Pinball Dreams (Beatbox Remix) - arranged by AknotronicReview by MoonshineFox, 30/07/2018 Following on the intro, I was hesitant to really call it great and was about to give it a lower score than I ultimately did.The solid 80's tracker-style drums really meshed perfectly with the synths and sounds chosen for the pad, the lead and everything, leading to a piece that is greater than a sum of its parts. I definitely enjoyed it, and it manages to capture the essence and dream-factor of the original. It could be more engaging and technically complex, but overall I think it was very good work! |

Chuck Rock Theme (REVISITED) - arranged by Lolo from GPReview by MoonshineFox, 30/07/2018 It's a good remix insomuch as it's professionally put together. I don't find it overly engaging personally however. It's lacking something to make me really jump on it.I can't tell if it's in the mixing or the arrangement or if it's simply not to my taste, but it feels somewhat bland. (It might also be my lack of nostalgia for the game, as I really never got into the Chuck Rock series). Overall technically good, mixing is a bit muddy and song is very well arranged. |

Last ninja 3 - Earth (2018 mix) - arranged by CronoReview 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 SoundLogicReview 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 SoundLogicReview 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. |

Another World Ending - arranged by SzudiReview by neglesaks, 14/07/2018 A fair shot at a remix, but just as the tune gets real interesting about the 1m mark, it loses its tone in the latter half where it turns into a jumble of style impressiouns that come and go without adding much to the overall flow. The latter half is in my opinion overshadowed by the beat. This is not a bad composition, however it shows how specific minor variations in the choice of f. x. the level of an instrument can have a major effect on the outcome. |

Another World (End Theme Remix) - arranged by ManoReview by neglesaks, 14/07/2018 Artistically, this must be one among the best that the Remix community has on offer. It's faithful to the original and shows a creative flair in transforming and adding to it in a way that just hits the spot. Where the original tune was relatively fast-paced, Mano pulls its tempo down significantly and in adding new instruments quite different from the game's original two, manages to produce a varied and rich remix with the insert passages going together well with the main tune with only minor spots that stand out. Well done Mano. (edit: 17/7-2018) |

Rambo Loader - arranged by SHEN LONReview 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 CytexReview 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 MusicWizardReview 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. |
|
Cybernoid II (Lime on 45 Remix) - arranged by TronReview by xgener8or, 11/07/2018 70's Disco Space feeling here. Haha. Surprising style and works perfectly. Really well done. Who would have imagined. |

Last Ninja Theme (Filter Cheese Edit) - arranged by SeaweedReview by xgener8or, 11/07/2018 Same midi as the other yes, AND it was made by me by hand in 1999. Now it is all mangled up. |
|
Last Ninja The Wilderness (Symphophonic) - arranged by SeaweedReview by xgener8or, 11/07/2018 Sounds like you murdered my midi from 1999 here. I recognize it even under all these messy samples. |
|
Last Ninja Theme (Grand Orchestra) - arranged by SeaweedReview by xgener8or, 11/07/2018 Not pointing fingers here but I think I recognize this midi as the one I made and put out online in 1999. Could be coincidence of course, but I recognize a lot of little details that I did. A bit messy choice of sounds on this also. |

Ace II - arranged by Philip BakReview by LaLa, 04/07/2018 I am somewhat conflicted by this remix.On one hand it has a high level of craftsmanship, showcasing many things (instrumentation, effects, breaks, etc.) modern professional productions tend to have. On the other hand, it feels to me like an ambitious project that falls short of delivering all the goods, especially when it comes to the arrangement. For example: awesome intro, it really got me going! But after the quick break at 0:35 it just continues on in the same style - I sort of expected an explosion of sound at that point. In fact, at 0:56 it adds some brass that sounds cheesy to me. But I kept waiting and hoping - until about 1:30 into the tune when I finally realized this just won't evolve any further. Which is a pity. What's there is unquestionably solid and enjoyable. Its style frequently reminds me of The Alan Parsons Project. But even after listening to it several times, in the back of my mind I just keep wondering: this could've been so much more… |

Battle Squadron - arranged by Ron KlarenReview by alexh, 04/07/2018 IMO This is the best remix of Battle Squadron. Like the best remixes it keeps the timing and spirit of the original samples and beat. |
