Disgrace (Dreamers Remix) - arranged by LeaReview by bitninja, 18/01/2020 Lovely tune! Great choice of chords and sounds, beautiful singing 😊 All I could wish for would be a little less autotune and a few more surprices. Great work!! |

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHashReview 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. |

Last Ninja 2 - Central Park - arranged by LukHashReview by Markus Gecko, 09/01/2020 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? |

Dynamic Range (Perhaps Not In Range After All) - arranged by WobblerReview by goblin, 03/01/2020 Great dance track with lots of oomph. Well thought out instrumentation. No nitpicks. If you're into F. A. M. E, would *love* a remix of my all-time favourite track of theirs, My Instinct. 😊 |

Last Ninja 3 (in - out mix) - arranged by Gerd BahlReview by drcode, 29/12/2019 I enjoyed the relaxed way the original tune was introduced between the cool background music |

The Human Race - arranged by MRTReview by LaLa, 21/12/2019 You can hear it in the first bars already that this is going to be special. Has that unique scene-vibe to it that is hard to explain. Love it. |

Amazing Fireworks - arranged by gibsReview by nous, 13/12/2019 I still remember the day I first heard this tune. I let it play over and over and over, and I regretted I had just a mono-1084 instead of a 1081 or 1084-S. |

Sidology 2 Trinity - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by Steve Foster, 09/12/2019 The beginning of this track is perfect when I start my journey to work. Then when the rest kicks in it just makes me walk faster! I love it!!! |

Turrican 2 - The Great Bath - Orchestral - arranged by Greg EatonReview by kjetiln, 04/12/2019 Excellent arrangement! Love it! Execution wise it could be a little better, as it sounds a little dry. We can also hear it is not played by a real orchestra, although it is obvious that it is pretending to be. Plus for great arrangement, and minus for not sounding as great as it could be. I can only hope and believe that the arranger will improve and I can't wait to hear what will come from him in the future! |

The Settlers - Main Theme - arranged by Space InfadersReview by kjetiln, 01/12/2019 Really good attempt at doing an authentic remix, which when coming to the Settlers soundtrack, is a really ambitious task! Overall this doesn't come out as a huge improvement compared to the original. Some instruments sounds too simple and sharp, and it could just as well have been the game's soundtrack, which is not bad, but a remix should add something. Some parts are very nice and improve upon the original. |

Rambo Loader - arranged by SHEN LONReview by PhotonMan, 30/11/2019 Excellent, incredible. The nostalgic sentment rises. Galway is a Grand Master. This song remember my child period watching Rambo. |

The Last V8 (Metal Tribute) - arranged by XxDUSTYxXReview by The Crusher, 25/11/2019 Decent job!I always liked the original, but this remix is a powerful and well arranged homage to its original. Both thumbs way up! |
|
Hawkeye loader - arranged by Da Phuture KemistReview by pszgabor, 24/11/2019 I don't agree with the most reviews on this tune, it is well underrated. Not the best I've ever heard, but it is well deservedly placed in the best 10%, at least on my list. |

Dominator (Welcome to Korriban mix) - arranged by Socky TheRealReview by LaLa, 23/11/2019 First of all: welcome! It's always good to hear material here from new folks! Having said that, this remix needs more love. The drums have a weird phaser/eq effect on them that makes them sound like they're in a metal shed. The arrangement overall has a good direction, and the instrumentation is quite unique. But somehow none of these seem to gel together into an good quality piece. |

Space Control Remixperience (Live Theremin Mix) - arranged by MartinlandReview by LaLa, 23/11/2019 First off: I'm in awe of your Theremin skills! From what I know, it's a very hard instrument to master as there are zero reference points for the chromatic scale on it - because it's all in the air, literally. So, I bow my head to you for the Theremin parts of this remix.But the rest of the remix sounds rushed and unimaginative - it's essentially the original SID tune sampled and looped. If you replaced that with just a simple chord progression and nothing else, I think that would've accentuated the Theremin track, too. TL;DR: Theremin = awesome. Looped SID sample as a bed = meh. |

Garfield - arranged by Reyn OuwehandReview by Jaxxon64, 13/11/2019 Great cover, great 'thin picked' Bass, love the blues honky-tonk piano, respectful to the original. Great job! |

Dynamic Range (Perhaps Not In Range After All) - arranged by WobblerReview by LaLa, 09/11/2019 Wow, the number of times I must've heard this tune in demos and crakctros!… … I can't believe it hasn't been remixed before. You're right, Wobbler: I think there's more potential in this tune. Your remix is pretty good by itself, though, and cheers for keeping the whistle intact towards the end. |

Cream of the Earth (Firefox Dirty Drummer Remake vs. Romeo Knight) - arranged by FirefoxReview by lee.oades, 08/11/2019 I don't usually like the electric guitar versions of classic computer tunes, but this one was excellent. Great playing and a joy to here the old tune given some love. |

LN2 - The Mansion ACE II (Stealth intAIRsection) - arranged by SIDNIFYReview by LaLa, 04/11/2019 Unfortunately, I can only go as high as a red smilie with my vote, otherwise I would go higher. Flaming hot red smilie, anyone?… … Let's see: serene intro complete with gentle piano? Check. Skull-shattering electric guitar? Check. SID arpeggios? Check. Ace 2, one of Hubbard's best tunes? Check. Tune from LN2, one of Matt Gray's best ones? Check. Impeccable arrangement and mix? Check. Me voting red on this remix? Check, check, CHECK! Well-deserved winner of the first ever BIT Live remix compo! PS: If you vote anything less than red smilie on this one, please, explain yourself in a shout… |

Chronicles - arranged by Jogeir LiljedahlReview by LaLa, 03/11/2019 I normally don't comment on remixes where I'm not familiar with the original SID, but I just had to make an exception for this one. Whenever I listen to this remix (and I've done that several times already), I have an overwhelming sense of nostalgia: I can't help but think of this as an Amiga MOD - times a thousand! This arrangement oozes chiptune style, even though it's not really a chiptune. But it FEELS like one! A fantastic scene production! If you are not familiar with it, I also urge you to go and listen to the Dane's original SID, because that's pretty good, too. |

Lightforce - arranged by SlaygonReview by LaLa, 03/11/2019 When I heard the intro of this song at BIT live, I was like Oh, no, not ANOTHER Lightforce remix! (There are almost 50 of them in RKO as of this writing, not to mention the various album versions.)But you know what: this is really great arrangement! It has just enough edginess to it to make it unique (even though it's not fully Slaygonized). It's also more uptempo than the original, so there's a sense of urgency to it, driven by a simple, but effective rhythm section. And that long outro is just something else: the way it decomposes the song to oblivion is superb. |

Bangkok Knights - arranged by Eivind SommerstenReview by LaLa, 03/11/2019 The instrumentation sounds really good, but somehow this arrangement feels too soft for the original material. I like the venue-appropriate (BIT Live) vocal shouts, too. This shows a lot of promise, so I hope to hear more from you! |
|
Lightforce (ft Lea) - arranged by MordiReview by LaLa, 03/11/2019 Lightforce Mordified! Lea's delicate voice is what really does it for me in this one. A lovely arrangement that captured my attention on the first listen at BIT Live. |

Commando HiScore (Just Whistling) - arranged by LaLaReview by joenemesys, 30/10/2019 Really really original and well built; very interesting the differentiation between various whistles and the climax towards the end. |
|
Lightforce - arranged by SlaygonReview by Gohanks, 29/10/2019 Heard it at BIT Live Bergen 2019, one of the best Lightforce remixes ever, very unexpected entry from Slaygon, but in the very best way possible 😃 |

Operation Wolf (Touched By The 80s Remix) - arranged by Sonic WandererReview by Odkin, 28/10/2019 Great 80ies feeling! - perfect style for this track. I miss the subdivisions of the chords a little but the tracks works great anyway 😊 |
|
Pinball Prelude Medley - arranged by RaptureReview by neriakX, 26/10/2019 Nice Story here in one track. It sure is a a top notch production! As many others already said… it's kind of a journey the listeneres are going through. Keep it up mate! |

Monty on the Run - High Score - arranged by JB XplodingfistReview by Poke16384, 21/10/2019 Firstly, welcome aboard and congrats on your 1st remix… The thing that hit me straight away, on the 1st listen was the lack of a bass-line. This is a fairly straightforward tune with a common, '4 chord trick'. (C-Am-F-G) is a structure, responsible for more hit songs, in the 60's than probably any other. As such, it's one our ears are familiar with and accustomed to and it needs variation to make it sound 'fresh'. Although Rob's original bass-line sticks rigidly to the 'root' notes, to bed down the structure, a bass-line could have been a neat way to vary the feel of this… Using 3 similar sounds for 'chord', 'arpeggio' & melody blends the mix a bit too much and buries the piano, melody line in places. The drums DO vary in places and the fills are nice but the kit, overall sounds a bit dry, (emphasised by the lack of bass-line)… The sequencing structure with identical, short note lengths, make for a mechanical feel to the tune. Good 1st effort and please don't be put off by the lukewarm responses to it… I hope it encourages you to immediately start on your next remix and I look forward to hearing it… |
