OutRun Passing Breeze Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Radiarion, 21/03/2025 This captures the original beautifully with your own personal twist to it. I actually imagined myself playing outrun listening to this, rather than driving my Farrari by the ocean, more like flipping it 😊Only thing is its a little too linear and needs a little more of a human element (too perfect on timing?) The Chorus is great. Very nice work |

Turrican 3 Payment Day Title Music - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Radiarion, 21/03/2025 Hi Tony, Love your Amiga remakes, what a musical genius. Really like this Turrican 3 payment day mix. Id like to hear it be a little more solid with the drums and the intro, other than that, amazing work takes me back to the 80s & 90s when games were games 😊 |

The Seven Gates Of Jambala - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by Poke16384, 06/03/2025 Woah! This is why Glyn is considered to be the top remixer in the scene.. Arrangement, Soundscape and Dynamics.. He's the master of all.. This is so beautiful & so emotive.. The power is used to the max but never gets out of control.. and the whole track is a wonderful journey.. |

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by C64_Gamer, 20/01/2025 This is a really great interpretation of Supremacy. As with a lot of Peters remixes you never quite know where he will take you. The orchestra arrangement here is wonderful in the way it shifts gears while sounding very authentic and I have to agree with others here, the closing watch chimes are pure musical emotion. Super remix Peter. |

Turrican 10 Anniversary edition - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by pathfinder1985, 17/01/2025 Tony streams regularly and engages very well with his audience. He is really good at playing by ear and provides a weekly event to look forward to. If you like retro gaming music from the 80s and 90s you can't go wrong!. |

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by Poppykuk, 05/01/2025 A different take on Supremacy to all the others out there… Cinematic and Epic.. The orchestra work is superb and the way it comes full circle with the gradually slowing watch chimes to finish is super emotive and really clever. |

Obliterator - Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Kayna, 30/12/2024 well played, live as well, respect. the memories came flooding back playing this back in the 80's |

Supremacy (Encore64 V2) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by Jackal, 28/11/2024 To even come up with the concept of taking the Supremacy theme and taking it someplace it's never been (Morricone style) was genius… Executed perfectly. When those fat French horns kick in its *chef's kiss*… Excellent work by Mr. Clarke. I will concede that Despite my protests, Mr Clarke stuck to his guns on the musicbox section, and he was right to do it his way. |

Treasure Island Dizzy (I Can Fly Remix) - arranged by Gareth WoodReview by onlineamiga, 24/10/2024 My favourite Dizzy game, favourite Dizzy soundtrack, and I am just loving this remix. Great synths, great vibe. BUT… the drums, they're not working for it. It's a good beat, and then its like theres extra drum beats that dont fit, sounds like its skipping and doesnt fit, and ruins the flow of the tune. If that can be fixed, this would be an amazing 5 star remix! |

Spaceballs - State Of The Art (No Corruption Mix) - arranged by Gareth WoodReview by lee.oades, 08/10/2024 Captures all of the character of the original but for modern ears. Love it. Beautifully done. Big time nostalgia too - can still see the dancing girls. |

Lotus 2 (O.Stelzer Remix) - arranged by SolarstrikerReview by Radiarion, 03/10/2024 This takes me back to the good old days. A500, 1mb expansion board, joystick and a great game that was partly down to thhe sound track. Love this remix, great work!!! |

Battle Squadron Anastasios RmX - arranged by AnastasiosReview by Cyroth, 17/07/2024 One of the most innovative if not the best remix around! The automation alone going on in this track is league of its own! |

Hybris Interstellar - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Radiarion, 10/07/2024 I loved the original, and this has everything the original was, with Tony`s unique touch. BRILLIENT!!Id love to hear you do the end credits in full from Apidya😉 |

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 End Tune - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Oxx, 12/04/2024 While the execution is perfect, the lead at 01:47 is above all expectations, the reasons this is not all three REDs for me are:1. The arpeggios, which are the main characteristic of this tune in my opinion, are not the same. Somewhere in the original tune the arpeggios play isolated and that is the greatest part for my humble ears and the signature of the tune. 2. At 01:56 the part of the melody is different than the original, this may well be intentional. I listened to the original one to comfirm this. Overall, this is again great great work Tony. Let's imagine you went to a friend's party and someone played this live! Amazing. |

Turrican 2 - Title (Encore500) - arranged by Jogeir Liljedahl & RaptureReview by Radiarion, 14/02/2024 I stumbled accross the turrican games by accident when i… … aquired… some games and these were amungst them. I remember putting the disc in, hearing this track and didnt actually play the game for about an hour, just sat listening to this awesome sound, and this is one of the best remakes Ive heard!! Its freshened up a little, but kept everything the original was and more. What a great job!!! |

Battle Squadron - HiScore (Encore500) - arranged by TomskReview by LaLa, 19/01/2024 A uniquely elegiac remix that is becoming Tomsk's signature style. Absolutely wonderful and so full of emotions! The instrumentation is a skillful combination of violins, strings, guitars, and drums (and probably a bunch of other instruments, too), and the overall arrangement has a wonderful arc to it. So well done, I really enjoy it! |

Occ-San-Geen (Encore500) - arranged by FirefoxReview by LaLa, 17/01/2024 Occ-my-god! What a great uptempo, dancey, staccato-heavy remix! It sounds like a modern chiptune mixed with heavy Italo disco and it really takes me back. Fantastic! |
|
Nebulus (Walkthrough Remix Radio Cut) - arranged by Mitch van HaydenReview by Sada, 17/01/2024 I like it a lot! Surprinsing, evolutive, neverboring remix! The full ersion is awesome too. |
|
Rallye Master (Encore500) - arranged by Romeo KnightReview by LaLa, 15/01/2024 Personally, I think the original Rallye Master Obarski tune is a bit uninspiring (ducks hail of rotten tomatoes thrown his way…), but Romeo Knight makes the most out of the material with a genius idea: make it into a Depeche Mode pastiche! It's spot on! Really well done, the early 80s style is instantly recognizable. |
|
Leander - Title (Encore500) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 15/01/2024 The original one is fairly cinematic, too, so it's a perfect fit for that special electronic-cinematic treatment that only Glyn can provide. He is in full force here commanding a spectrum of instrumentation that several Hollywood music producers would be envious of. Just majestic! |
|
Amberstar - Title (Encore500) - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by LaLa, 15/01/2024 OMG, that intro sends chills down my spine! A great emotional piece. My only wish is that the vocal was featured more than just in the intro. |

Electric City - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by KoYamaRo, 28/12/2023 There not many to say, Perfection… The Lead is nice the Drums are Punchy and the rest ist well done, with a nice part of Retrosounds |
|
Electric City - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by tw1l1ght, 17/12/2023 …you had me within 20s, sensing a pattern here - careful, from now on we will expect nothing less! xDAnother total banger! \m/ |
|
A Prehistoric Tale - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by SoDa7, 25/11/2023 What a wonderful version - it gives a modern, fully enjoyable vibe while at the same time keeping the same feel as the original version! |
|
Endtheme (Encore500) - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by Jackal, 07/11/2023 Such a wonderful Vangelis feel to this piece. I couldn't help but shed a tear at it's absolute beauty. I had to go seek out the original, and I'm blown away by the vision he had to take it to this level. If you close your eyes, it's like being in 1986 all over again. |

A Prehistoric Tale - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by Poke16384, 07/11/2023 Unmistakably Jogeir… but a really faithful remix of Johen Hippel's original… The soundscape is SOOO nice, spread out and airy… There's just enough modification here for Jogeir to put his own signature on it… (and clearly a lot of respect for the original work)… Lot's of lovely playing in the performance, especially the bent & slid notes of the melody… My ears are in paradise… |
|
Endtheme (Encore500) - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by LaLa, 14/10/2023 I fell in love with his version right away and I can't stop listening to it - Jogeir extended the short original into a beautiful five and a half minute long chill piece, and I'm so glad it also features that wonderful melody line of the original prominently. Sorry, all other talented remixers, but we have a winner - this is my absolute favorite from the Encore500 album, bar none. |

Complications (Encore500) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by Danko, 09/10/2023 Not my favorite Complications Remix, but the best Complications Remix.I wish I had nothing to do with it. Having been privy to how Peter approached this interpretation was impressive. Initially it was to be 70s Motown, then Disco pretty much came out of the mixing process. The end result is Disco without the Cheese, showing Peter's talent when it comes to choosing tasteful aesthetics. Peter got a severe upper hand by being able to play those funky guitar, Rhodes Piano and Hammond Organ licks live and with great articulation. To me, this is what makes all the difference in a world of 100% In-The-Box DAW Remixes. It did take a lot more effort when it came to the mixing and mastering, however in hindsight it was definitely worth all the ache, pain and harassment from Peter. As I recall things it was the other way around with the C64 version happening later, but I digress… Friendly banter aside, this track shows Peter Clarke's strength as a professional musician on guitar and keyboard which is something I've been suggesting for him to get back into after a decade of fake symphonic orchestral remixes. So glad he did, because this one is one of the funkiest tracks on Remix64 this year and so different from all the numerous Complications remixes out there! |
