Never understand why this tune is so underrated. It's an brilliant remix. I like the atmosphere and the voice in the background.
Heyah + some effects + way too much reverb doesn't make any Indian Remix, at least not for my taste!
Funny humming sounds, luv'em

Is it possible that this remix lies so down in the chart?
Ok, it doesn't sound commercial, has no rhetorical constructions or structures, even the drum path sounds strange and the lead vocal track is a bit too reverberated to melt perfectly with the music carpet, but - no doubt - this version of Dragon's Lair II is by far one of the most original remixes on the RKO.
Chosc had some very good ideas, like the way many sounds enter and exit from the (quite repetitive) melodic texture, and like the fusion of electronic sounds (keybords and bass) with the indian-like singing and percussions, ending the tune with the European classical sound of the pipeorgan. The result is, in my opinion, very artistic and, even if undoubted very dark and a bit gloomy, it may be considered a fair example of the way a C64-remix should be done.
