Spellbound - arranged by Mano

Review by LaLa, 03/03/2018

Very original for a Spellbound remix! Its style is a mashup between flamenco, Caribbean pirate, and a bit of Mexican mariachi, but in high-quality and in good taste. Really, really good job, Mano!

International Karate Part I (Synthwave Remix) - arranged by Strange Days

Review by LaLa, 16/02/2018

It's a nice retrofuturustic treatment of Hubbard's track.

The mix heavily favors the high-end throughout, which bothers me a bit. The arrangement really gets going after the full set of drums come in at 1:53, that got my hopes up high. However, the chords at 2:46 sound odd to me, both in texture and pitch, and they broke the illusion a bit.

The entire track reminds me a lot of Tangerine Dream's albums from the 80s, which I think is the style Strange Days was actually going for. Nicely done!

An epic and atmospheric dance track, fantastic vocals and great usage of the Green Beret motifs. I could hear this played in any serious DJ set.

Fist II - The Legend Continues - arranged by Imbehiiri (PsyMi)

Review by Commoflage, 24/01/2018

I loved this, the opening synth sound was sharp and nice, and when the beats came in… that made my day! A new style for this old classic, something I didn't think I'd hear. I'll definitely return to this one many times!

Deep, a little angry and drifting like a hot Tokyo roadster. Very nice use of the different melodies in an unexpected and delicious way. Excellent rework.

Auf Wiedersehen Monty & Commando - arranged by Jeroen Tel

Review by bgmnt, 14/01/2018

Erm… Dunno exactly what this is and the beats on the first part are pretty monotone like in a medley and I was not aware of the name JT until today I must confess and I only knew these two tracks/remixed separately, so i was not sure about this. But: This mixing is so straightforwarded and dynamic and propelling and mixed flawlessly - and at least hyped by the community… It catches you, at least, even in the last minute 😊

And since it has the perfect length for DJs, who need a long piece of sound for going to the restrooms without relying on automix… thumbs up! 😃

Mission of Mercy (Film Score) - arranged by Peter Clarke

Review by LaLa, 10/01/2018

It's always a treat to listen to a SID composer's own remake of his old tune - and this one goes way beyond being just a treat!

Even without your cue-list, the music here clearly tells a whole story, and it is, indeed, very cinematic - from the melancholic intro through the quiet but nervous anticipation in the middle to the cheerful ending.

The introduction of the harpsichord (or dulcimer?) at 1:21 is an unusual and rather unique touch. I quite like it!

This is a memorable arrangement for sure. Its only fault is the sudden ending - sounds like there was more to come, but it was faded out…

I'm a big fan of JT. This tune is no different from his other master pieces. It combines great mixing with amazing drive. Blending two classics together works perfectly this time with a seamless combination.

Project Firestart - arranged by Colmarr

Review by Grigul, 03/11/2017

Ok, that is hard for me to rate. First: is this music? Well, not for me. Maybe for others (at least one has given the red button, so there must be at least one who finds it awesome - but I have no idea why…), but for me it's a sample of noise. Sorry, Colmarr, but I have the feeling I have to be totally drunk or stoned to understand that track. If so, I screwed up - I never drink alcohol or took drugs.
Second: this should be a remix, just because it's submitted to remix64. Where's the original? Maybe someone can give it to me so I can compare the original to this remix. Sorry, so far it's just average to me.

Krypton - arranged by omoroca

Review by Grigul, 03/11/2017

well, first of all - thanks for sharing, omoroca. this tune is much better than the other ones you've submitted so far. I heared it now several times. I have the feeling that you are in a state of learning how to create a track. Especially the last minute gives me that feeling, it sounds like what can I add, what happens, when I press THIS or THAT. Besides that, the section from 2:30 to 4:00 is good. You should take that and try to create a good tune. The first part up to 2:30 sounds like somebody who just started to learn how to play an instrument.
Ergo: average tune, better than the other ones you've shared. Good middle section. Don't be too disappointed, see it as another step to a good tune.

Future Knight - arranged by Jarle H. Olsen

Review by Grigul, 03/11/2017

When I heared that track (must be yesterday) I thought Woooow. I'm still at that state - it's an awesome track. The bassy (or dark played) electric guitar (the one you hear first) and it's slow play are wonderful. Mr Olsen - great job!!! ^^

Spellbound Dizzy - Main Theme - arranged by Peter Gantar

Review by Grigul, 02/11/2017

First of all - thanks for charing that tune, Mr. Gantar. Afaik you're a newcomer, so we all know it's hard to come into this scene. I'm not a musician, so I can't imagine how much work it needs to deliver a tune here, but - It needs a better job to compete here, that's what I can say as Just-a-listener. I don't want to compare you, Mr Gantar, to other musicians and remixers here (that would be unfair in my opinion), but If you listen to them (especially to those who have also a yellow button or better) you hopefully recognize that they're better. A lot of them are for years in that scene, some even longer. Try to get next to them, or just in range. Sounds easy, but is hard, very hard work for you. Please, Mr Gantar, try it. ^^

Last Ninja 2 - Basement Loader (SID Overdrive mix) - arranged by LPChip

Review by Grigul, 02/11/2017

Yeaaahh… finally another LPChip tune. A nice interpretation of Last Ninja 2. I personally like the Sid overdrive mixes by LP Chip, but - exactly that is the reason why I can't give a red button. This tune reminds me strongly to other Sid overdrive mixes, so it is not a surprise, it's not something fresh or new. I hope, LPChip, you understand, what I mean. So finally: A very good track, I like it. Thanks for charing, LPChip. ^^

Hearing haunting Halloween-Sounds with some scary screaming the tune creates a monster-mashing mood. Interrupted by a breathless break which brings a delightful dark doomsday-feeling the tune only misses some cute crazy cats with multiple meows or ordinary owls using u-uuuus. Happy Halloween!! 😉
