Rastan - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by LaLa, 03/10/2004 Very good Gladiator-esque movie soundtrack-style remix, great production, Hans Zimmer would be proud of it for sure - but it uses a bit too many musical cliches for my taste, thus my lower score for "artistic impression". Other than that, it's a pleasure to listen to, it's definitely a work of love! |

Rastan - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by infamous, 01/10/2004 glyn.dissapears for over a year after gracing us with gordian tombs and firelord to do other things.. like have a family. comes back and then bitch slaps us all with this.. just to remind everyone just who the boss really is.. and what a reminder. Beautiful flute begins the remix.. slowly fading about with harps and strings to build a real celtic feel.. then it really gets all irish on us with the clannad esque vocal work.. very inspired and it may have come out of a box but it still sounds very believable.. she fades away and.. WOMPTH!! .. its like that scene in gladiator where he is being carted into rome to face the gladiator ring in the mighty colloseum.. its every epic anchient sword and honour film you've ever seen mixed with a little bit of the club beats of today to keep it all in check.. kinda like a knights tale but without that gurning ponce heath ledger to annoy you.. this is the perfect film acompanyment music.. the perfect lounge music.. maybe its even the perfect song? … no that'd be going to far. thats not been done yet.. and definetly aint been done here either but what you have got.. is definetely the BEST remix at rko to date.. and i challenge anyone to a horseback duel that contests it. truly a class remix and true evidence that glyn is a talent going to waste as he languishes away in his neat house.. he needs to be signed up.. needs to be writing music for films etc.. if there is any justice in this world before he dies he will leave a legacy far greater than the one he leaves here… theres a big world out there and glyn and his talent could conquer it.. and again i dont think many would be inclined to disagree. all hail glyn. and his half finished remix's |

The Eidolon - arranged by LManReview by mahoney, 30/09/2004 Hey? Isn't this Depeche Mode? I think LMan got all the good parts from Depeche Mode's glory days, and put them in this remix. Well done, and clearly enjoyable! |

Ocean Loader 3 - Rockin' Mix - arranged by Stafford and Clayton MarslandReview by retrovertigo, 27/09/2004 I'm well impressed with this one. Only niggles are the mix could be better and the drums just don't seem to sit very well in the mix. It's balls out, total rock and extra marks have to go for putting so much energy into what would be a technically difficult arrangement to play. Especially on guitar! Short, sweet and to the point. More please! |

Alibi (steady-state remix) - arranged by Patrick [Major Minor] CeuppensReview by vernest, 13/09/2004 Thanks for doing one of the classics. Laxity has always been one of my favourites, and too few people look in the direction of the demo-scene and non-gamemusic.I think you captured the mood very well, and I enjoy this version as much as I enjoy the original. Very balanced sound, though not especially original. But then again, many of Laxity's tunes are close to perfect. So why alter them just for the sake of doing it? You've managed to make this tune sound better than it did on solo sid, without destroying the melody and feel. That's an accomplishment by itself. After listening to this for a long time now, I have to give full marks on grounds of the nostalgic impression and balanced sound. This is wonderful listening! |

Sweet (My Sun Shines On) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by Tomsk, 02/09/2004 Oh dear… what's going on here. An absolutely fantastic tune not even reaching the top 100 on RKO. WHat can I say but… This is the finest tune you've done so far. Great additional lyric and keeping the sid sound alive are big pluses. The composition is professional beyond words (for me anyway!), and as a dance track there's no doubt that the way you've combined the original sid with the smooth chords at the start would make this an instant hit! Oh, and the drums are so varied and fresh - rather than just your normal lazy and placid bass/snare/superfast hi-hat efforts that normally accompany your average hit dance record. Brilliant stuff - rapidly becoming one of my favorite remixes of all time! |

R-Type (Doppelganger Summer Remix) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by Tomsk, 02/09/2004 I've got to say I didn't like the original of this. The main reason for downloading was because of Lagerfeldt previously high quality mixes. And this must be a good mix because I started enjoying it alot more than the original. It's possibly the guitar melody that helps gives this tune a bit more purpose and interests me. Great track - and as always Lagerfeldt, so professional in the sound dept. |

Dutch Breeze/Robocop 3 (Progressive Uplift) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by Tomsk, 02/09/2004 Hugely crisp and fresh dancey version which I enjoyed enough to vote one of my favorites on Remix 64 last year. Extremely toe tapping beat, with a professional sound to boot. You can't argue with quality like this… thanks again for a great sounding mix. |

Sweet (feat. Elsa & Karin) - arranged by Markus Schneider & MahoneyReview by Tomsk, 02/09/2004 Original tune? Oops, never heard of it. I suppose that's my novice values coming into play. What I can do though, is still review this piece. Originally downloading this I wasn't sure what to expect… and one thing's for sure, I never expected this.On first listen… a little weird… perhaps a bit too brave… not that keen on the parody Three to Four listens… getting to really like this now, beautiful instruments, excellent singing, and odd but strangely enjoyable voice overs. And now… Well it's on in the car CD compilation and I'm so bloody glad it is. I think people will miss out on this perhaps because it's a bit 'way off theC64' mark, but I love it. Fantastic orchestration and Mahoney is guilty as ever of trying something a bit differnet. I works great for me. I hope others don't miss out on this great track by disregarding it on first impressions. Thanks guys and gals - a favorite of mine! |

Comic Bakery (Larger than Pop Boyband mix) - arranged by PRESS PLAY ON TAPEReview by Tomsk, 02/09/2004 Gosh - I haven't written a review of this… Hmmm. I'll start by saying I'm not really a fan of the pop music genre, but am prepared to accept the odd catchy pop ditty that takes a fancy for me. On first hearing it my thoughts were "very professional" and "they've done a great parody". But the more I listen the more I enjoy, and it's got to the point now where I laugh at the lyrics of the original because they sound 'wrong'. I often like to take a while to write a review because opinions can change, and that is certainly true of this tune. Brilliant stuff boys, even without the brilliant video this is still a superb and hugely professional piece of pop - and it has everything and more to make a great catchy track… Now IS the time to say how much I really love this! |

Gordian Tomb Adventures - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by Tomsk, 02/09/2004 I suppose it's hard not to mention Glyn's other Symphonic work of the same period, but I have to say that I do prefer this amazing piece of work. I love the depth and warmth the version has to offer, from the quiet and mellow string sections, to the brilliant (Enrico Moricone) voices and the climactic finish. As always, lavish attention has been paid to this tune, and it shows. Hugely professional composition and good instrument quality to boot. Thanks for a wonderfull mix Glyn! |

Mindsmear (Orchestral Mix) - arranged by ACPReview by Jackal, 02/09/2004 Excellent stuff!!! I thought I was never gonna see one of my tunes remixed on here😉 Thanks for taking the time! You made my dayI liked the brass runs in the background, its a hard tune to remix, the original was such a ramble in the first place.. You did well not ending up playing Pachabel's Canon.. |

Great Giana Sisters - arranged by Dr FutureReview by Bjorn H., 31/08/2004 And I am glad that author did not change the style to the umpa-techno-umpa. Original Giana intro music is nothing special (on contrary to the in-game tunes), but this remix is just brilliant. This is not just a remix, it is a new tune - Dr Future developed original "muzaga" into real music. Two (even three) thumbs up! |

Great Giana Sisters - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by fenghus, 25/08/2004 Too good to be true It maintains original sound despite completely different instrumentation. I recommend looking to www. machinaesupremacy. com for more songs (esp. sidology tunes) |

The Last Ninja (clouded mind version) - arranged by mymessedupmindReview by westerling, 17/08/2004 This version is very different from the original song. A slo-mo version. It is a very clean and simple arrangement and the man who has done it underlines the agony of being the last ninja. I like it a lot. One of the best!!! |

Deflektor (REMIXED-3v1-) - arranged by DeesReview by floaf, 17/08/2004 I don't know why, but I really like this remix. I think it must be all the improvisation. And it's unpredictable nature A worthy remix of the original! |

R-Type (Doppelganger Summer Remix) - arranged by LagerfeldtReview by putzi, 14/08/2004 The lead is really "ouch" while the rest is so clean and tidy. Maybe have some beta-listeners hear the track before releasing it next time. It helps big time, I know myself. I like the guitar, it makes the groove. The trancey synth could do a little more in the track.And if you want to use German words… it is spelled "Doppelgänger" 😉 (I really don´t like to write reviews on other ppls remixes when my own remix is in the weekly charts at the same time because it looks like wanting to say "my remix is better than yours, but this time I can´t help it…) |

Calm - arranged by Juha KaunistoReview by franky, 13/08/2004 Fantasic Work, perfect arranged and played. A outstanding Guitarline, good Rock´nRoll. One of the best ever! |

Delta+ - arranged by WeeblReview by franky, 13/08/2004 Very interesting remix, solid drumline that is the base of the song, swirly sounds and a good vocal line at the end. |

Thrust - arranged by JBReview by _steve_, 07/08/2004 This remix is one of the most unusual for the game that I have heard, but it works awesomely. The sax lead is very jazz like but fits in with the setting of the tune perfectly. |

Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOYReview by Mayhem, 06/08/2004 I said to myself, many many years back before the cover scene even really started, this track could be so damn good in a professional music sense with someone overlaying vocals onto it. It may well have taken 15 years for it to actually happen, but the waiting is the best part of it. The result in itself is absolutely brilliant. Notwithstanding this is one of my favourite MoN tracks to begin with, but it retains the sparkle and altruistic impact of the original melody all of the way through.The fact in the end the lyrics are not in English was a little surprising. Either way, they work, and that's the most important thing. The actual meaning of the words, given the handy translation here, are also of a similar theme to which I would hope they would have been given all that time ago. If this is to be N-Joy's last work, then what a work to finish on… |

Lightforce 2k theme - arranged by mladenReview by condor, 02/08/2004 I like this remix in some reasons, like quality of it, but then again, i don't like it so much - it's not realisitc! (if you know what i mean). |

Driller (Subtractor Remix) - arranged by elwood-idReview by eliot, 01/08/2004 Welcome to the community!A bit minimalistic, but matches 100%, well-balanced arrangement. I hope, you will upload more nice remixes . |
|
Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOYReview by eliot, 01/08/2004 This is not his best work, so I can't vote for "outstanding"It's very solid, but I miss the final "kick". What a pity, this is the last remix he or DHS will ever made * extremly sad * We will miss your spirit and at least there is hope, you will deceide for a "comeback" |
|
Driller (Subtractor Remix) - arranged by elwood-idReview by atesz, 01/08/2004 At last! The ultimate Driller remix. I have waited a long time for it, finally it's here. Excellent, brilliant remix of Matt Gray's original. Much-much better than the one on BIT 2. Keep up the good work elwood-id. |
|
Driller (Darkside of the moon) - arranged by InfamousReview by franky, 31/07/2004 When i hear this song i couldn´t believe that this is SID of driller. It is perfect arrangend and sounds like a Vangelis or a early Jarre but it is the orginal driller SID Melody. Outstanding work, Infamous. |
|
Delta (borst remix) - arranged by jgbReview by franky, 31/07/2004 This Tune is has a groovie beat so that the song is not so sad as the other remixes of Delta. Respect for the groovie work you have done "JGB". |
|
Triplex (Electronic Mix) - arranged by SupersonicReview by franky, 31/07/2004 Very Tecnical Sound with some great soundeffects. I like this song from the first arcords and it impress me what people could do with the old SID tunes. |
|
Great Giana Sisters - arranged by machinae supremacyReview by valentinerevolt, 30/07/2004 This is an excellent remake, it sticks to the original well whilst being a wildly different style. Its loud, its fun and its techinally amazing. Great guitar work in this piece. |
