Gaplus - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 05/10/2021 As happy as I am to finally hear a remix of this almost-forgotten Jeroen Tel tune, this one leaves me a bit unsatisfied. The simplistic arrangement is obviously intentional, but it feels to me there's a The whistling towards the end was a pleasant surprise, even if it's a bit out of tune here and there, but that just makes it sound more real. 😉 |

Dominator Loader (Dominant mix) - arranged by Ctrl-ZReview by Shargo, 30/09/2021 I really like this song, it's drive, sounds - all comes together in a nice upbeat song |

Last Ninja Remix - The Sewers Intro (2021 Remix) - arranged by Fabio MarinelliReview by LaLa, 29/09/2021 This remix creates a really nice atmosphere right out of the gate. It's a nice mixture of gentle mystery and a subtle, creepy background. But… just when I am about to get into it, it ends. More, please! |

Dominator Loader (Dominant mix) - arranged by Ctrl-ZReview by Nibe, 28/09/2021 The extension made it more complex! I prefer longer remixes and it made the song not overloaded with unnecessary repetitions. keep it up guys! |

Dominator Loader (Dominant mix) - arranged by Ctrl-ZReview by mv0nti, 26/09/2021 Refreshing, up-beat, cool breaks, good variations, and exactly the right dose of blirps! 😉 Not only a neat interpretation, but also a remarkable extension of the original! |

Lightforce - arranged by Skaven252Review by Dr Future, 17/09/2021 Very good remix, nice to hear. Especially the steam boat sound at 2:23 is a cool fx. |

Ghosts n Goblins (Ghosts n Thrillers) - arranged by MakkeReview by Nibe, 17/09/2021 I want a whole thriller album remakke-d!! Can we do a crowdfunding for that? This remix summons all up what we love about your style! 100%yes! |

Lightforce - arranged by Skaven252Review by LaLa, 17/09/2021 Wow, quite an honor to see Skaven's name pop up here - a legend all by himself! It's actually kinda funny to see the moniker He has graced us with his first ever SID remix submission - and what a remix it is! A hybrid symphonic-electronic cinematic style tour-de-force. It's 6+ minutes long, but there's not a single boring moment in it. My favorite is probably the super-raspy brass from 2:23 - holy moly, that just cuts straight through to my bones! An absolutely jaw-dropping production, just top-notch. Love it. 👍👍👍 Welcome, Skaven, and I hope you'll take the time to create more SID/Amiga remixes in the future, too! |

Gerry The Germ #7 - arranged by o2Review by Zod, 14/09/2021 Looks like I'm dancing alone at the start but after that my boobs start to dance with me, but wait… what? |

Supremacy (Cobalt8 Mix) - arranged by RamjetReview by LaLa, 11/09/2021 Welcome to the remix community, Ramjet! 🙋♂️ A fairly straightforward cover of the classic SID, closely following the original's arrangement. So, nothing to complain about there. What's missing here is some sophistication in the instrumentation. I don't know if that was deliberate, but they all sound fairly flat with little movement, other than some reverb that got sprinkled around. I'd say pretty good for a newbie, so keep at it! |

Ghosts n Goblins (Ghosts n Thrillers) - arranged by MakkeReview by Dan, 01/09/2021 Classic Makke, a real treat of a throwback to when RKO had a bit of character 😃 |

Ghosts n Goblins (Ghosts n Thrillers) - arranged by MakkeReview by wobbler, 01/09/2021 I'm just so happy that Makke re-entered the … eh,scene. His (yours, Makke) stuff continues to be super innovative, packaged in a purrfect retro box. All I want, really. |

Beat To The Pulp - Metal Tribute (2021) - arranged by XxDUSTYxXReview by mhailingsworth, 31/08/2021 I really love this sound, it is really solid!! And awesome guitar riffs as wel… great work!!! |

GRG-Title Needed - arranged by MagnarReview by myridian, 28/08/2021 This song is quitehappy, if that's a description. It certainly always lifts my spirits when I am feeling down. |

Terra Cresta - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by LaLa, 27/08/2021 Tim must have a built-in awesomizer. Somehow he was able to take an iconic Galway tune and make it even better. We don't even get to hear the iconic lead until 3 minutes into the tune, but it's not like it's all boring up to that point, on the contrary. And that lead: why mess with perfection, just use the SID as-is! And then he goes into his now-signature improv section that always elevates his remixes to new heights, and it's no exception here. I'm absolutely blown away by this remix! |

Beat To The Pulp - Metal Tribute (2021) - arranged by XxDUSTYxXReview by MORBID, 25/08/2021 Holy shiitake balls! Your remix slaps harder than my dad after he comes back from the bar! |

Turrican II Title - Hang Ten Mix - arranged by 0Supereg0Review by hyperunknown/Noice, 24/08/2021 Seriously though, the sound and audio-image of this is just spectacular. It's like you're actually standing just infront of the stage at a live show. Props on the whole acoustic/live-feeling! Music-wise it's great, very 60's (I think?), reminds me ofFortunate Sonby Creedence Clearwater Revival, same kinda feeling. Overall 10/10, I'm adding this to my playlist for sure! |

Black Lamp - arranged by SlaygonReview by LaLa, 22/08/2021 While sonically perfect, it feels like this remix is trying to compress about 10 minutes worth of musical material into 3. 5 minutes of a whirlwind. I get it, that was the time limit of the Árok compo, but it makes the arrangement feel a bit too mishmashy to me. |

Ocean Loader - Modern Metal Mix - arranged by UnderphilReview by LaLa, 17/08/2021 Overall, not bad, good use of the double guitars hard-panned left and right, but let me point out a couple of issues with this remix:1. The intro (and the outro) is nice, but the licks really have nothing to do with the rest of the track, so they are a strange bookend. 2. The guitar lead starting at 2:01 (and @3:25) sounds extremely flat, void of any articulation. |
|
Lightforce - arranged by MixerReview by Frida Katarina, 14/08/2021 One of my favourites. It builds up a bit slow and the end part seems a little bit dull, but that's only because the middle part is so powerful. Once it kicks off, it flies sky high. I really like the choice of instrument on the lead there, and the right amount of reverb fits it just perfectly. And the promising fanfare subtly bubbling up in the background, and the little twist at the end of the flourish. Well done. Thank you. |

Power Drift (Low carbs more cow Bell) - arranged by 0supereg0Review by LaLa, 14/08/2021 The mix is all over the place, the rhythm guitars are especially muddy. Got some nice ideas in there, but I think this track should've spent more time in the mixing department for polishing. |

Star Soldier - arranged by AarrowReview by LaLa, 12/08/2021 Kudos for picking an obscure little-known tune for your remix! The arrangement is not exactly sophisticated, but it's charming. Great choice of instruments. Looking forward to more productions from you! |

Bossa Nova - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 06/08/2021 Perfect marriage of original SID and remix musical style! Finally, something different! Very nicely done. |
|
Hardware & Hubbard - arranged by MakkeReview by LaLa, 04/08/2021 Still sounding great after all those years! This has everything: multiple Hubbard tunes, hip-hop beat, Commodore ad samples, andlyricsthat only a true C64 geek can understand. |
|
Why Not (Dope Out) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Diatonator, 26/07/2021 That's how I imagine DRAX tunes fleshed out intorealinstruments! I definitely need to do something of sort. 2:10 part really screams for good humanguitar solo though! Could provide if you want actually.. |
|
Microprose Soccer (Chug it) - arranged by SlaygonReview by monty, 19/07/2021 This one is a grower! I think it deserved a better result in the compo and I can only speculate that the slow build-up maybe doesn't work extremely well for a compo entry. However, regarding the slow build-up I think the goosebump-inducing main part (from 2:30 on) should have been extended. Btw. I bought the game back then and I cannot remember that tune at all hence the low nostalgia factor…😉 |

Obliterator - arranged by Romeo KnightReview by peterparker, 17/07/2021 Obliterators theme was always one of my favorite themes. Unfortunately the game was itself not very good and also not very popular. Romeo Knight re-created the right atmosphere (as always) how this song would sound today. For my taste was the allister Brimble remix much to soft with the heavy emphasis on synths. Obviously Obliterator needs a brute guitar asThe Obliteratoris not some distinguished undercover cop in miami but a goddamned one man show here to save the earth and humanity. Well done and greetings to D-Town! |

Microprose Soccer (Chug it) - arranged by SlaygonReview by LaLa, 17/07/2021 Mordi has the mordifier, Slaygon has the slaygonizer. A larger-than-life cinematic version of a SID subtune that is less than 30 seconds long - it has been slaygonized. Dark and gritty, grandiose and in-your-face. If they ever make a Hollywood epic about MicroProse Soccer, this should be its title tune. |

Stranger in a Strange Land (Complete Mix) - arranged by 0supereg0Review by LaLa, 11/07/2021 The issues with this remix are multi-pronged. While the original SID has a great hook, its overall arrangement is just nonsensical and mish-mashy. Unfortunately, that arrangement is followed here way too closely. Second, sounds like a lot of parts were based on a straight SID2MIDI conversion: they are lifeless, and barely add anything to the original arrangement. Third, while individually the instruments probably sound fairly decent, together they just don't convey any emotion - it's like robots playing them from a set score. 0supereg0 - I know you can do better than this. |

The Last Ninja - arranged by MASTER BOOT RECORDReview by LaLa, 09/07/2021 A gritty, industrial approach to this oft-remixed theme, in an 'extended cut' style. I quite like the arpeggiated sequences, too.But I think the real highlight of this remix is the clever re-arrangement of the tune, I really appreciate the effort that went into that. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. |
