Green Beret (Chillout ReMix) - arranged by PowerTraceReview by LaLa, 14/02/2013 I have just rediscovered this remix (2016 Feb), and man, it totally captivates me! It's been playing on a loop inside my head for days now. The production is topnotch, and it is deeply emotional on many levels. And Zilog is right: there's something Jarre-ish about this remix: that dreamy piano is definitelyMetamorphosis. |

Outrun Europe Levels Extended Euromix - arranged by PhekkisReview by LaLa, 03/02/2013 I really dig the space disco style of this remix. This is also definitely better mixed than the 1st version you submitted to RKO.My most favorite part of this remix is 3:07-3:21 (which also gets repeated a few times later), that chord progressions is spot on. Maybe the drums could be stronger, I think the snares are especially weak. I like the arrangement overall, it doesn't get boring at all despite its length. The more I listen to this, the more I like it! |

A Trace of Space - arranged by MordiReview by drm, 01/02/2013 Why do I like this track?Well it ticks all the right boxes for me in what an electronic piece of music should sound like. First off there is the lead - it has not been programmed to sound flat and lifeless - it's got a lot of expression in there. The little frills also add character to the lead. The chords in this track are interesting too and make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! This remix also has a nod to it's roots by having the 8 bit sounding staccato arp sound running throughout the remix and I like the way it's developed in the fade out - something most remixers would probably have overlooked by just letting it run and fade. I also think this is an outstanding track in that it manages to marry the sound of Jarre and Vangelis in just 3m:22sec. In fact when I first heard the beta release of this I thought Mordi had found an unreleased bootleg Vangelis track! Well done Mordi I hope one day I can do a remix as good as this one. This is staying on my MP3 player and best of all it was free!! |

Lightforce 2004 - arranged by Darren LambourneReview by Ryrynz, 09/01/2013 This works so well, it's an amazing tune and all the instruments work perfectly together. I wish it had a bit more clarity and a higher bitrate but I can't complain. One of my favorite remixes, totally hoping for a V2. |

Dune intro remix - arranged by AmiGamerReview by Kyusawamura, 23/12/2012 I never played the Amiga but I remember the PC music quite well and the percussion brought me back to the burning sands of Arrakis. ♥ Also, unlike jason_starck I love the Arabian arrangements.There's something I'm not really okay with though, and it's the many times you repeat each section. It gets to be a little repetitive. |

Turrican II (Concerto For Laser And Enemies Enhanced Mix) - arranged by Peter WReview by Ryrynz, 22/12/2012 I love how upbeat this is, such great instrument choices overall really making this tune sound modern. I know Hülsbeck himself has remixed this a few times but I actually prefer this over any his own remixes so that's saying something. It's more a beautiful enhancement of the original more than a remix and for that reason it's my favourite Concerto on this site. A few improvements could be made however, the drums at 0. 10 being a tad too light and the back beat a tad too heavy this would bring it a little more in line with the original if keeping with enhancing it rather than remixing, the original feels less bogged down but otherwise I love it. |

Master of the Lamps (Intro) - arranged by SeaweedReview by Kyusawamura, 19/12/2012 I agree with LaLa and NecroPolo on quite a handful of notes being out of place, but as a person who appreciates contemporary music and strange harmonies, that's precisely what I find charming about this. I hope those strange notes were intentional, because they produce quite the tension, and that's something to put to good use. If they were a mistake… I have some bad news for you… |

Boot Up (Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 Theme) - arranged by AfterWireReview by DigitalFX, 17/12/2012 I am a sucker for guitar solos. This one has a great clear lead guitar sound. I loved the original song/game, but this remix fits my likes perfectly. For me, it is the ideal remix. Enough 'poetic license' is taken without removing the nostalgic link. |

Captured - arranged by MontyReview by WilliamZ, 03/12/2012 Long time Capture player, so I've listened a lot to this music in original form. Monty, you have taken a classic composition and made it into something really special. It has a BIG and unusual sound, keeping the original intentions by the composer. The tune in one of top 5 on Remix. Keep up this awesome work. I hope to listen to morerestoredGreve Graphics classics in the future. |

Gianas Sister Is Born - arranged by VergeReview by Kyusawamura, 25/11/2012 I felt something jump in me when I heard Giana Sisters' main melody play~ The leads were a bit behind the padding and all, but it still kept me all cool and wide awake.I'd say listen to all criticism and use the negative votes to your advantage :3 IMO you did it great but you can always get better ;D |

Dope - arranged by AlReview by Kyusawamura, 25/11/2012 I'm going to be honest with you and say that I didn't really like the fact that you used some of FL Studio's default instruments (BooBass and some of the drums including the crash cymbal from the Legacy samples) but the rest of all is impeccable. The earlier two are the only details I would point at, the rest, I'm speechless.Great job! ♥ |

Void (unlooped) - arranged by VipReview by Kyusawamura, 25/11/2012 I liked it very much from the beginning. It reminded me of quite the collection of MOD/XM/S3M/IT songs I had started a few years ago, they were all from the 90's and preferably around '95.What I did notice was that the main instruments lacked some stereo image, and then the clicks, along with what omoroca said about the excessive reverb. Even so, the lack of stereo image was also one thing to remind me of these particularly heart-warming and nostalgic Modules I had first mentioned. Unlike hbasm, I would have loved a long loop of this one. Keep it up~! ♥ |

Turrican 2 - I FART IN TURRICANS GENERAL DIRECTION - arranged by ScareCrowReview by Ryrynz, 11/11/2012 I think this is one of those remixes you're either going to love/like or hate, personally upon listening to it for a bit I couldn't help but grin, the first few seconds give you a good idea of what's to come.This remix is an audacious cacophony of sound effects as such it's not your typical remix. All caution is thrown to the wind in this all out fart fest which I feel from 0. 50 really starts to shine, LOL. |

Odyssey Part 5 New Trance Mix - arranged by Isacco Garcia PeveriReview by zzr, 12/10/2012 Since i'm a big fan of the Odyssey soundtrack, i decided to do my first review on this song. So lets get started.First off, i find it pretty hard to remix this songs, theyre dense stuff, unlike a lot of much more simple old amiga tunes. props to this remixer for doing this track, and doing it well! in detail: Technical impression: the only flaw i see is the mixing. sometimes its a bit more muddy than it could be, not clearly seperating all the instruments from each other. Leading me to a yellow smiley and the urge to look out for future remixes of this artist wich will surely become more experienced with this. Artistic impression: The song is surely well made with a lot of different instruments and fx, wich just suit it very well. From that i see the artist is someone who does music already for a longer time and knows how to place his stuff to make and/or keep the song interesting. Variation keeps coming, while still being on the run, in a solid trancy way. Red smiley for all the nice stuff in this song and the pretty flawless arrangement of all that. Nostalgia: Since its a Trance remix, it loses out a bit of the originals relaxing arrangement. Makes up for this with having a solid beatline wich pushes you forward through the track. Orange for that, and for being still very remarkable in comparison to the original Song. Overall, i actually prefer this version of the odyssey5 from the one made by daXX. thats pretty much why i decided to put my very first review on this track. Get it, and enjoy it regards. |

CyberPunks - Level 1 - arranged by InfamousReview by FuzzyDweeb, 08/10/2012 Great effort and love the trance style remix - well done!Nice slow build and layering take me nicely back to the original Amiga version. Adrian Cummings |

Prehistorik - Honky Tonk Dumb Drum - arranged by ScareCrowReview by Isacco1975, 04/10/2012 Too many bass frequencies. This ruins the entire mixdown! Really a pity, track anyway is not bad. |

Amberstar - Mysty Orc Fanfares - arranged by ZzrReview by dayta, 04/10/2012 Here we goZzr used Buzz as far as i know and im glad people do that. the music is build from scratch and sounds nostalgic. no harmony errors were done and the mastering (or lets call it leveling the channels) is nice and smooth. it could be a little faster for my taste but not everything can be at 2million bpm i actualy enjoy this tune more then the orginal for the moment good work as allways |

Stormlord (Cinematic RMX) - arranged by Nicklas SchmidtReview by LaLa, 14/09/2012 This remix doesn't really tell a story, and thus, it doesn't feelepic. I think the root of the problem is that it's lacking in the arrangement department - it feels like a bunch of (otherwise excellent) symphonic samples were stitched together without much thought. There's no cohesion and it's short on emotions - it just doesn't seem to have its act together. To me the highlight of this remix is the quieter part of 1:32-1:47. There are plenty of emotions in those 15 seconds. The part between 2:34 and 3:05 also shows promise, although I think the buildup is architected somewhat haphazardly and thus, it also feels incomplete. Much like the entire remix which ends abruptly not long after that. Symphonic arrangements are a tough cookie, this remix makes an admirable attempt at it, but ultimately, it falls short. The samples are great, the mix is pretty good, the instruments are well-chosen - but it needs a better arrangement. |

Krakout - arranged by SIDrip AllianceReview by LaLa, 23/07/2012 Here's what I really like about this remix: its pace. It's madly fast - just like the original!Here's the second thing I really like about this remix: it's live (mostly). In fact, it's -a-live: you can taste that it's people playing great music for people who are willing to listen. Here's what I don't like about this remix: the mix sounds a bit overcompressed to me. Maybe because the chords played by the synth seemingly disappear behind a metal cage. But in general I feel its flavor is suppressed a bit too much. And again, here's what I really like about this remix: its fast pace! It's just mad, crazy - it's wonderful! |

Soulless - arranged by K8-bitReview by nettuno, 22/07/2012 Excellent my friend: you know one thing or two about music composing that someone other must learn quickly. The melody is complex, rich, various and delightful. Good the instruments choice, good the quantization and all of the rest: I was enchanted from the start, to the end of the music piece. Well, now I will look for yours others pieces, hoping they be of same quality. Thank you very much. |

Krakout - arranged by SIDrip AllianceReview by nettuno, 22/07/2012 Where can I start? Surely this song give some emotions. Hate, anger, nuisance, of course negative emotions, but intense.There's no particular technic: some notes entered into a sequencer, and few ideas (but confused) about the result. Okay, this song don't like me absolutely, maybe this is clear, but don't like me ABSOLUTELY… this is a great result, negative, but great 😉 |

Parallax - arranged by InfamousReview by LaLa, 09/07/2012 Hmm, I am not as floored by this remix as others seem to be.The intro is pretty cool sticking to the spirit of the original, but I feel the rest seems to be too afraid to cross over from the simple side. From around 5:30 it takes on a definite kraftwerkish quality: pumping base, electronic drums, all the goodies. Unfortunately, it doesn't last too long. Another satisfying part develops after 8:30-ish which demonstrates loads of creativity. All in all, a technically superb remix with a few remarkable portions, but I wish those remarkable portions filled out the rest of it, too. |

Skate or Die Intro Remix - arranged by PhekkisReview by LaLa, 30/06/2012 When I first heard it, I was sure I've heard this remix before somewhere, but after checking all the other remixes - no I haven't. I guess, all Skate or Die remixes are similar because there are not many ways this tune can be remixed?This is slightly better than most other remixes, it has a decent instrument selection, but it's neither inspiring, nor powerful despite the presence of electric guitars. A nice effort, but it needs more oomph. |

Sweet - arranged by Marcel DonnéReview by Ryrynz, 01/06/2012 You can't beat Lala's review it covers just about everything. I feel this remix does the original tune more justice than Mordi's version which by all means is great but this needs to sit higher where it is on the charts in comparison so here's myreviewThis blends amazingly well.. I wish it had the clarity of Mordi's version but oh well, love it anyway. |

Flimbo's Quest Laserdance remake - arranged by MaverickReview by LaLa, 15/05/2012 My eyes lit up when I saw that this remix was supposed to be in Laserdance style. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to my initial enthusiasm.The first problem is right off the start: there is no intro per se, and the various pulsating pieces just do not seem to fit together. Then the drums come in, but they are too soft both in character and in volume - they're barely audible. Most of Laserdance's biggest hits use well-pronounced disco-style drum kits. The chorded pads are also too washed out in the mix. Finally, the outro - there's none. The remix ends as abruptly as it has begun, which is disappointing. All in all, it's a good basic idea for a remix that needs a lot more work. |

Thundercats (WIthout Fear Remix) - arranged by Funk ReflexReview by wearecity, 07/05/2012 Absolutely superb, no one else comes even close with the section from 2:50 to 3:35. It just demands to be played so loud your speakers are on the verge of exploding.100% brilliant. |

Tusker (Into the Heart of Darkness Radio Edit) - arranged by K8-bitReview by Trydowave, 30/04/2012 K8-bit… you're the best. Listened to you on Slayradio the other day on Annas Annorak. Great tune. Very atmposheric.More! |
