LMan shouts:

Pretty nice arrangement. The lead sound could do with a bit more presence and variety.

omoroca shouts:

I've heard those wrong notes in the melody in other Parallax remixes, too. I don't like em!

bratac shouts:

Aargh, wrong notes and terrible lead.

Oh oh - all the flair and punch of the original went away… very sad. Cytex turned it into something nice, and my opinion is, Parallax was not intend to be nice 😊 So, the nice remix is just nice, nothing more, nothing less.

Seasoned C64 remix aficionados with no doubt already have a plethora of Parallax reworkings, including those on the Back in Time CDs and CD-ROMs, so do we need another? Cytex's fairly straight version smoothes out the original harsh exterior, creating a warm, engrossing take on Galway's track, which only falters on occasion when the slightly piercing lead take precedence or slips from the original's melody. Generally, the sounds are well thought out, especially the relaxed drums, and fans of the original should take a look.
