Lightforce - arranged by Tim Forsyth

Review 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 straight remix of Lighforce, and it concludes with a much darker outro. As usual with Tim's remixes, the mixing is top-notch and it all just sounds very satisfying to my ears. PS: Prior to release [https://www.remix64.com/board/viewtopic. php? f=1&t=11773 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. 😉

Gaplus - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review 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 real remix waiting to burst out of it - but it never does. Too bad, because it really has all the elements that would make it great - we just don't hear them all together at the same time. 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. 😉

Last Ninja Remix - The Sewers Intro (2021 Remix) - arranged by Fabio Marinelli

Review 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!

The extension made it more complex! I prefer longer remixes and it made the song not overloaded with unnecessary repetitions. keep it up guys!

Lightforce - arranged by Skaven252

Review 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 Newcomer next to his name (at the time of this writing) - which he most definitely isn't. 😁 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!

Supremacy (Cobalt8 Mix) - arranged by Ramjet

Review 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!

Terra Cresta - arranged by Tim Forsyth

Review 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!

Turrican II Title - Hang Ten Mix - arranged by 0Supereg0

Review 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 of Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival, same kinda feeling. Overall 10/10, I'm adding this to my playlist for sure!

Black Lamp - arranged by Slaygon

Review 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 Underphil

Review 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 Mixer

Review 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.
