Comic Bakery (Larger than Pop Boyband mix) - arranged by PRESS PLAY ON TAPEReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 There are so many reviews now, I can just say: This remix kicks ass. And if you have not seen the video, you missed a lot |

Armageddon Man (Vocal Jazz feat. Karin Öjehagen) - arranged by MahoneyReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 The first time I listend to it, I thoughtWOW- one of the best remixes ever. There are no words they can express how good it is. |
|
Firelord - Symphonic - arranged by Glyn R BrownReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 The orchestral attempt was a really good idea, but the samples do not reflect a real orchester, the most instruments sound too flat. |
|
Space Harrier (Cooksley vs Bach Mix) - arranged by Karl R PettersenReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 Why upload an abandoned, buggy work? This makes no sense, it seems the arranger does not like it at all. The strange lead starting at 1:11 is one of the bugs (at least the choosen instrument). Any one remember the decent pseudo-drums in the original SID? Next time Karl, complete the work or trash it. But at least I like the end |
|
Jinks Rebound - arranged by Krister NielsenReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 It seems that many of the arrangers run out of ideas. To replace the drums and copy the leads from the original is no artistic improvement. My voting always reflects the Artistic Impression and there is less I can vote for - even when it's quite ok to listen. |

C64 Turrican 2 Summer Remix - arranged by Markus SieboldReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 I was not a fan of the originial SID and this version does not kick. It's quite ok, but very much repeations, no variations, lead is more in background than leading… quite boring for me, a tune just downloaded, voted and forgotten. |
|
Last Ninja Remix (A Ninja By Night Remix) - arranged by Eric DelosReview by eliot, 10/03/2003 I need to load the original SID to believe, it has anything to do with Reyn's Last Ninja, indeed I found something… but it can not count as remix. As LaLa already mentionend.. no beginning, no end, especially a abrupt end (does not even loop correctly)… really boring. |
|
X-Out - arranged by Rafael Dyll offlineReview by wizzball, 10/03/2003 The orchestra sounds good. I like how it starts, nice and peacfull and then getting violent.. .. the cymbals are not too heavy though and again cool soundeffects. Picked a nice one out to remix. |
|
Dan Dare 3 - arranged by Rafael Dyll offlineReview by wizzball, 10/03/2003 Well I'm not an expert in music but I can say U Hit the sounds really well. The Intro is really cool, but the fade in at the beginning sounds a bit to quick. The End fAde sounds much better. All in one stil a great job. I really enjoyed listening to this one. |
|
Delta (Return to the Delta mix) - arranged by Rafael Dyll offlineReview by wizzball, 10/03/2003 introduction is nice… soundeffects are great,like the piano and most of all the bass.. gives the whole thing something groovy.. get goose pimples while listening. Reminds me of the good old days. Keep up the good work. |

Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by vosla, 08/03/2003 first of all : i really hate the game and the original score isn't one of my favorites. so my start with this tune was under a really bad star. the tune went a completely other way though.a really strange acapella start smashes my bad expectations. the tune enfolds, so the original score comes through. what i thought to be an annoying remix of an annoying sid turned into an amusing, wierd and funny tune with a replay-value. it turns to a stomping, sinister parody. did somebody mentioned nine inch nails? the latter half would classify as a soundtrack for a warped quake episode. definately not the music i would play at normalparties, this tune comes with a big wink-wink in the eye. i LOVE it! NYAHAHAHAAA… oops. |

Ocean Loader 2 (Dance X-Periment) - arranged by Sonic WandererReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 A very nice dance-remix and I feel happy while listening, I guess that was the intention. The Arpeggio was quite in shape compared to the original SID (yes, I did). For a real dance-track the introduction is much too long, but there is shadow where is sun |
|
Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 I was loughing at the first second A really great and awesome attempt to create a individual piece of music full of energy and feelings. |
|
The Last Ninja (clouded mind version) - arranged by mymessedupmindReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 Very nice, minimalistic attempt to create something besidetraditionalremixes. For my taste it fits, but without the special kick and too hard drums. |
|
Parallax (JunoPowerMix!) - arranged by SumegiReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 aaargh, my ears… never heard that high and wrong notes on the original SID. The arranger had a lack of phantasy - flat, no flair - just cold, boring synth. Even Reason could do much better. |
|
Arkanoid (version x mix) - arranged by FTCReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 I appreciate new views of songs - even quite strange attempts like this - the original flair was gone, but overall itfeelsgood. I can not describe my feelings, but somehow this track touched me. There are some crackles and a noticeable background noise at the end of the track and of course I miss mp3-tags (Jan, just press alt& 3in winamp) I'm not sure what Nostalgic Impressionreally means… the quality of nostalgic seems a bit odd to me - maybe someone can explain that to me, but it does not count for my voting anyways. |
|
Miami Vice Loada - arranged by MistaDistahReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 Hmm… I have grown up… I catch the flair of this song. Maybe I was in a bad mood 1 1/2 years ago and I have to reevalute my judging 😉 I guess the end is still a bit out of phase, but overall grandious(edited 2004-08-31) |

Arabian Zoids (Themed Solo) - arranged by LarsecReview by eliot, 08/03/2003 Besides the female voice there is nothing reallyarabianin this song. I like the voices very much, and I wished they where much longer and the leading instruments have been converted to this style too, 3:25 to 3:53 was at least a start or shall I say a trySome of the individual chunksat the end of the track do not need to make sense, but they feel wrong, Rambo at the beginning fits fine for me The stereo profile of the lead instruments is not existent and the low mp3 rate does not satisfy me. (I listen any music always with my headphones (Sennheiser SD590).) Besides a small glitch at 5:50 and the individual chunkson the end, this track is technically good. The guitar solo is a highlight for me but also sounds a bit Mike Oldfield to me😉 - a SID-cover does not need to be a 1:1 cover, but should transport the flair of the C64. Zoids is one of my all time favourites so the nostalgic impression has to be a 6. 0 |

Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by arbory, 06/03/2003 Absolutely super-cool!!!!!definitly a hit for the dancefloor, i like the details in the voice arrangment and this deep-mad-grooving bassline at the end, before the track stops suddenly… for this ending i can give only )instead of the )) in Artistic Impression😉 |

Paperboy (Peaper boayh mix) - arranged by Dr Doom & Komatr:ohnReview by LMan, 06/03/2003 This is surely not what you'd expect from a remix of Paperboy… but it surely rocks, mon! A boombastic dub-triphop-ragga-breakbeat blasts you up to higher states of conciousness, while the melody played in dubby ethno style keeps you there.The mixing and production quality is pretty good. Overall this is a great remix, very close to Outstanding. |
|
Cauldron II - I am a Pumpkin Man - arranged by traumaReview by DHS, 03/03/2003 This remix has only one big flaw: it's too shortI want more of it! Much more! Trauma put togheter high quality and well chosen samples, mix and arrange everything perfectly and makes one one of the most original (if not *the* most original) remixes out there. The final bits are simply outstanding. |

Miami Vice Loada - arranged by MistaDistahReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 Teetering on the faster edge of the chill-out crowd this cover does a poor jobof emphasizing what I think is the essence of Galway's original: the evolution of sound and musical patterns. The morphing here is gone, replaced by more discretely defined musical sections. Those sections, however, are very good by themselves and turn this piece into a Pink Floydish hypnotic dream (as demonstrated by those electric guitar sounds with lots of tremolo). All in all, a pretty good piece that falls a little short of being excellent. |
|
Arkanoid (version x mix) - arranged by FTCReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 The echo chamber quality of the lead makes me believe this remix was recordedin a huge ice cavern, while the supporting instruments sound tube-like to me. Until the middle of the remix when it does a strange switch to a quite different set. This switcharoo left me confused and dazed. I think what this remix misses is direction. |
|
Sanx(ion) from the moment we kissed - arranged by J LofReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 High-paced, energetic remix with a fairly unimaginative drum line. For somereason at times it reminds me of the soundtrack of The Matrix movie. I think with a better constructed rhythm section this remix would be a real winner, but in its current form it leaves me a bit cold. |
|
Crazy Comets - arranged by YoshiReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 I like thespaceyeffects heard here and there in this remix, I also like the bassline, but I don't think this remix fills out the audio space and frequency spectrum it was given and thus sounds a little pale. It has a good groove to it but it's not supported by enough instruments. A nice effort that doesn't go far enough. |
|
Platoon (Sub tune 3) - arranged by Clayton MarslandReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 I think there's more to Jonathan Dunn's original piece than what this covershows of it. First I'd throw out that thin and shrieky lead and replace it with something of more authority. Then I'd add more punch to the supporting instruments. I dig the bassline a lot, so I'd keep that. I'd also keep the beginning, it works really well, but I'd shorten it a bit to get to the point (the melody) faster. All in all, I think Marsland needs to spend more time on perfecting this cover. |
|
Laxity Again (mellow mix) - arranged by Joe [Stainless Steel] BarwickReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 This Laxity tune is, IMHO, much underrated. I think it'd lend itself more to ajazzy treatment, but this approach is not too bad, either. It's more of an electronic ballad with definite sad undertones. I wish there were more variations in this cover, though. Kinda nice but I wasn't blown away by it. |
|
Last Ninja Remix (A Ninja By Night Remix) - arranged by Eric DelosReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 Slow-paced cover, but I think more is missing from it than what it adds toOuwehand's tune. I can't put my finger on what is missing from it, this tune just doesn't make much sense to me: strings and piano, no proper beginning, no proper ending, it just _IS_. |
|
Parallax (JunoPowerMix!) - arranged by SumegiReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 Sounds like something that was put together on a soft-synth like Reason with alittle laziness. It's a bit too repetetive and the instruments sound somewhat flat. The arrangement is not very imaginative, either. I can't say I'm impressed by this remix a lot. |
|
Last Ninja Remix - Sewers (soft mix) - arranged by CytexReview by LaLa, 01/03/2003 Moving along at a nice and relaxed pace this cover of a remix is quitepleasant. I especially like the long delays (echoes) on that sax-like lead. It's a nice piece even if nothing special. |
