball Fantasies Sound and an excellent background which no one has remixed this way before.
I can't remember what I could have done better here...Olof & Thomas
I love you for this track!!!

Elfmania:
The game must be released after my Amiga time (in 1994) because I missed the game completely. I saw it later on WinUAE and I heard it was a game from Finland. But I really love the Beat in this game like the rest. Should be voted almost as a Highlight.
Overdrive:
I loved the original tune on the Amiga. It's another track which was never remixed before (I think). Alister did his job very well here and keeped the beatiful "chorus string" in background although (in my opinion) it seems to swapping a little bit. My hopings that the beat will be re-produced a bit more in "Dance style" wasn't complied too. But it's neverless another good part of this CD.

Ork:
I get this game when I already got my PC, still collection Amiga Games so I can remember this track and somehow this version sounds very cool. Every sample leads to another and there's nothing missing somehow...until maybe the last brilliant tick.

Leander:
I didn't play this game because I didn't count it to my favourite Amiga games. But it's another track which comtains a very matures arrangement, sounding very mediaeval.
Rating: (9/10)
Obsession - Desert Run:
I can't remember that there was a Amiga game like this but I'm estimating from the sound style that it was a scene demo. The typical "Enigma-Demo Samples" and "tune distortion" combined with the very cool new production sounds very perfect, even at the beginning and the end. One of the highlights on this CD!
Rating: (10/10)
Katakis:
Hmm...I listen this track again and again but I can't remember that it was a part from the Original, maybe I've overheard something when I played the Amiga Version until the end so I only can vote the sound style and it's surely very interesting, although no highlight as some other tracks I talked about before.
Rating: (7/10)
Super Cars 2:
I only had Part 1 of this game, so I can'r remember this track but I'm estimating that it isn't from title screen because it's a bit to slow.
So I think it's from the shop maybe...it's a bit strange arrangement even with the drum and cymbal elements but I can't really enthuse myself somehow.
Rating: (6/10)
Trolls:
A nice and funny sounding track at the end of this CD, although I can't remember this tune because I only had this game very shortly. Unfortunately I can't get excited from this track because the lyrics don't fit really in this track as well as the "Moti Special" similar vocals, sorry Makke.
