Martijn shouts:
Overall a very nice remix. Some parts are stretched out a bit too long though...
SarahKreuz shouts:
I guess it`s a little bit too long and it definitely needs some variation. But, its good. Nothing totally wrong with this Track and a worthy download for all Last Ninja Fans.:)
Gregory Atlas shouts:
Very good Ninja Remix.
LaLa shouts:
Too drawn out at several places, I was already bored at 6 min into it. The instrumentation is just too plain. The mixing could use a wider dynamic range. Nothing too terrible, though, nice effort!
kai shouts:
Awesome. I love the trancy unz, the change between different themes, its energizing and somewhat epic feeling, in a long uplifting tune, a 16 minute Ninjagasm!
pie vs pie shouts:
Certainly epic in length a little dated sounding understandably but on the whole very good
Danceaway shouts:
Not a bad mix, reminds me of Instant Remedy's mix but not as good, welcome on board....
brix shouts:
I'm sorry, but it bored the hell out of me.
Hex Madroom shouts:
16 minutes of 4-on-the-floor beats? No thank you.
Melaure shouts:
Nice remix but a shorter version would have been more appropriate unless richer instrumentation (like Lotus III - Breathless - daxx Remix that is truly fantastic)

Nostalgia factor

Overall rating

For the most part I really like this, it tugs at the nostalgia strings in a couple of ways. Obviously its covering some of the most famous C64 soundtracks ever, but also the instrumentation and arrangement has a very Amiga-ish approach.


Normally, I have very little time for UNZ type remixes, but this one appealed.


Its a bit long in places, also not enough variety in the instrumentation in the long to sustain proper interest. Some progression instrumentwise, or some filtering on the *very* amiga like chords would have given it more depth I felt.


However, as an arrangement based on its nostalgic value, its melding of the themes, and the technical accuracy of the very distinct melodies - excellent. 😊
