Comic Bakery (train beat mix) - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by al.x, 19/03/2015 It's a new take on Comic Bakery that we have not heard before! I would love to hear more like this! |

Auf Wiedersehen Monty - arranged by SolknightReview by FStarred, 19/03/2015 This version respect the feeling of the original, but obviously improve the quality. Some samples instead are, maybe, still too 8bit like. |

Never Die (Skitz lives forever) - arranged by SlaygonReview by Nickenstein, 13/03/2015 The way that the classical stringed instruments are blended with a deep synthetic-bass is very hollywood, and would fit in perfectly in any current big-budget movie. Having now just listened to the original SID, I'm quite stunned at how expertly you have turned it into a very modern piece without loosing the essence of the source. Also, the dedication you made to Skitz in the title made me remember my time with him as I listened. There are tears on my desk. |

Rambo First Blood Part II (title theme) - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by Nickenstein, 13/03/2015 As stated in my 'shout', this was the second piece of music I ever heard from my own C64 (As Rambo-FB-Prt-2 was the first cassette I loaded on that Christmas day so very very long ago. So I clearly have a huge nostalgia-hard-on for this particular tune, but putting my bias on hold, here is my review: SUPERB! Excellent guitar and piano sections. But the great instrumental work is so nice, that the vocal samples cheapen/taint the piece. I would love a new upload sans-vocals. 😃 |

Last Ninja 2 Sewers (feat. NecroPolo & Westerling) - arranged by SlaygonReview by puffy64, 11/03/2015 MASTERPIECE! Needs a new voting system to express the high production, creativity and playing skills of the artists that are involved. Intense mood of the sewers level was captured here perfectly. This remix was made with love to the tune, well chosen instrumentation and sets a mark for Matt Gray to beat in his upcoming LN2 project. For me, there could have been a heavier part at the end with a bit more rocking drums, but that's just my opinion. Slaygon and his team (special cheers to the guitarists involved) made a great, wonderful remix and I suggest everyone to immediately download and rate this to show them, that this one isIMPRESSIVE(as spoken in Quake 3 Arena). Thanks a lot for this brillant piece of music. |

Citadel (feat. NecroPolo) - arranged by Markus SchneiderReview by slaygon, 10/03/2015 Way under-rated track. The build-up is gorgeous. The cinematic aura of it is just perfect! Any movie would be happy to have this as its sound track! The delicately placed guitars from NecroPolo in the mix gives away the precision work Markus put into making this a mix to take seriously. And seriously, you should. The subtle choir at the 4 minute mark. The low string section at the beginning. This is as serious as a movie soundtrack would ever be. Rate it as such. (and I haven't even mentioned the low-end precision work throughout the track!) |

Last Ninja 2 Sewers (feat. NecroPolo & Westerling) - arranged by SlaygonReview by L0rd3vyL, 10/03/2015 Incredible remix of the Sewers tune from Last Ninja 2. Once of the best versions of that particular tune I've heard in a while, in fact. Awesome Job, Slaygon and company. |

Last Ninja 2 Sewers (feat. NecroPolo & Westerling) - arranged by SlaygonReview by Gohanks, 08/03/2015 Had the pleasure of hearing the WIP version which was already impressive. Few words: original, very ninja and mega climactic! |

Bombo - arranged by Johan AnderssonReview by Chris Abbott, 20/02/2015 If I was going to suggest one change, it could start quieter, and end quieter, and there's a missed opportunity to go absolutely huge-ass-power-ballad in the middle. |

Last Ninja 3 (SceneSat Edition) - arranged by moog (Sebastian Bachliñski)Review by Pietafon, 10/02/2015 Idealne odwzorowanie oryginału, Reyn Ouwahand na pewno pęka z dumy słysząc ten remix! 😊 Gratuluję! 😊 |

International Karate (Part I) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by puffy64, 20/01/2015 Can't understand, why nobody reviewed this yet?! Well, let's go:Dr Future did a very fine job here. In my opinion the sounds are great, the guitars are played with emotions and the whole thing seems to say: I love(ed) this song, Rob The song starts with decent guitar play and grows on and on, so listener shouldn't miss the very cool Solopart beginning at 4:30m. Simply great. And I know what I'm speaking of ^^. The drums are used well and the hihat is what I like most, cause it grooves the tune. And finally, I love the game samples, which were placed at the right points creating a smile on my face while listening. Thank you, Dr Future! |

Enlightenment Druid II - arranged by Puffy64Review by Nightmare23, 17/01/2015 Puffy64 is back and as usual wih some serious shit. As Zoidberg already said: Moar… Moooaaaarrrr… |

Enlightenment Druid II - arranged by Puffy64Review by LaLa, 16/01/2015 After a 12 year hiatus, Puffy64 and his guitars are BAAAACK!This is a great hard rock rendition of Druid II. My favorite part is the break (e. g. between 1:18-1:27) that is just spot on. There is a good balance in the arrangement and the mix - I just really like listening to it over and over again. Welcome back, Puffy64! |

Pool Party (FN mix) - arranged by XenoxReview by DJB, 26/11/2014 Unfortunately I can't really give this much credit points. Anyone can use SID2MIDI, but the important thing is (and is what is most noticeable) is when the arranger doesn't double-check the original SID to ensure that all the notes are correct. The program is a really good way to capture the notes, but it doesn't handle slides / glides at all, hence if a song uses them and the notes ain't corrected, it can ruin your cover. |

Enlightenment - Druid II - arranged by Markus SchneiderReview by speedy, 13/11/2014 Ok, this is a first class orchestral hollywood stuff like Hans Zimmer and Co are doing. If you like orchestral stuff, you will love this remix! Every part flows well into each other. needless to say you want more with every single second. It reminds me to the Pirates Soundtrack which is orchestral rock. Give us more! |

Maniac Mansion (Clubmix) - arranged by PutziReview by Cubud, 07/10/2014 This remix is so good! I love the rough bass instrument, I love the insertion of real sound-effects from Super Mario Land on the GameBoy. Very enjoyable! |

Ultima V - Greyson's tale - arranged by PirxReview by mixer, 30/09/2014 This is an orchestral version of the Ultima V track by Kenneth Arnold. I've always enjoyed Ultima soundtracks, many of the tunes are hammered into my brain after so many hours with the game.That being said, this remix is not up to the standards I'd like to hear. Firstly, it sounds like it is a direct midi convert of the original. Such remix can be done in minutes, there is no effort put on it. There is no new creative arrangement and the instruments sound very sampleish and artificial. This can be forgiven as access to decent orchestral instrument sets or real orchestra is often not possible for hobbyists. Some dynamics and making it to appear like it is played for real would make a huge difference. So, as a plain convert I vote this to be average. It is not bad, as the arranger has not done anything to ruin the original composition, but has not improved on it either. Easy listening only. |

Aztec Challenge Evolution - arranged by Lello CaliendoReview by Joshua1972, 29/09/2014 i adore this website, it's possible to feel always fashionable news. Special today surprise is a rocked aztec, i love it so much! |

Aztec Challenge Evolution - arranged by Lello CaliendoReview by Karamija, 27/09/2014 Aztec atmosphere blend perfectly with this type of arrangement. The guitars are beutiful and solo is scary!!beautiful also the sounds used, clean and incisive. |
|
Aztec Challenge Evolution - arranged by Lello CaliendoReview by Arabelle74, 26/09/2014 well-balanced sound, excellent creativity and fantastic guitars. Chorus is very charming, and the rock section with metal guitars is exciting. |

Synth Sample 1 - arranged by PirxReview by Wacky Amoebatron, 25/08/2014 This Track seems to be a 1:1 MIDI-Rip of Jogeir Liljedahl's Version of the Stationary Ark Soundtrack. Too similar, too recognizable, too much the same instrumentation. Too cheap to be true. Sorry, laddy! |
|
R-Type - arranged by MutenessReview by Rohyp Nose, 31/07/2014 Great production, funky sounding! Nice homage in clubbish wrapping! I hate to dance, but my fingers kept tapping the table franticly |

Last Ninja 3 (Horizon mix) - arranged by MythologyReview by LaLa, 12/06/2014 First off, I don't know what this tune has to do with TMR, it's clearly a Last Ninja 3 subtune #10 remix. TMR's SID remix of it is not even the same subtune (that's #6)… Anyhoo…Love the guitar work, really deep, great riffs, well mixed. The drum pattern is too simple, though, that needs work. I like the lightbreak in the middle, but overall I have mixed feelings about the arrangement, it sounds a bit confusing. All in all, pretty good job, hope there's more to come! |
|
Last V8 (short version) - arranged by FTCReview by Xenix, 05/05/2014 Nice tune, good nostalgical value. But please fix the bass loop (did you use one long sample for that?) as it's just out of sync with the beats. |
|
Moon Patrol - arranged by dor-xReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 Yeah.. it's just a blues in fact. Well done, although it keeps being a bit slow-motion. I hoped you included the sound effect that the car made when eh.. a new level was reached (the whoop sound ). |
|
Project 11 (An Angels Love) - arranged by HazelReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 How the hell did you invent this 5/4th funky beat! Well invented. Took me a while to notice it even. |
|
Battle Valley (Dream Team) - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 Excellent choice on intro! Just wonder if you got the first notes of the Battle Valley tune starting correctly? It should start off-beat in my memory. |
|
Last Ninja 2 - The mansion - arranged by Alias MedronReview by Xenix, 11/04/2014 Nice but predictable. please check on the beat loop, you're just a few bytes off which gives a clipping |

Stormlord (String Orchestra Cover) - arranged by John NovakReview by LaLa, 25/03/2014 This is a very admirable effort, I quite like its emotional bend, and how this piece intentionally lives within its self-imposed limits.What I miss is more dynamicity: I don't feel much difference between the sections that were probably intended to be forte and the softer sections. For example, towards the end at around 4:32 I think it should get louder, more forceful in a crescendo fashion to finish it off with a bang. Also, this sounds more like a chamber string quartet than a larger string orchestra to me, but now I am really nitpicking. Great piece of music, thanks for sharing! |
