Story
Zoids - Rob Hubbard/Larry Fast



  • One of my absolute C-64 favourites.


  • My version started as a massive full-on analog-synthesizer version. Then I heard the O2 Zoids and decided not to even try. O2-Zoids is just perfect.


  • I ended up with an easy-listening-synthesizer Zoids with faster Tempo.


  • Sounds from SID and various software synthesizers.

Nice'n'fast! Great remix! Added to my collection.
bratac shouts:
One of the fewest remixes of Zoids to be both notewise correct and true to the original C-64 piece. Best when slowed back down... :-) The ending absolutely rocks!

Overall rating

Zoids/Ancestors. A majestic tune which stomps its way into our hearts. How can you ruin it? Simple, you speed the tune up by a factor of 2, then add organ stabs. It trivialises the tune, and it's impossible for me to take it seriously.
