Heh. Well, you might want to mention it in the news, too.

Hey, a well balanced review there and interesting features. Interesting that you point out that Shades is in your opinion the most accomplished track as it was a track that was so close to being not part of the CD as both me and Thomas thought it didn't really go as far as we wanted.

You quite correctly pointed out that it doesn't have any c64 sounds in it, tho a reason for negativity on that point i feel maybe a little harsh. Tho you did counteract that statement by stating that the CD would appeal to a wider audience.

Overall i feel a fair and honest review, and i couldn't have asked for more really, even if the overall rating seems a bit out of odds at least for me.

The wording of cheesy on v1 tho is a compliment tho i don't think it was ment that way. 80's music was always cheesy, so i guess we succeded there. or at least i think.

Overall, one of the most well balanced reviews i've read and very well written. As always we'll disagree on some point, but thats life. I have few complaints tho :)

Well written.
Neil

Bear in mind that the rating is done within the Pixelsurgeon framework for reviews. Therefore, it's not "is this a good C64 remix CD" and rated accordingly; instead, it's "is this a good CD" and rated accordingly.

Anyway, I'm glad you felt the review was fair and honest - that was the aim with this feature.
