Not exactly the punch in the face I was expecting and you can't carry the full tune on THAT bass line alone.
nicodaemus shouts:
Can't complain. Just lacks a bit of innovation for orange or red. Actually it's already close to orange for me. Keep going and you'll get there for sure.
RemixFan shouts:
Good remix of the original a little bit boring, however good Remix.
condor shouts:
Not bad...
apple shouts:
Ok remix I guess, just too boring..
chilli_uk shouts:
Easily your best work so far, but the rough samples are still your problem, more evident when listened to via headphones - mixing to be improved but your best so far
gator shouts:
A G&G remix is always a good thing!
LaLa shouts:
Nothing special, simple MODish instrumentation (maybe too simple), simplistic arrangement. It's just simple.
Raffox shouts:
Better, you are improving your style but we need better works, and less echoes ;P
Wahlman shouts:
Not too bad. There are many remixes on the forum of this one, and there are some better. I'd like a more spooky and ghostly feeling to this arrangement.
Anbalsilfer shouts:
The best dancefloor-style ghosts'n'goblins remix I've heard as well as the best remixed version of the song so far period. It's very different in feeling and style from the original, but still great!

Overall rating

This is a dancefloor-style remix of ghosts'n'goblins that is quite different in feeling and style from the original, but still manages to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. The quality is a huge improvement from the original. In this case it is a good thing that the artist has dared to step away from the quirky SID qualities of the C64 as they don't really add to the musical value of this particular song like they do for for example the Commando signature theme. Not a lot of original arrangement added, but a masterful rework nonetheless. The ending feels a bit snubbed, though.
