Amazing Fireworks - arranged by gibs

Review by nous, 13/12/2019

I still remember the day I first heard this tune. I let it play over and over and over, and I regretted I had just a mono-1084 instead of a 1081 or 1084-S.

Turrican 2 - The Great Bath - Orchestral - arranged by Greg Eaton

Review by kjetiln, 04/12/2019

Excellent arrangement! Love it! Execution wise it could be a little better, as it sounds a little dry. We can also hear it is not played by a real orchestra, although it is obvious that it is pretending to be. Plus for great arrangement, and minus for not sounding as great as it could be. I can only hope and believe that the arranger will improve and I can't wait to hear what will come from him in the future!

The Settlers - Main Theme - arranged by Space Infaders

Review by kjetiln, 01/12/2019

Really good attempt at doing an authentic remix, which when coming to the Settlers soundtrack, is a really ambitious task! Overall this doesn't come out as a huge improvement compared to the original. Some instruments sounds too simple and sharp, and it could just as well have been the game's soundtrack, which is not bad, but a remix should add something. Some parts are very nice and improve upon the original.

Turrican II - Desert Rocks (ft. Chris Hülsbeck, from Back in Time Live 2018) - arranged by FastLoaders

Review by Ryrynz, 09/10/2019

I like this, but the guitar work isn't as good as your other track, you miss a few parts and skip some notes but still sounds fine, nice and meaty. Again that synth doesn't work well that well. 1:21 - 3:00 is the best part. I'd really like to hear a more aggressive version of this.

Turrican II - Traps (ft. Chris Hülsbeck, from Back in Time Live 2018) - arranged by FastLoaders

Review by Ryrynz, 09/10/2019

That guitar work was incredible! The drums were great too, would've preferred a bit more emphasis on the synth in places and the synth sounds, a little less than ideal for this track but overall it's pretty great.

Lizardking's Theme (Armandox Rework) - arranged by Armandox

Review by hyperunknown/Noice, 10/09/2019

See, this is most likely the best of all remixes on the entire site. The buildups, the accords, selection of samples, preservation of the Doskpop-style. I mean come on, the choords and the lead, i get shivers down my spine. IRL. For real. Thanks for this one mate. Why the hell do I even bother having Spotify: p

SuperFrog - World 4 - arranged by groovebox

Review by onlineamiga, 17/01/2019

Music is always subjective as we all like different stuff. But listening to this was like a rollercoaster of oooh!! i like and ooooh maybe not. I love the electro backing music, and the drops etc. Sounds great. But maybe using a harder synth sound instead of the original flute sound for the main tune might have given it more power. I also think the tempo is a little too fast for this tune.

But hey these are just how I hear it. No reflection on ability and I absolutely love the fact that people like yourself are making awesome remixes of great Amiga tracks 😊 Please keep making more stuff! I wanna hear more!

Test Drive II Remix - arranged by CZ Tunes

Review 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!

Shadow of the Beast (Guitar Edit) - arranged by SoundLogic

Review 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.😉

Pinball Dreams (Beatbox Remix) - arranged by Aknotronic

Review 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!
