Nemesis the Warlock - arranged by Xenobioz

Review by LaLa, 23/08/2016

Several problems here: the arrangement tries to be orchestral, but the individual instruments are not played the way a real orchestra would (the strings are especially cringe-worthy). The arrangement is rather thin to begin with and relies too much on timpani to drive it. The female vocal is a nice touch, although it, too, sounds bad when it's pitched too low or too high. There is also little dynamics in the arrangement which makes the entire tune sound flat.

Bruce Lee (Psycho Mix) - arranged by Bart Klepka

Review by Gannett, 21/08/2016

This is a really nice remix with a lot of dynamic energy hat fits the hero of the title: Bruce Lee! Nice drum'n'bass feel but with good melody and bass and a clever rhythm use of in game sounds from the C64 classic. Well done.

Arkanoid (Blocks On Blocks Remix) - arranged by Ras Bolding

Review by Gannett, 21/08/2016

Lovely remix of the in game Arkanoid tune that contains the melodies we all remember from the original but also some elegant reworking such as a solo played on vocoder that somewhat sounds like in between Kraftwerk and Herbie Hancock. The sounds are really good and show a good balance between 80s and modern electro clash. Plus I have seen Ras Bolding perform this in concert LIVE on a C64!

Flimbos Quest (Chillout mix) - arranged by Doctorrus Petrixuss

Review by Waz, 18/07/2016

It does what it says on the tin. However it may seem a little too on the simple and chilled side for some. Not sure if the handclaps in the second part add anything, but some may like them.

Ocean Loader 4 (Renoise Remix) - arranged by Micadokun

Review by Sarxos, 27/06/2016

One of my favorite remixes for sure. I personally liked the slightly intentional muffling of the output. One of the more frequent tracks I listen to.

Supremacy - arranged by MRT

Review by Grigul, 18/05/2016

Well, I have my problems with that tune. MRT, please, don't be angry while reading this, but this tune is not your best one. It's a nice one, but not more. It is nothing which can kick my from my chair, it is nothing which make me dance. Nice to listen to - but that's it. The most problem I have with this tune are not the violins as like as Boz, Mordi and Chris Abbott have written. My personal problem with that tune are: The drums. Your version of Supremacy, MRT, is a chilling one, compared to the other already existing versions of other arrangers. For just the melody and what you made of it, it's a good tune. But the drums you use make the whole song restless. For a calm melody you should - in my opinion - use a calm drum. You used a restless drum (or drumkit, whatever…). I hear more of the drums than the melody. That ruins the song. I'm sorry, but this is not my taste. So I can give only a yellow smile - but, to be honest, not more. Maybe your next tune will be better for me 😊 Please remember, MRT: this ist just mine opinion. Other will maybe agree, others will maybe disagree - we will see…

Supremacy - arranged by MRT

Review by Mordi, 18/05/2016

Cool! Tiptoes around the theme for a while, and when the lead enters at around 1:00 it goes into goosebump territory. I agree on the violin - it doesn't work well IMO. And there is a bit much subbass to my taste, but these things don't matter too much as the song itself is great.

Supremacy - arranged by MRT

Review by Chris Abbott, 18/05/2016

I agree with Boz, because it mixes lots of my favourite things… but I'm a lot less inclined to be harsh on the violins because this reminds me of a Test-card piece from the mid-80s which did the same thing. It would be churlish of me to deny this a red smiley.

Supremacy - arranged by MRT

Review by Boz, 17/05/2016

Great tune by Jeroen Tel and MRT has done his thing again. This would have been a TOP MARK from me, except Fake Violins Are Fake. Either get a better library or use a synth-violin, so we know they're meant to be fake, and not fall into the grey-area where we ask is that supposed to be a real string? .

Giana Sisters - Live PO28 (Youtube Vid) - arranged by LukHash

Review by noisefloor Bjoern, 18/04/2016

Another awesome track from LukHash. After listening on YouTube to your supermacy track, i would call me a fan 😉 Technically great done, much nostalgic in it and enough LukHash Sound to recognize it! Love it, great! Just one little complainment: I don't like the overcompressing of the track. I know, sidechaining and big compression is in but… it killed the the wide sound.

Tristesse - arranged by MRT

Review by P.G.G., 23/03/2016

I do listen oftenly musicians on this website and so far MRT(Tomasz Inglot) is one of the top notch arrangers. I can not stop listening his works every time I am free to listen. This newest Thomas Morgensen's 2016 remix is an extraordinary tune. Lovely.

Tetris part 1 - arranged by Kraku

Review by Grigul, 08/02/2016

Well, you all maybe have a tune or more where you hear only the first 5 seconds or so and you instantly know what game that is, where you played it in your past, where you've been at that time and so on. This one masterpiece is one of those. It's just requested on a live show on Slay Radio, while I'm writing another review here. I hadn't noticed that the DJ announced thist tune, but after the first seconds it shot through my mind - Tetris… before I looked, if it's really Tetris. Kraku, well done. Great Job.

It's experimental, it's hard electronics & it kind of reminds me of those little tune links that depeche mode do so well. The original sid is designed to be played on the MOS 8580.
