That start gives me goosebumps indeed! The rest is also fab! Perfect backdrop for coding. 😃

Lightforce - arranged by Markus Schneider

Review by LaLa, 31/12/2018

Very soundtracky, a perfect homage to Rob's classic. It doesn't fall into the trap of some other remixes that are also technically excellent, but tend to get boring as the tune goes on. Instead, Markus managed to inject several careful changes into the arrangement and instrumentation that keep the momentum going while also keeping with his chosen style for the remix. Your love affair with Lightforce, Markus, really shines through! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Commando (Super Joe Rmx) - arranged by Uraniummind

Review by LaLa, 21/12/2018

A valiant mega-effort which is brought down by a few serious issues. The arrangement is varied enough to keep my interest up throughout the remix, but some odd dissonant sections, questionable choice of instrumentation, and sorely lacking post-processing make it sound worse than it really should.

Arkanoid Highscore - arranged by Jeroen Tel

Review by Markus Gecko, 19/12/2018

Should have been called the needed 20 years ago mix… Very very Ferry Corsten and Veracocha-esq. Too old and sober now to really enjoy this

Last Ninja 2 Song 12 - arranged by DJ Cyberdog

Review by symbols, 19/12/2018

The Effort counts. Very limited instrument range and some bad notes at that, the drums are safe and unoriginal as is the composition. A good effort for a first submission but I'd review it with fresh ears of your own and soon you will discover the lack of overall quality.

Druid 2 - arranged by Instant Remedy

Review by Nihilanth, 05/12/2018

It differentiates from the original piece of music. But it still has a great melody, and I first heard this song in a Half-Life 20th anniversary tribute. It feels nostalgic listening to this song, and I was hoping I could use it in a GoldSrc-based video game I was making. Keep the tracks coming!

Zoom (NecroPolo C64 Hypercharger remix) - arranged by NecroPolo

Review by LaLa, 26/10/2018

Loved it the first time I heard it at Árok Party 2018! Then I was thrilled that we were able to include it in the Johannes Bjerregaard charity album. And I am very delighted it is now available on RKO, too.

It's an amazing remix of a much underrated JB tune. It has, of course, received proper NecroPolo treatment with overdriven and distorted sounds, containing so much SID-caffeine that it pumps me up every time I listen to it. ROC=K ON, C=ommodore!!!

Monty on the Run (rockmetal cover) - arranged by Vaggelis Papadopoulos

Review by LaLa, 13/10/2018

I encouraged Vaggelis in a YT comment to upload his remix here, too - and I'm glad he did! What I really like in this remix is that he actually plays every single note of the original on his guitar: the devilishly fast runs, the slides, the arpeggiated non-melodic effects - I'm in awe of his technique!

Defender of the Crown - arranged by Colmarr

It's cool to hear this tune, and the execution is very interesting. Unfortunately, for me personally it falls apart in the middle when you get the Theremin like lead.

Nemesis The Warlock - arranged by SoundLogic

Review by eobet, 11/10/2018

Usually people go full out with the medieval symphonies, but this is a nice mix between chip and medieval themes. It's very faithful and has a good sound mix. The orchestrated sounds could be better and deeper, though.

Last Ninja Wilderness loader - arranged by SHEN LON

Review by jemym, 09/10/2018

A remix that keeps the original song, making up to date and add a dance vibe to it. The reworked bits blends right in as if they were part of the original. A professional remix and an instant classic of a rarely remixed tune.

Love this tune, and this is not a bad version. The base line is a little too overpowered/dominant for my tastes, but it's a good boppy little version.

Last Ninja 3 - Wind - arranged by Gavin Lucas

Review by symbols, 31/07/2018

The best wind of Last Ninja 3 so far, its a challenging tune. I can see that some of the instruments were a challenge. It resembles the original really well and I guess more work on this seeing as its now 13 years old would be great to hear from this composer.

Last ninja 3 - Earth (2018 mix) - arranged by Crono

Review by jemym, 24/07/2018

Earth is one of my favorites in the Last Ninja archives. This is a very good rendition of the tune that was much needed. It have enough new to not clone the original, and yet enough old to keep its authenticity allowing me to consider it a 'remaster' as much as a 'remix'.

Nemesis The Warlock - arranged by SoundLogic

Review by LaLa, 17/07/2018

Opens with a very interesting combination of a choir and rough electronica, and later on it sprinkles it with some cinematic orchestra. It all builds up to a crescendo, which is suddenly interrupted by acoustic guitars. Then it resumes the more bombastic style, but we never really get a resolution out of it. Instead the piece just… ends. I think a bit more cohesion in style would've helped tremendously.

Last Ninja (Level 5 The Palace) - arranged by SoundLogic

Review by LaLa, 17/07/2018

I am very confused by this remix. Starts out in a very nice, serene oriental style. But that lasts only until about a minute a half when there's an inexplicable change in tone and style to more aggressive electronica. Then I get confused even further when at around 2 minutes the guitars appear. What? Why? By this time the opening oriental style completely disappears in the background. And then all this is capped by the original SID towards the end. Umm, okay…

Overall, this tune has all the hallmarks of a decent production, but the minute-by-minute stylistic changes make my head spin.

Rambo Loader - arranged by SHEN LON

Review by mike_c64, 13/07/2018

This track made me create an account here, so that I could comment on this one. There are good tracks and then there are really really good tracks… and then, sometimes, once every third year a track like this shows up. I can listen to this like 15-20 times in a row. It gives me that special feeling every time. Thank you Shen Lon.

Last Ninja (The Wilderness) - arranged by Cytex

Review by jemym, 13/07/2018

For Last Ninja 1, Last Ninja Wilderness in-game is the most popular, having almost as many remixes as the rest of the tunes combined. In that heavy competition, Cytex remix of Last Ninja is the most authentic while still being a darn good remix. If there was ever a remaster album of Last Ninja where only one remix per tune is picked, this is a good nominee for the 4th track, and that is a honor.

Cybernoid II - Title (Enhanced) - arranged by MusicWizard

Review by LaLa, 12/07/2018

The notes are there, the arrangement is fairly faithful to the original, but it just sounds flat and emotionless. The electric guitar and the bass are both rather unexciting, for example. Needs more variation, better mixing, more vibrato, more effects… anything to make it sound more exciting.
