Echoes of Eternity - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by PixelGrinch, 02/07/2024 Let's face it, Johan Danielsson back then already put the bar pretty high for his time with his SID. Your remix is spot on, I am with @lomaxx in regards of the lead is a bit thin compared to the guitar, tiny gripe though. Thanks for Sharing! |

Stormlord Arok full length - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by PixelGrinch, 02/07/2024 So old school what a great remix, captured my attention right away! So many changes in the song and its all harmonizing well together! Brilliant! |

Trivia v2 - TH3 Plugin Experiment - arranged by OxxReview by johnwbyrd, 02/07/2024 Thank you so much, for taking my terrible little chiptune from 1984, and making it into something special.I wrote this theme when I was 14! I hope I have done better since then. You have made the theme into a completely new and better song! THANK YOU!! |

Last Ninja 2 (Corporate Clash Ninja Battle mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by xazzo, 29/06/2024 AI generated content is just soulless, and I don't have anything nice to say about any of it. If actual effort by an actual person had gone into this remix, it would be a whole other matter. |

Last Ninja 2 (Ninja's Return mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by xazzo, 29/06/2024 This is just more AI generated junk, totally forgettable and ultimately nothing but a waste of time. |

RoboCop (Binary Hearts Beating In Time mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offlineReview by xazzo, 29/06/2024 It's just sad when people hide behind AI and pretend to be creative. No real effort went into the music and all you're doing is fooling yourself. The world doesn't need any more AI crap. |

The Great Giana Sisters (Soundtrack Version) - arranged by Mario BarbieratoReview by PixelGrinch, 25/06/2024 A slow version of the Giana Sisters that is simply breathtaking. What an experience! Masterpiece! Thank you Mario! |

Avenge - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 16/06/2024 A great talent for mixing SID and rhythm. I'm sorry it didn't last a little longer. |

The Stationary Ark - arranged by amoonReview by Glyn R. Brown, 10/06/2024 Now this is one educational remix, Ha!… Behind those spoken words sits a very emotional & beautifully crafted composition, just what I needed 😊 I really enjoyed this remix… |

The Stationary Ark - arranged by amoonReview by LaLa, 09/06/2024 Excellent concept done really well. From the whale songs to the Earth-based factoids (with a big nod towards Vangelis) it's just a really good, cohesive piece that also pays homage to the original TV series of the same title. And on top of it the tune would totally stand on its own even without the voiceovers. A wonderful piece, thanks for sharing it with us! PS: A [b]HUGE[/b] thank you, amoon, for finding that video of the original, genuine theme song! You have no idea how long I've been searching for it! Many of the videos on the Internet that claimed to be the genuine original were just remixes of it snagged from RKO. Then there's also [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVONJYw9gvU this from 2019] but I think John Mills-Cockell admitted that this wasn't the OG tune, but rather a recreation of it. So, again: THANK YOU! |

Textuality (and more) - arranged by BeeZerkReview by ziona, 01/06/2024 Listening through the original SID with all its 7 subtunes, I really gotta put this review here. BeeZerk did not only re-iterated this song but added A LOT of own elements to it which elevated the whole thing to an awesome whole new funky level! The bassline is super-catchy and his own melody lines he brings in at 2:50 (that I suspect he referred to it as evolving to chaos) is simply something that after a few listens grows on you becoming a bombastic lead-attack where all notes fall into place!My only wish technically is that the kicks and snares could punch harder, but that's it! This is a superior composition with well-fitting unique touches! |

Thrust (Jeremy Smith Edit) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Wallyrt, 26/05/2024 Outstanding Thrust composition. Love the e guitars and the Digital effects. Well done and a superp tune. |

Cauldron (Haunted Orchestra Remix) - arranged by amoonReview by LaLa, 22/05/2024 The creepiness factor in your instrument selection is definitely there, it creates the intended atmosphere. Problem is, this tune (and your arrangement of it) has lots of repetitive notes in it, and to make it sound less robotic, you either need instruments with several round-robin samples, or you need to introduce some subtle variations yourself (filtering, or other effects with an LFO). The thumps were also a good idea, but I find the sidechaining on it too strong, as it overpowers everything else. The strings give out a certain Stranger Things vibe to me, but again, they sound a bit too robotic. Overall, an ambitious endeavor, but I think this gem of an idea wasn't polished well enough. But I'm looking forward to more remixes from you! |

Miami Vice - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 08/05/2024 The parts I like the best is where the vocal is added to the mix - I wish there was more of that! It sounds really deep with that female singer. As Eivind also mentioned it, this may not be a 1:1 cover, but it definitely conveys the spirit and the feeling of the original SID tune, and it does it really well. Also, just like the STIL mentions it, too, this is not exactly an original Martin Galway composition. The arpeggiated chord sequence that is the backbone of this tune, plus some other parts are covering Jan Hammer's tune for the |

Nebulas - arranged by XandraReview by V-12 Tropyx, 17/04/2024 While listening to this remix I am going to the journey of 8-bit C64 nostalgia. The sounds somehow reminds me some old Jeroen Tel waves. Congrats! |

Smile to the Sky - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by TLF, 17/04/2024 Quite often I won't like a C64 conversion as much as the original, something always seems to get lost, maybe it's the way the waveforms react with each other on SID. This however is a masterpiece and certainly not easy to play. The emotion carries through, top marks, absolutely nailed it. |

Shades - arranged by Tim ForsythReview by LaLa, 16/04/2024 For me it'll always be hard to top Hülsbeck's own 1991 remake of this tune from his same-named album, or Detert's slower paced version from the R64 v2 album, but this comes really darn close to those, especially since Tim put his own spin on this tune. So many nice touches here with carefully chosen instruments, and a wonderful arrangement to boot. Very nicely done, Tim! |

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 End Tune - arranged by Tony Fluke73 WirenReview by Oxx, 12/04/2024 While the execution is perfect, the lead at 01:47 is above all expectations, the reasons this is not all three REDs for me are:1. The arpeggios, which are the main characteristic of this tune in my opinion, are not the same. Somewhere in the original tune the arpeggios play isolated and that is the greatest part for my humble ears and the signature of the tune. 2. At 01:56 the part of the melody is different than the original, this may well be intentional. I listened to the original one to comfirm this. Overall, this is again great great work Tony. Let's imagine you went to a friend's party and someone played this live! Amazing. |

Space Harrier - arranged by Peter ClarkeReview by peltazoid, 10/04/2024 I think I missed this back in 2020, this such a fantastic adaptation of a great tune, reminds me a bit of something Sky would have done. Vibes of Yellow Magic Orchestra & ELO. Where is the bit at around 15 seconds from?? It is driving me mad! (Discovered what it is, Endless Dream by Yes) |
|
Dignified - arranged by Rock & JLDReview by LaLa, 05/04/2024 How the heck has this classic Reyn tune never been remixed before?!? This is just great, lots of energy, excellent guitar work, perfect choice of style for the remix. |
|
Blue (Clarinet Lounge) - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 05/04/2024 It could be a little slower next time. A good selection of instruments, the tempo is a bit faster, but the overall impression is fine. |
|
The Power Of Pain (Tendance loader) - arranged by BeeZerkReview by Divus, 02/04/2024 Great remix. Maybe the sequencing needed a bit of work, but the overall impression is fine. |

Rymddisko - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by Divus, 24/03/2024 You can dance with this head all night. Maestro once again showed how 64 kb 30 years ago can sound in 2024. |

Ninja in a V8 (Last Ninja + Last V8, Fusion Remix) - arranged by VandahliaReview by LaLa, 19/03/2024 I give you lots of plus points for your creativity: this is a fun mashup of those famous game tunes! Unfortunately, this remix also suffers from some pain points: the mix sounds mostly mono; and there are some 'odd' choices of chord/bass selection here and there (e.g. @1:16 and @2:10); the instruments also sound a bit 'dated' (admittedly, it's hard to explain this one). But thatLast Ninja return to base immediatelyvocoded speech cracks me up every time I listen to it! 😁 |

F-14 Tomcat (2010 Remix) - arranged by AbdelmoumenReview by Tpmccusker, 08/03/2024 I like this one, it's precise and doesn't sound cluttered and noisy like some of the others I've heard. |
|
Robocop 3 - Main Theme - arranged by VandahliaReview by LaLa, 03/03/2024 I think it's a well-arranged remix, especially for a newcomer. Although sounds like you've been remixing for quite a while now. 🙂Your choice of instrumentation sounds pretty solid. I think the mix lacks some punchiness, though. It also sounds rather mono, with most instruments crowding in the center, and only some reverb/echo spreading into the side channels. |

The Way of the Exploding Fist - arranged by MolomReview by Dr.j Delysid, 02/03/2024 i don't often heat such amazing and memorizing remixes of the classic game from mid 80s . fuckin' awesome work!! |

Syncopated (by Laxity) - arranged by VernestReview by lmccrea, 02/03/2024 This remix is a fantastic modern version of the SID tune. Really well done. I don't see any issues with it. I'm not sure what is wrong with some of the community members here - if you're gonna nitpick, of course you gonna find problems. |
