Great remix of one of my favourite video-game music.
Guitars are great.
The singed part is not my favourite part but it's ok.

This sound is exactly what I needed. It conjures my Commodore experience without being so modern as to mix the worlds too much.

Flight Path 737 (Riz Mix) - arranged by Monty

Review by Benightedjim, 23/05/2015

You could imagine this as the theme tune to a 1970s drama series about a suave pilot flying his 737 around Europe. Tales of adventure, high drama, clandestine affairs, dangerous liaisons and the like. Oh, and bad aviator sunglasses, too.

DeltaSisters (feat. Kermit) - arranged by Puffy64

Review by FStarred, 20/04/2015

It's a pity that the registration quality could be done better, btw it's one of the best merge remix I've heard.
At 1:17 reminds me of john mellencamp's human wheels song.

Never Die (Skitz lives forever) - arranged by Slaygon

Review 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 Andersson

Review 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 Slaygon

Review 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 is IMPRESSIVE (as spoken in Quake 3 Arena). Thanks a lot for this brillant piece of music.

Citadel (feat. NecroPolo) - arranged by Markus Schneider

Review 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!)

Bombo - arranged by Johan Andersson

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.

International Karate (Part I) - arranged by Dr Future

Review 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 Puffy64

Review 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 Xenox

Review 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 Schneider

Review 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!

Ultima V - Greyson's tale - arranged by Pirx

Review 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.

Review 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!
