London Demo (Christmas at Reyn's mix) - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by LaLa, 15/12/2021 Since I wrote my shout, I listened to it a few more times. I still like thatflashbackstyle intro, the 80s style instrumentation in the rest of remix is near perfect, I get the whimsical nature of this remix (and I embrace it) - but somehow it just still doesn't gel in my mind as a whole. I prefer the 95% Wham-free version on Soundcloud… |

DeathWish III remix - arranged by LaurikkaReview by LaLa, 15/12/2021 Welcome to the Commodore remix community! This remix is a decent entry by a first-timer, it follows the original's arrangement fairly closely with a nice choice of instruments (I quite like those brassy chords from 0:56). But it does show some common teething problems: the instruments sound somewhat lifeless with not much variation to them. The drums sound a bit too dry in the mix. It also sounds to me like the overall instrumentation has some But overall, it shows a lot of promise, and I hope we'll hear more remixes from you in the future! |

Christmas at Reyn's - arranged by Tim Forsyth offlineReview by LaLa, 14/12/2021 I quite like the concept in the intro, sort of abest ofremembrance. Really like the 80s soundscape from 1:00, totally vibing to it. But the vocoded/synthesized voice singing Last Christmas… Not sure about that one. |

Stranger in a Strange Land (Ensoniq Mix) - arranged by LaLaReview by Poke16384, 06/12/2021 Lots of very recognisable undertones here.. 'Electric Dreams', 'Never-ending Story'.. Reyn's original doesn't hint that strongly at this genre and soundscape so, 10/10 for adapting it to this style.. The arrangement is faithful but, (and this is no criticism) The original doesn't leave much room to add more of your own parts like 'answer backs' to the main melody, (Reyn did it already in the SID). Your soundscape is really good. The individual instrument sounds that you've chosen absolutely represent the mid to late 80's era of electro-pop. A really enjoyable remix that only suffers from some of the repetition of the original SID. This is a tough SID to do anything other than a 1:1 cover with and you've done that really well… If I marked it down for adding next to nothing new to the arrangement, I'd be a hypocrite because I don't know what I could have added, in your place.. |

Stranger in a Strange Land (Ensoniq Mix) - arranged by LaLaReview by Laci1971, 04/12/2021 Does it seem just to me that the background music is this: Laura Branigan - Gloria? |

Stranger in a Strange Land (Ensoniq Mix) - arranged by LaLaReview by tim_forsyth, 02/12/2021 There is so much to love about this remix. It's densely packed with rhythms, synths, arpeggios, fat brass chords and harmonies. It's tickling all my nostalgia senses, it has this sound of the 80's that's hard to pin down, Moroder, Pop, Game shows, Huelsbeck? I kept thinking I was listening to a Chris Huelsbeck remix of Reyn. The drums are tightly programmed and there's never a dull moment, 16 bars of fun throughout. Amazing! Right, I'm off to download some RX5 samples… |

Somewhere (Paranoimia Crack Intro) - arranged by moonoveReview by Sada, 01/12/2021 Add a modern note to a classic cracktro. Maybe a little short as the original track repeat itself. |

Bubble Bobble (Moody Trailer remix) - arranged by ColmarrReview by LaLa, 17/11/2021 I am going to be a bit harsh on this remix, mostly because it advertises itself as a Absolutely high marks for the unique approach to this SID tune, the sound palette you used here is totally |

End Sax (sans sax) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 17/11/2021 I would like to know what's in the water in Norway, because it seems that almost every remix submitted from that country is of incredibly high quality! The intro of this remix sounds like 4 different sample loops mixed together - I don't know if that's the case, but not that it matters, because once that piano lead floats in, I am already melting. And when the beautiful vocal replaces the piano, I feel like I am floating towards heaven. This remix really hits a soft spot in me. Actually, it's more like it caresses a soft spot in me. The violin, the strings, the singer, the soft drum rhythm - it all feels PS: Haha, yes, it is funny that a song with sax in its title has no sax in it. 😁 |

Alloyrun - arranged by SIDNIFYReview by LaLa, 17/11/2021 SIDNIFY don't release frequently, but when they do, it's high quality stuff. No exception here, with their now-signature 'wall of sound' in-your-face arrangement, sprinkled with a generous amount of electric guitars and SID sounds. And when the hurricane-force winds generated by the speakers off this remix finally end, the only proper reaction isWOW. |

Tribute to Atos - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by goblin, 16/11/2021 We used this song in one of our intros(Light) for a long time and holy smokes is this version different! Super fun and stylish |

Nemesis the Warlock - arranged by Skaven252Review by LaLa, 15/11/2021 I really like the industrial, almost steampunk style here, but I have trouble accepting that electric violin-like lead on top of all that. It feels a bit too whiny to me in this context. It's a fantastic sound all by itself, but together with this 'heavy' metallic backing - I'm not sure. Otherwise, this is a superb arrangement, and it really paints a picture: when I close my eyes I am seeing big factory machines playing this remix, with giant vats containing liquid steel all around, big sparks flying from from each drum hit… |

The Last Ninja - The Wilderness - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by tim_forsyth, 14/11/2021 Wonderful remix. There’s an admirable amount of restraint here that keeps the whole track a consistent and enjoyable, letting you weave in your signature style while keeping the vibe of the original intact. I also think the mix on this track is one of your best, there’s a lot more instrumentation and it compliments the brass and guitar. How you manage to keep pushing out so many quality, well played remixes I have no idea. Good stuff! |

The Last Ninja - The Wilderness - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by LaLa, 13/11/2021 Lovely flute, great trumpet - a unique, but undeniably signature Andersson-like take on a classic SID. It all sounds very organic, cohesive, perfectly mixed. Just great all around! |

Giana Sisters - Arok - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 10/11/2021 Boggles my mind how this placed only 4th at the Árok remix compo in 2021… This is a finely tuned epic choral-orchestral-cinematic take on Hülsbeck's classic tune. Throw in some vocal chops, maybe a pipe organ here and there, mix it up with some generous reverb - then add that special sauce that only Mr. Brown possesses, and you get a masterpiece. Mind blown! 🤯 |

Lightforce 2.0 (countermelodic) - arranged by EftosReview by L0rd3vyL, 30/10/2021 I'm usually open to all kinds of remixes, but this one does absolutely nothing for me. Not good at all. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a lower score is I like the concept, but the execution is terrible. Bad! |
|
Prelude & Fugato - arranged by BeeZerkReview by LaLa, 29/10/2021 While the SID (and thus, its remix) is based on a Bach piece, BeeZerk managed elevate it to new sonic heights with elegance and grace. Sounds wonderful! |

Myth - History In The Making - arranged by Marton BenczeReview by LaLa, 28/10/2021 Hello and welcome to the Commodore remix community! Üdvözlünk! A synth-heavy version of the classic Jeroen Tel tune, which goes to the dark side more than once. It's put together well, although I think the overall arrangement could be a bit more sophisticated. Looking forward to hear more remixes from you! |

Lightforce (2021 Edit) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by tim_forsyth, 26/10/2021 Red for me, partly because this is a great remix but mainly cause you've improved almost everything from your original. Guitar playing is more natural, especially the end lead solo, replacing some synths for guitar give is a more cohesive sound. Less reverb and boominess on the bridge, the thinned out pulse width synth sounds better plus the drums and toms sit better in the mix. Great work, these may be subtle changes but they make a big difference. |

Ocean Loader 4 (Beneath the Current) - arranged by Octupus Tea offlineReview by LaLa, 26/10/2021 Welcome to the Commodore remix community!
A nice, minimalist arrangement which would be fitting as the soundtrack to a kids toy. Nice touch with the waves sample ( The mix sounds too dry, I think adding some reverb would've helped create a better aquatic atmosphere. But not bad for a first remix, not bad at all! |
|
Lightforce (2021 Edit) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by LaLa, 24/10/2021 I have no idea how you manage to get your mixes sound so crisp and clear, but doesn't matter on what system I listen to this one, it just punches through speakers and headphones no problem. Anyway, I gave your previous version an orange 2 years ago, and this one definitely earns the red one. More guitars, less reverb/echo on the lead, and just an improved sound overall. I wish the guitar lead was more nuanced at places (like at 4:36 maybe should've used mutes instead), but that's just a minor gripe. I really like it! |

Lightforce - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by vosla, 21/10/2021 Would like go into details so much but I'm an idiot when it comes to music. |

Lightforce - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by LaLa, 19/10/2021 Tim is proving himself to be quite the remix meister, and here's another proof of that. A surprising, but very creative intro followed by a more upbeat PS: Prior to release Tim put up just the intro part of his remix in the R64 forum for people to guess which tune's remix it is. I don't think anybody got it right, including me. That was a fun little game. 😉 |
