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. |

Kung Fu Master (The Beatrix Mix) - arranged by are beReview by hbasm, 28/07/2004 There is something quite attractive about this remix. Although perhaps it does lack a strong and defined bass, and the overall sound may rely too much on dynamic compression. But the selection of instruments is interesting and plays well together. The result may not be categorised as easy listening. But I tend to give music my full attention (if I like it anyway) and I always listen with good earphones so I have no problem understanding what is going on. As for nostalgic impression, I don't have any memories about the Kung Fu Master game, but I think the remix maintains the feeling of C64. There is high energy and some creative elements to this remix. |

Wooloop (ambient remix) - arranged by DeesReview by vincenzo, 27/07/2004 The original composition by Mindflow is a ~30 second long music, it's a great, atmospheric track and a perfect fit for Timewaster intro by Focus.I immediately fell in love with this remix, as it gives the same goosebumps as the original and also goes further with additional instruments and melodies. The only thing I would change is the kinda cheesy supersaw instrument but otherwise this is a perfect remix. Well done, mr. Dees! Wish you were back with more remixes like this. |

Zak Mcommando Kracken - arranged by Puffy64Review by monty_mole, 26/07/2004 A remix between ZakMcKraken and Commando? At first I was scepticalness. I thought a mix between 2 sids which are so different cannot be good.But the song is one of my favourits Puffy songs, like c64audio sayed, it sounds really like an 80er tv theme. |
|
Caverns of Khafka (Thriller mix) - arranged by dor-xReview by monty_mole, 25/07/2004 I don't understand the bad rating.Yes, it's technical no masterpiece but with the creepy Vincent Price like voice this mix it's really nice. |
|
Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by monty_mole, 25/07/2004 Absolutely strange.One of my absolute favourite remixes, weird atmosphere and funny vocals. A bit better than the great schizophreniac mix from forbidden forest. |
|
Panther (Blitz Mix) - arranged by ifadeoReview by monty_mole, 25/07/2004 I think the original sid from that game was okay but not really one of my favourites. But the remix is great, I think it's sounds a little like carpenter to his best times. |

Arkanoid - arranged by Romeo KnightReview by maindrian, 24/07/2004 What can I say? Forgive me for being overenthusiastic when I write my reviews, but I hear so much stuff I dig here these days, I have to pass comment. Romeo rocks… No, he RAWKS! Thats the highest commendation I can give I think.So, you've heard Arkanoid a thousand times before, you're sick of it. Get over it and wrap your ears around this interpretation. Pounding drums, roaring, bassy guitars and some awesome soundscapes. This is, absolutely 100% Arkanoid. At the same time, its a new spin on things. On the critical side, I really don't like that wobbly bass sound. It seems out of place and ugly. Ugly enough to dissapoint me after a cracking intro. I could be just looking for holes to pick, but it really gets on my nerves. Ah well… Overall. Nice. In two remixes, Romeo has pretty much blown my bloody doors off. I await more with baited breath. |

Future Shock (Analogue addicts mix) - arranged by WobblerReview by vosla, 21/07/2004 It's part of my playlist for quite a long time now and imho an evergreen for me. It's slow, bassy and sexy… Need to say more? 😉 |

Ocean Loader V2 - arranged by Instant RemedyReview by deguoren, 18/07/2004 … Yeah, this is one of my favourite melodies, and in a very good condition in its covered form…… conservative synth-sound refreshed with percussion samples… … more, please, more… … by the way - it reminds me of the Dragon´s Demo-Reset-Part for the good old AMIGA 500… … thanx to Instant Remedy… |

Druid (Orchestral) - arranged by AcamantorReview by nettuno, 13/07/2004 Pare quantizzato con l'accetta, tanto sono precise e nette le singole note, pero' l'idea e' buona, l'orchestrazione un po' meno (io avrei usati differentemente ottoni, archi & fiati) piu' per gusti personali che per altro.Very Good |
|
Scumball - arranged by Dan TootillReview by skurk, 13/07/2004 I can't say it's terrible, because I can't do any better myself, but at some points it sounds like the composer is tone deaf. Some notes are really way off, but throughout the tune he gets it mostly right. The sound, the beat and everything is really great, but those few high-pitch notes are like needles some times. |

Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOYReview by Skitz, 12/07/2004 This is just amazing! I must admit I donot remember the original SID track too much but this remix is just incredible!Only thing is I would love to hear this with English lyrics not being able to understand a word she is singing 😊 Still, this is just superb! Top marks to N-Joy for the production and Simona for amazing vocals! |

IK+ (Nokia mix) - arranged by DJ SubslashReview by rushjet1, 12/07/2004 I thought the beat was cool and the music was ok, and was like why does this get a bad rating?! then I heard the phone tune come in. then I realized the cool music looped every 5 seconds or something like that - it's really repetitive and grating. The phone music ruins it. |

Indiana Jones (Non Vocal Ethno Revenge) - arranged by Thomas Detert offlineReview by ianni, 11/07/2004 Again, this has no C64 ish scene value, no melodic/rhythmic connections going on and for some strange reason, this song has alot of Excellents? Me smell a Pumping Up by ghost voters? |
|
Indiana Jones (Ethno Revenge) - arranged by Thomas Detert offlineReview by ianni, 11/07/2004 I really, REALLY dont like this song at all. I don't even understand why its even here. It has nothing to do with the scene… Someone should remove this… |

KikStart 2 - arranged by IceXuickReview by xonder, 08/07/2004 I kind of like what IceXuick has done with the Kikstart 2 music here. It's a really big improvement over the original, and its upbeat, dance-friendly style suits the tune very well in my opinion. The remix itself is, like the original, very melodical which I consider to be a good thing. It tends to get a bit repetitive at times, but the remix is not that long, so it doesn't matter that much. Overall I consider it be a really solid and well-made piece of dance music which is really pleasing to listen to (for me anyway). I'd recommend this to anyone who like dance-remixes. |

Kung-Fu Master (Surf mix) - arranged by dor-xReview by maindrian, 07/07/2004 I absolutely freakin' love this, no doubt about it. My favourite remix yet this year. You would not believe the smile this bought to my face.I never had this game for the C64, truth be told. As a kid, with a lot of free time in the summer, I'd be in a lot of the sea-front arcades, playing games like Wonderboy, Pacland and… Kung Fu Master, what else? I wasted a crap-load of ten pence pieces on that machine and loved every second of jumpy, kicky, punchy action. The theme tune has been lodged in my head for years. Which brings me on to this remix. After a nice floaty synth opening… Just the very warm feeling that spread over me when I heard that familiar tune, played so well on a nice clean guitar. This is Kung Fu Master all right, but it also puts me in mind of Kill Bill and other Tarantino soundtracks. The playing is masterful. Love the solos, the tremolo work, all good. You occasionally sound like you're sruggling to play the main tune fast enough, but thats no biggie. I certainly couldn't play that riff. It all sounds like spot on exploitaion movie OST. So, to sum up. Thanks dor-x, you've managed to brighten up a shitty month in my life and make me grin like a loon. I love any remix that has guitar sounds like this one. Sort of similar to what I was going for with Times of Lore, only several million times better. Well done and thank you. I think I'll have to go lie down now… |

Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOYReview by nettuno, 03/07/2004 Un buon lavoro, ben arrangiato, neanche una nota fuoriposto e alla faccia degli strumenti un po' limitati ai quali pero' e' stata spremuta anche l'ultima goccia di suono.Ben fatto. (A very good work, well done!) |

Barbarian Orchestral - arranged by Endrõdy GáborReview by Tas, 03/07/2004 At first i thought this is strikingly simular to the remix64 volume 2 version, but upon further listening it seems that apart from only a few sections this is not as simular as first anticipated. I still wonder however if at least some inspirtation may have come from the remix64 volume 2 version. Thats not a complaint at all, but indeed if the case is so then quite a compliment.The tune isn't quite as polished as the volume 2 version with some lack of dynamics here and there and some of the instruments at times tend to be slightly dull sounding. However saying this, it's a really damn good effort and one i enjoyed emensly and of which contains some novel breaks which arn't contained in the original giving the track a rather fresh feeling while also keeping to the ethics of what the original had in mind. Not perfect, but not a million miles away… Love the really loud and brash ending of this one. |

Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOYReview by DHS, 02/07/2004 This revolutionary tune by my deadly friend NJoy (a really solid producer) is heavily and heavenly based on the works of Seneca The Old (Seneca il Vecchio), former father of Lucio Anneo Seneca, and, expecially, on his marble pack.After studying all his operas and the rethoric works of Fabiano Papirio, Njoy came up with a lyrics text very hard to be surpassed. According to my (anonymous but very reliable) sources in the Latinorium Academia, the arrangement is a nice variation of the typical NJoy style, mediterranean-melody string, under the sea allusions, complex drumming from a last generation Casiotone synth, and the lead character wonderfully sustained by the nicest, sexiest and bigsized boobies girl i know in the south of italy, the mystical DJ Poah. State of the art mastering tied with an illuministic vision of his underwear, NJoy managed again to give us an unforgettable rendition of a C64 tune (he only misses a bit of danish-producing competence to feel a little less idiot, but he's on the right path). BTW: this is the last r64 remix from njoy ever. The same goes with me and my marbleish pack. |
