Wizball - arranged by SoundLogicReview by LaLa, 01/02/2023 The arrangement is clever, weaving together many of the subtunes of the game's soundtrack. I think the instrumentation is probably the weakest point of this massive remix, it's a bit all over the place. Still, quite an impressive feat overall. |

Thrust - arranged by SoundLogicReview by LaLa, 01/02/2023 This remix seems to follow an everything but the kitchen sink approach in its arrangement. Synth-heavy intro? Check. Electric guitar? Check. Big choir? Check. Original SID sounds? Check. Ultimately, I find this more confusing than purposeful. There's nothing deeply wrong with the arrangement here, I just have trouble connecting with it due to its wandering nature. |

Krakout - arranged by SoundLogicReview by Waz, 31/01/2023 Nice effort to try and do something playful here with Krakout. If anything, it needed to be a little more off the wall, in the true style of Ben Daglish himself. It does work nicely and there's some good thought gone into this. Definitely worth a listen. |

Lightforce - arranged by SoundLogicReview by LaLa, 31/01/2023 This remix is trying to sound bigger than it really is. Some good ideas in there with the choir and the strings, and the Jarre-like growling synth at the end - but overall, it's just not a very exciting arrangement. Plus points for covering Lightforce in its entirety, though. |

Bangkok Knights Loader - arranged by SoundLogicReview by LaLa, 31/01/2023 What's there sounds pretty good, but I think the instrumentation is a bit on the thin side, and it would've benefited from some fattening up - whether by layering instruments or with some additional effects. The electric guitars are my favorites in this remix, but those could've used some additional sonic treatment, too. |

Ghosts 'n Goblins (RockMetal Cover) - arranged by Vaggelis PapadopoulosReview by antmagn, 24/01/2023 Great remix! Love it, It's like real song. Especially for those who love rock or metal music |

Mission A.D. gameplay theme (orchestral rock mix) - arranged by Skaven252Review by LaLa, 22/01/2023 The first half of this remix leaves me rather cold. I think it's desperately trying to sound more bombastic than how it actually does: the instrumentation sounds fairly thin, the percussion doesn't have the expected gravitas. Things change dramatically at the half-point: that electric guitar changes [i]everything[/i]. The entire arrangement suddenly wakes up and this remix becomes larger than life. If that's how this entire remix sounded, I would've given it an orange smilie easy, maybe even a red one. |

Lost Patrol (NAM Edit) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Armandox, 20/01/2023 Love the slap bass line! The mix is a bit 'middy' but overall a good listening experience. Rock 'n roll \m/(>. |
|
Stardust Memories - arranged by MakkeReview by Armandox, 20/01/2023 I never heard the original, but this has been very well produced and mixed. Everything finds it's place in this remix and it's also exceptionally well mastered. I like the late 80's synthwave and eurodance vibe in this! I'm going to check out more of your remixes! |

Dark Star - arranged by Chris PrattiniReview by joenemesys, 19/01/2023 It gently speaks to the heart through the fog of feelings with the grace of a little candle lighting up a forgotten room full of shades…I love how instruments and voice tie together towards the end with an elegiac tone |
|
X-Out Highscore - arranged by AmokReview by AmigaMelody, 19/01/2023 Very uplifting as the original, but wrong notes ruin it for me (1:53, 1:56, 2:02, 2:04 etc. - should be lower). |
|
Arkanoid - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 18/01/2023 Fun-kay! Congrats, you made an excellent piece of 70s psychedelica out of Arkanoid! Pretty vocals, too. And nailed the ending, too. Well, nailed it all! |
|
Occ-San-Geen - arranged by nicsureReview by lee.oades, 12/01/2023 I honestly think this is the best reworking on an Amiga tune I've ever heard. |
|
Delta - At your humble service - arranged by 0supereg0Review by LaLa, 12/01/2023 OK, this starts out the same as your Delta Multi Genre remix. Excellent guitar work and nicely mixed. Of the two I like this one more. |
|
Delta Multi Genre - arranged by 0supereg0Review by monty, 10/01/2023 It starts (and ends) GREAT with that guitar play that strongly reminded me of Wilco's How to fight loneliness. Would have loved the whole track to be treated in that laid back style. The sandwiched part is not bad either, but a litte bit too generic for my taste. However, I very much enjoyed your remix! Recover well soon! |

Metal Warrior Ultra - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 10/01/2023 Whoa! Glyn doing guitars!?!… As usual, pro-level remix. And when the choir comes in, too… Whew!My only complaint about it is the relatively soft volume level throughout the track (average -17.0 LUFS - that's low). |
|
Spy Vs Spy (Spy Disco Spy Remix) - arranged by Stello DoussisReview by Humpty, 03/01/2023 Literally had me dancing in the shower. Brings you right back to that era. Those eerie backnotes were nicely blended in |

DNA Warrior (Nobody wants to be my friend) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 19/12/2022 Pretty funky, I like the groovy vibes going on here. Personally, I feel the vocals are forced on this tune, they don't seem to fit 'naturally' with the rest of the arrangement. By which I mean if you dropped the sections with the vocals, this remix would be just as good - they don't seem to add anything of value (at least, not to me). Otherwise, excellent job. |

Running on Empty - arranged by Jogeir Liljedahl & RaptureReview by P.G.G., 19/12/2022 Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not. – Ursula K. Le Guin |

Sweet (ft Gibs) - arranged by MordiReview by LaLa, 08/12/2022 Wow, wow, wow!Be impressed by my triple-wow, because this being my all-time favorite SID, I am especially picky about remixes that attempt to re-interpret it. At first I found the intro a bit too slow, but it's growing on me. The silk-soft lead instrument and the overall softness of the entire production is impressive. It would be hard to top the expressive Yamaha CS-80 lead that Marcel Donne put into his remix, but you've done a great job here, Mordi. When the guitar lead kicks in, it really tickles my heart, makes my legs tremble, tears form in my eyes, and gives me goosebumps - just like it does when I listen to the original SID. Which means that this remix manages to evoke the same emotions in me, and that's no small feat. Also kudos for the beautiful coda you've added to the end, it's such attention to the detail in the arrangement that makes this remix truly outstanding. Thank you, Mordi, for this remix! I'll carry it in my heart forever. |

Camel Riders Inc - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 08/12/2022 Leave it to Mr. Brown to pluck out an obscure Bjerregaard tune and turn it into remix gold. If this is what's laying around in your unfinished folder, I wonder what other treasures it might hide?!?…The Arabian feeling is totally there, the vocals, the strings - exceptionally well done.One gripe I have with this: I think it could've used some additional mastering, as the overall volume is pretty low. A simple compressor on the master track could've solved much of this problem (Maximus to the rescue…), but I think it could've used some boost in the low-end, too. |
|
Beyond (The Ballad Mix) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by LaLa, 07/12/2022 I like this version more than the Uptempo Mix which was released at the same time. The acoustic guitar and the sax are so romantic and warm and cozy! I think the 80s drums of the Uptempo Mix would work better here then the current ones, but that's my only gripe here. |

Tusker Intro - arranged by CGMcloud offlineReview by Unreal, 06/12/2022 Woow, Great Remix, Loved it! Cool atmosphere, samples, liked so much some rocky styles what i dont like so much, but its ok. |

Tusker Village - arranged by CGMcloud offlineReview by Unreal, 06/12/2022 Nostalgy factor is well done, great ryhtm, guitar effects is well done, keep it up! |
|
Tusker Ancient Temple - arranged by CGMcloud offlineReview by Unreal, 06/12/2022 Some good pitch there, but rock style not my favourite, but not bad at all, keep it up! |
|
Spellbound (Orchestral) - arranged by LaLaReview by CGMcloud, 05/12/2022 It has a very midi sound.This was something that needs a lot of work. There are no dynamics and intrument envelops. |
|
Ace 2 - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by CGMcloud, 05/12/2022 Not very imaginative.Making this music into a tuc-tuc is like shooting yourself in the back of the head… |

Cybernoid II (Like a Dream) - arranged by Mario BarbieratoReview by LaLa, 03/12/2022 Wonderful! Stylistically, it reminds me of a cross between Robert Miles and Enigma. It's a very nice trance/chill-out remix of Cybernoid II! If that's the style you were going for, then you totally nailed it.Love the vocal coming in at around 2:30! Who is the singer?I wish the drums were a bit more pronounced in the mix, they are just a tad too soft.NOTE: There's a short glitch in the recording at 2:29 where all sounds pause for about half a second - I doubt that was intentional. |
