Acid Burgher - arranged by Isacco Garcia Peveri

Review by Laci1971, 03/02/2016

I always try to think positive. Now the best I can write that the remix reached the quality of the original, but it wasn't too difficult.

Parallax Title (Little Jester remake) - arranged by Little Jester

Review by Zefrem23, 19/01/2016

To think one of the guys who made 'Reincarnation' (one of my favourite psychedelic dub tunes of all time) has done a version of my favourite C64 theme tune! It's truly a dream come true, you made my day man!

It has the occasional lyric reference, and mid-tune solo which hails back to the original, but the rest sounds a bit thrown together

Wet reverb at times, but transforms what is really a soundbite/jingle into a song with enough ideas to make it last. An achievement on its own. 😊

Condom Corruption (daXX minimalistic Remix) - arranged by daXX offline

Review by Gwood1234, 23/12/2015

I've been trying to crack this remix for years. Each time I start off fairly well but am never happy with it. This is got to be one of the hardest Amiga tracks to remix - there's such a lot going on and the amount of detail in the original made it one of the finest demo tracks created. When I heard daXX's remix of 9 Fingers, also by Spaceballs, I knew this was the guy to do it! This remix features many of the original instruments but combined with daXX's polished dance music production. It might not be as good as 9 Fingers but it's an incredible version of a monster track!

Will You remember (Gone) - arranged by MRT

Review by LaLa, 30/11/2015

What a wonderful, clean arrangement: not a single note that's wasted, not a single note that's useless.

But what really makes this remix is the lyrics: it's a mix of touching eulogy and techno-romance that may not seem so out of place today in the age of smartphones and smart TVs - but this began 30 years ago when it was not fashionable and commonplace to be glued to computer screens.

One cannot be NOT moved by the lyrics, and, of course, by the synthesized voice that sings it: that unmistakable Commodore speech engine.

My only technical note is that I wish the voice was put more in front of the rest of the mix.

A remarkable piece of nostalgia. Dziekuje, Tomasz!

Will You remember (Gone) - arranged by MRT

Review by exocytosis, 25/11/2015

Will You Remember is, simply put, an amazing piece of work - the slew of string instruments in combination with the unmistakebly SID-esque synthesizer sound make for a great C64 cover all by itself. What really puts the icing on the cake and makes this song stand out is how its robot voice manages to convey feelings of despair, sorrow and sadness. With the expected technological singularity mere decades away, counting CPU cycles and juggling IRQs seem like a hazy memory of an age that briefly flashed before our eyes. With the impending society-wide introduction of super evolved computers that will forever change the world as we know it, I can see why our Commodore computers already urge us not to forget them, and plead for us to remember.

And I will. I wouldn't be the same person if my great parents hadn't bought me my VIC-20 or my C128. I will remember.

Last Ninja 2 - The Sewers loader (FreeJitsu-Mix) - arranged by wk-one

Review by LaLa, 20/11/2015

I find the intro more promising than the rest of the remix, which at 0:52 becomes just one of many LN2 remixes. There are a few cool ideas lurking in it, though. The most intriguing one is the whispering voices part after 2:12, that's very creative.

I really want to like this remix so much, but it isn't fleshed out as well as it could've been.

Out Run - Magical Sound Shower - arranged by Johan Andersson

Review by drm, 13/09/2015

Outrun was one of the great arcade racers of the 80's and although the port to the c64 wasn't quite the experience the music got us closer.
There are several Outrun remixes to listen to each vying for the congratulations and this one by Johan's is decent - even matching Peter W's award winning effort in terms of production. The guitar rhythm playing is tight and are accompanied by a nice palette of sounds that blend well together.
However there is one flaw in this could be gem of a remix - it's far too slow. It's rather like listening to a 45rpm on 33rpm which kills that warm fuzzy adrenaline fueled nostalgia of the original. Maybe remixers spend so much time and effort making the track it begins to sound right and who can blame them after all, it is up to the remixer to dictate the tempo of their productions. Yet in this case it is from a racing game and in my opinion it needs that extra 20-30 bpm added on.
In summary it's a great track and I'd urge you to download it if you are a fan of Outrun. I'd also advise that if you have a pitch shift or timestretch app then use it on the track and it really shifts from lo to hi gear…

Wow just wow. A very powerful take on powerdrift with a surprising twist in the middle, quoting two other famous SID tunes, allowing to take a breath before the energetic main arrangement resumes. Just fantastic.

Electric Jesus - arranged by SIDrip Alliance offline

Review by LMan, 11/09/2015

The remix does the original justice, except the high pitched filtered synth which is the backbone of the SID, while here it is replaced with a thin saw sound. However the bridge at 2:02 is spot on and together with the finale makes up for it. Overall a very cool remix, almost outstanding!

When a song keeps playing over and over on my system, and I don't know I have listened to the same thing for 2 hours and that I continually to get goose bumps at the same place each time is the sign of a song that has been put together really REALLY well!
