Commando - Main Theme remix - arranged by moonove

Review by wobbler, 08/05/2020

I know, it's been remixed a hundred times, and yeah, the original is so good etc etc etc. But, this one is really minimalistic, has fresh sounds (yeah, really) and well … liked it. Thumbs up.

W.A.R. - arranged by V. Kaufmann

Review by LaLa, 02/05/2020

Epic! The entire ~10 min of W. A. R. is covered here, which is respectable by itself - but this remix is also really, really good! Starts with a synth intro that did not impress me that much, but once the guitar kicked in at 2:30 it really got my attention. From that point on it just keeps rolling, occasionally with dissonant, but mostly with prog-rock sections, with electric guitars dominating the rest of the remix. I think this is as close to the prog-rock style I'm guessing Mr. Hubbard originally imagined for this track as we'll get. Bravo!

Ghosts 'n Goblins - arranged by Colmarr

Review by LaLa, 20/04/2020

The usual unusual from Colmarr. Like with his other remixes, yet again I'm not sure where to place this remix. It has a definite lo-fi feel to it, sort of reminding me of the music of 70s era American TV shows. But it's not that obvious, so who knows? … I am not even sure the lo-fi mix was intentional? … But definitely gets plus points from me for trying something different.

Commando - arranged by Puffy64

Review by DjCzyszy, 30/03/2020

Classic Puffy64 sound. It's nice but not on par with modern production standards. I wonder if this is something new or a something that had been lying in the closet for well over a decade. It does sound like something that would've easily been made in the early 2000s. Well, on the other hand, listening to it, I can't help but feel as if time froze solid and the all those days never passed us by. But anyway: the guitars conflict with the SID sounds and the tone's a bit harsh. Also, the drums need to be more cutting in such a dense arrangement. Seems like there's too much going on. I do like the playing with the pinch harmonics and tasty bends though. So yeah, it's a mixed bag.

Ghosts'n Goblins (Oxy remix) - arranged by BaR

Review by LaLa, 03/03/2020

As a Jarre fan, I'll try to restrain myself and not nitpick my way through this. 😊 The sounds and the atmosphere are about as close to Oxygene as you can get. This is a really good in-the-style-of remix. I am a bit annoyed by the repeated noisy downers in the left and right channels (ie. the ones starting @ 1:36), but other than that it's hard to find a fault in it. You've weaved the theme of Ghosts'n Goblins into this tapestry of sounds in a very elegant way. Very nicely done!

Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing - arranged by Dr Future

Review by LaLa, 06/02/2020

Plus points for:

- choosing a relatively little-known tune
- game-appropriate crowd and announcement samples
- the choice of style
- good mixing
- cleverly stretching the 43 second SID tune to almost 3 minutes

Traz (Rapture Remix) - arranged by Fabian del Priore

Review by LaLa, 31/01/2020

What's really cool about this remix is that even though the arrangement hasn't been changed much from the original SID, the instruments are switched in and out so frequently, it never gets boring. The sheer number of instruments featured in this remix makes my head spin! It's a great synth-oriented remake.

Zoids - arranged by o2

Review by countzorg, 29/01/2020

I have come back to this, after hearing back in the early 2000s. It still feels as good as the day I heard it.
Beautiful. The fact you used the SuperNova confirms its brilliance too.

You have made Zoids into a sonic masterpiece.

Tusker (Guinness Book Of Long Intros Remix) - arranged by Wobbler

Review by LaLa, 28/01/2020

If I ignore that long flute tutorial intro and the annoying metronome sound, it's a very nice remix. I mean, she has a nice voice, but it just doesn't belong here. I'm guessing you were high on something when you added that intro. 😉 Other than that, I like the atmosphere of the song, it has a soothing quality to it.

Paperboy sub 2 - arranged by OJ Oscillation

Review by wobbler, 21/01/2020

Funky and fun. This one definitely deserves a higher rating than a plain lemonish yellowesque faceluring. Only critique (guess I have to leave *some*, no?) would be the somewhat high frequencies in the lead that are rolling around.

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHash

Review by wobbler, 21/01/2020

I do like the added drum sequences & lead + the occational glitch effects plus high frequency ending, and I do kinda like the overall work … but: too much sidechaining (like Lala said) and the bass drum + snare sound too harsh and takes over what I want to hear (if that makes any sense?)

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHash

Review by LaLa, 10/01/2020

This is a good remix, but I think you've set the bar higher for yourself with your previous remixes. In short, I think you can do better.

I am especially bothered by two things here: the arpeggios (yeah, I know they're in the original, too, but somehow they stick out like a sore thumb to me), and the strong, pumping sidechaining on the bass frequencies.

I think I can see where you're trying to take this with a Justice, Carpenter Brut style, but just needs that extra bit of attitude and rawness if that was what you were after?
