Ground (Re-Lec-Tro Mix) - arranged by Mitch van HaydenReview by Danko, 14/02/2022 When I grow up, I want to make a collaboration remix version of Ground with Mitch van Hayden, Teo/Rebels, Vincenzo/Rebels/Lethargy, DHS, Mordi and Mahoney. |

Venus the Flytrap - Translucent Plain (Trance Remix) - arranged by kjetilnReview by oxygen, 14/02/2022 The music you create and the rhythm make you want to go down to the dance floor.The poetry sections of the opera in the background add an atmosphere of atmosphere. Well done for the masterpiece. |

'Clever Music' Medley - arranged by TomskReview by Tas, 14/02/2022 The structure and how it morphs from one tune to another is quite impressive. It also shows that Tomsk is not a one trick pony. I really like how it mixes in between styles seamlessly - you'd never know it was medley unless you knew. Maybe misses some of the sprightliness of the originals and maybe a little somber but i can live with that. I think it a brilliant arrangement, well implemented and worthy of a very high score. |

'Clever Music' Medley - arranged by TomskReview by LaLa, 13/02/2022 Pardon my pun, but this is not just a [i]Clever[/i] medley, but it's also a very clever medley. The way the individual themes are weaved together it's so seamless, it sounds so effortless, it's jaw-dropping. (Although I know it must've required a ton of work to put it together like this. It's always hard work to make something sound so easy. 😀)On top of it, the instrument selection is spotless, too. The piano, the guitar, the sax, the vocal backing, the drums - all top-notch, and they all play together or alternate in a very natural way, depending on what a given section dictates. And I can't really complain about the mixing, either.At times this remix is poignant, at times it's uplifting, and it's pure nostalgia all over. One thing is sure: this piece will touch you one way or another. Well done, Tomsk, I really enjoy it! |

Ghosts 'n Goblins - arranged by Emanuele Siward PallozziReview by LaLa, 13/02/2022 Whoa, quite an entry for a newcomer! It's so good, I wish it was longer. Smashing! |

Crazy Comets (Komet Non Stop 2022 re-remix) - arranged by MakkeReview by LaLa, 13/02/2022 20 years later and even better than the original remix. Makke changed what needed to be changed to make it sound more modern (the instruments sound better, the mix is cleaner, the vocals stand out more), but left alone that was already very good to begin with (the overall song structure, the electro rhythm, the lyrics). As a Kraftwerk fan, I really liked what Makke has done with this SID tune in 2002 - and this latest version sounds even better. (just listen to them side-by-side and you'll hear the big step up in production value.) |

Sanxion (Don't Fall Asleep) - arranged by WobblerReview by LaLa, 13/02/2022 I love it! And despite its subtitle, I think I will fall asleep to this, it's the perfect tune for that! A bunch of wonderful spacey pads, a subtle violin, a beautiful, gentle arrangement at 72 bpm - everything is here, ready for chilling on a Saturday night! |

JT 42 (We Got the Fire) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 12/02/2022 Clever use of vocals, I really like it when you duck the chords with filtering to bring the singer forward. Crispy clean mix - maybe too clean if you were going for a full 80s style like the original Level 42 song. Your drum set is simply magnificent, excellent, punchy sounds! The piano improvs towards the end are really cool, too.And now for the negatives: the ending is a bit too abrupt for my taste. I wish there was some more variation in the rhythm section (other than the breaks) - it's certainly fine as is, it's a great groove by itself, but my ears get a bit tired of it by the end of the song. At times I wish the vocal was fattened up a bit more with (pitch-shifted) layering, especially when it's singing the We got the fire hook. That lead sound from 1:33 - I don't care for it much. That should've been a lead guitar, IMHO, that would've been killer.Despite my complaints it's a really good track, but I think with a bit more work it could've been outstanding. |

Paperboy Hi-Score (Angelized) - arranged by LaLaReview by joenemesys, 12/02/2022 Too enjoable! Really an original, fresh and at the same time warm rendition with that mild voice; the growing choir towards the end took me by surprise; I have to admit that I pissed myself by laughing with those sheep at the end! |

Steel Ranger End Credits - arranged by Markus SchneiderReview by LaLa, 05/02/2022 There's no substitute for talent. Never in a million years I would've thought that the original SID could be turned into such an epic piece - but here it is, thanks to Markus. Sounds absolutely fantastic! My only gripe is about its length: it could've been twice as long and I would've still complained about it being short. Oh, well, that's what the loop button is for. 😉 |

Missing you - arranged by JLDReview by LaLa, 05/02/2022 I am ashamed to admit that this is another SID I wasn't familiar with before. It has a really catchy melody in its chorus and thankfully, JLD retained it in full with all its nuances. Really like the electric guitars in this remix, I think they turned out quite well (despite being plugin-based). Great job overall, I really enjoy it! |

Thrust 2k4 - arranged by Marc GirardReview by milasoft, 05/02/2022 Hello from a fellow Canadian… cool riffs and a rocking beat!!! Greets from Ontario. I love this tune! |

Logical - Level 3 - arranged by EmzedReview by KayDee, 04/02/2022 I always loved this game. Will you remix the other tracks too? If so, I would like to use them for a retro remake of the game. |

Follow the Sign - arranged by Mirko HirschReview by electronscape, 31/01/2022 With a love of Laser Dance style music THIS absolutely smashs it!!! AND this instantly made my Commute so much more anticipating! THANK YOU!!! |

Mutants (The Mantra) [Cinematic64] - arranged by SlaygonReview by LaLa, 28/01/2022 It's gritty, highly textural, with lots of distortion and industrial sounds - just be careful with that volume button so it doesn't blow out your sub-woofer. This is still one of my favorite tracks from Cinematic 64. |
|
Goatlight (There's A Light That Never Goats Out) - arranged by WobblerReview by coyote64, 27/01/2022 This dance track is still very C64 while on the other hand has a very modern punch to it. Well done and very well constructed. Loved it immediately. |
|
Cyberdyne Warrior (Encore64) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 27/01/2022 Not what you'd expect from Glyn! it is a very modern take on the tune where vocal chops play an important role, mixed with SID sounds and some synth-pop elements. It may be a surprising stylistic choice for Glyn, but it's absolutely smashing, a complete earworm, and sets a very high standard for the rest of the Encore64 album. |
|
Plastic Pop - arranged by MRTReview by Danko, 24/01/2022 Maybe I don't know everything about Plasticpop. However, I did author the original version so there's that. Mordi found something in that 15 minute c64 sid thing I did as a joke back in the days. I had no idea Plasticpop had so much nostalgia, Mordi found it. 200+ something shitty remixes later (not here, on YouTube, look it up sorry), MRT adds quality to his remix. |

Ground (Klsch edit) - arranged by TeoReview by Danko, 24/01/2022 Rest, not OK. How many words, ja? Not OK. Not OK. Not. OK. Nicht. OK. |
|
Ground (Pump Up The Insomnia) - arranged by VincenzoReview by Danko, 24/01/2022 Blending several 90s anthems into something making my old SID seem as likewise, that is just amazing. |
|
Yes Comment (Prophet in a new day) - arranged by MozolowskiReview by Danko, 24/01/2022 Perhaps not a lot of arrangement going on, though. The original got some more progressions, and this rendition only cover a slight part of it. Still, great emotional cover of that slight part. |
|
Tribute to Atos - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Danko, 24/01/2022 Someone taking a very unpopular sid of mine, turning into a dubstylee track. What is not to love? Love you, Eivind! |

Afterburner (High Energy Prog Mix) - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by hillsman, 19/01/2022 First ever review for me. Afterburner was the first full price game I bought for C64 - it was a game my dad wanted to play! While the game was very much OK, the music was super. And while there are a couple of good remixes out there, this is simply spot on. It kicks off sounding just like original SID, then we get the drums, the guitars, that simple, yet effective bass…and the tempo is perfect. Thank you Peter - my fav remix for 2021. |

Uppercut (I put my life on it) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by BeeZerk, 16/01/2022 Beautiful composition of sounds and vocals. Everything fits well together. Good chosen sounds and the overall quality is superb. I adore the stereo mono friskyness and that particular funk feeling the tune is soaked in. Thank you for this elaborated piece, i really dig this! |
|
Lazy Bytes - arranged by JLDReview by wobbler, 15/01/2022 Oh, what a very pro sounding result! Happy to hear about your move to a new DAW (and I agree that the kick in the previous remix was perhaps a tad to much), but also sorry that you're leaving Reason for Cubase. Who am I now gonna poke for collabs, huh? Huh? 😊 |
|
Platoon - arranged by JLD & Dr.FutureReview by wobbler, 15/01/2022 Great stuff. The guitar really makes this remix a lot more personal. I just would like to have the snare (and most of the percussion) a lot less reverb:ed. Also, the remix kinda… … faded away without a proper ending? No? Perhaps it's just me. |
|
Giana Sisters - Arok - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by redm, 15/01/2022 Best ever version I've heard, technically and skillfully executed. Glynn… Your a genius with all your feeling and effort you put into it and you can tell you loved the original tunes. |

Druid II Enlightenment / Fairlight Crack Intro - arranged by LukHashReview by 32Bits, 09/01/2022 Was worried about a remix of a tune that was so nostalgic for me but LukHash did right by it. Familiar but new nostalgic but fresh. ticks all the boxes for me. great work! |
|
Druid II Enlightenment / Fairlight Crack Intro - arranged by LukHashReview by Moonshie, 09/01/2022 One of the best remixers in our time. All his old C64 tracks are awesome! Thnx Lukhash |

Stranger in a Strange Land (Ensoniq Mix) - arranged by LaLaReview by BeeZerk, 08/01/2022 Artisticly speaking it's a 1:1 rendition of the original SID, sounds very uninspired. The composition is great but i hear mostly Reyn and not a hint of LaLa. Soundwise it's kinda heavy on the ears, every track seems to have the same (high) loundness which sets the overall dynamic of this tune towards zero and gives it a strange and synthetic sounding. The short Hi-Hat is loud and harsh, overrides the whole environment. Overall it's very promising and i like the tune itself but i wish it would contain more of the remix formula or peculiarity in it. |
