Firelord (from 8Bit Symphony) - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 12/01/2019 I didn't think your superb symphonic remix from 16+ years ago could be made any better. I was wrong, so wrong!The flute sounds just wonderful (makes me wonder if it was written with Ben in mind…), the choir sounds even more emotional, and the dynamic flow of the arrangement makes it sound very cinematic. I really like the parts where the melody line quickly switches between the various sections of the orchestra. Even though it sounds similar to your previous Firelord arrangement, it's clearly very different - and even better. I'm sure somewhere up above Ben is listening to this, too, with a big smile on his face… |

Liljedahl is God (Green Beret+Rambo) - arranged by MordiReview by pad, 02/01/2019 That start gives me goosebumps indeed! The rest is also fab! Perfect backdrop for coding. 😃 |

Goldrunner - From Past To Present - arranged by gibsReview by nous, 01/01/2019 Be careful, this is one of the most emblematic Hubbartunes, remixed to perfection. Can't stop listening to it. |

Lightforce - arranged by Markus SchneiderReview 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 UraniummindReview 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 TelReview 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 3 (in - out mix) - arranged by Gerd BahlReview by symbols, 19/12/2018 Funky 80's vibe - check.Wavy Synth - Check. Snare Powa! - Check. Well composed and classic Gerd Bahl throw-ins! Feels quite Demo-scene-ish too, quality! |

Last Ninja 2 Song 12 - arranged by DJ CyberdogReview 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. |

Last Ninja Wastelands (loader - memorial mix) - arranged by Gerd BahlReview by symbols, 19/12/2018 Duration: Could be longerInstruments: Soft and well balanced Technique: Room for more Originality: Great changes to the original |

Primary Star - arranged by DafunkReview by sparcie, 17/12/2018 Love this song, when life gives me crap i'm being comforted with my hobby |
|
Enchanted Lands - Intro (Enchantedness) - arranged by SilokReview by Silize, 06/12/2018 Jochen es de esos que siempre te transmiten algo especial y mítico en sus creaciones. Es pausado y progresivo, melódico y potente. No se puede pedir más bajo mi punto de vista particular. |

Druid 2 - arranged by Instant RemedyReview 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! |

Atmosphere - arranged by MRTReview by P.G.G., 02/12/2018 Jeroen Tel did a nice theme long time ago. Thomasz have been made an astonishing remix of the year. Great talent. Keep a good work in future. |

Xenon 2 - Megablast (2017 Oldschool Mix) - arranged by HurryKnReview by Ryrynz, 28/11/2018 Keeps very much in line with the original but adds so much more… Gonna be hard to top this. |
|
Xenon 2 Megablast - arranged by Eight.Bit CommandoReview by prowler, 24/11/2018 Very good work for a first time remixer! Remix style is very time-accurate with the 90's wibe, and yet with great quality and mixing. Love it! |

Zoom (NecroPolo C64 Hypercharger remix) - arranged by NecroPoloReview 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!!! |

Last Ninja Wilderness loader - arranged by SHEN LONReview by Kikstart, 13/10/2018 Having listened to Last Ninja and played the game hundreds of times, this loader for me was a nice surprise. you should be commended for such a fabulous remix! |

Monty on the Run (rockmetal cover) - arranged by Vaggelis PapadopoulosReview 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! |
|
Last Ninja Wilderness (8bit Ninja mix) - arranged by UraniummindReview by eobet, 12/10/2018 The sounds and mix for this is really, really good. I just hope there would be a version without the silly quotes. |
|
Defender of the Crown - arranged by ColmarrReview by eobet, 11/10/2018 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 SoundLogicReview 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 LONReview 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. |
|
Test Drive II Remix - arranged by CZ TunesReview by Sada, 09/10/2018 It's a good remix of a very simple melody and music which was awesome because of the bass line, the digitized speech and motor noise synchronized with the graphics of the game intro. I like how you maintain the last note of the main theme. Good job! |
|
Aztec Challenge Tribe - Sacrifice is ready - arranged by Frank F. & HimselfReview by Sebstar, 28/09/2018 Acapellla style the beginning is really nice, i like the voice! nicely done! Don't quite get the negative reviews and ratings! |
|
Comic Frame - arranged by HazelReview by Sebstar, 27/09/2018 I like the beat it really pushes me forward! Logged in just to vote it up! Superb music dude! |
|
Shadow of the Beast - Eerie Forests - arranged by Ruben MonteiroReview by MeduZa, 23/09/2018 It keeps the original feeling but with a lot more environment!The sound bring memories back from the old days |
|
Flimbo's Quest Story Remix - arranged by UctumiReview by mikey, 27/08/2018 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 LucasReview 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. |

Shadow of the Beast (Guitar Edit) - arranged by SoundLogicReview by MoonshineFox, 30/07/2018 I've never been a fan of remixes or remasters where you can clearly hear the original tune playing in the background as a sound carpet and then adding modern sounds on top of it.Whether this track does that or not is actually hard to say, but for the first 30 seconds or so it absolutely sounds like the original track just overlayed with some synths and then the guitar coming in. The guitar playing itself is accurate and follows the melody competently, but it lacks something engaging. It's clear that it's trying occasionally to make something outside of a middling recording, and those moments are absolutely great! It just feels like there could be more to really carry this beyond ok into great. Adding in the back synths at about 2 minutes helps in lifting it and here the guitars portamento becomes more clear and helps lift the track, but again the mixing makes it muddy and takes the edge of the sounds, further pushing it towards flat and bland. I think it's a great attempt and I still do enjoy it, but it could be so much better and lively. This is just my personal opinion however. Don't be discouraged! And don't pass up listening just because some old grump has some complaints.😉 |
