It has a very midi sound.
This was something that needs a lot of work.
There are no dynamics and intrument envelops.

Cybernoid II (Like a Dream) - arranged by Mario Barbierato

Review by LaLa, 03/12/2022

Wonderful! Stylistically, it reminds me of a cross between Robert Miles and Enigma. It's a very nice trance/chill-out remix of Cybernoid II! If that's the style you were going for, then you totally nailed it.

Love the vocal coming in at around 2:30! Who is the singer?

I wish the drums were a bit more pronounced in the mix, they are just a tad too soft.

NOTE: There's a short glitch in the recording at 2:29 where all sounds pause for about half a second - I doubt that was intentional.

One Man and his Droid (2022 Jarre space mix) - arranged by chosc

Review by LaLa, 29/11/2022

It's not exactly a stretch to cover this song in Jarre's style, as Mr. Hubbard himself stated that he was inspired a lot by Jarre for this tune. Marcel did a superb job of covering OMAHD in Magnetic Fields style on his Project Sidologie album, but this one is fairly good, too. I wish it included even more pastiche from Jarre, but it's a great effort, nevertheless.

Angel Face - Back to Basics Remix - arranged by Oxx

Review by tim_forsyth, 24/11/2022

I enjoyed this, the countdown and beats remind me of the game Rez.

Extra red points for making the majority of the patches and your mix has a good amount of weight and punch to it.

I used my washing machine in a remix once, but I think you should get an award in the new year for most novel application of a household appliance in a remix.

Stormlord - arranged by Reyn Ouwehand

Review by slaygon, 15/11/2022

The weight and timing of each keystroke reveals the emotion that went into this. The highs and lows are perfectly emphasized here. The rolls in-between tell their own story in a way, too.

Generally, I do not like piano-only pieces because it is so darn difficult to get emotion out of the instrument, and it requires someone of Reyn's caliber to coax every bit of emotion out of it, which he does here.

Masterclass.

A great send-off for a fallen scener. Rest in peace Johannes!

Zynaps (Vaggelis saved me) - arranged by Slaygon

Review by ALPA, 14/11/2022

I really like this one! Sent me back in time and gave me that boyroom feel. Playing a cool new game and dreaming of one day being able to make music. Fuel for what was to be, and still is, the best thing ever; To make music inspired by what pixels, chip sounds and code could accomplish together. Nicely done!

Last Ninja (Shanghai Blues) - arranged by 0supereg0

Review by LaLa, 10/11/2022

Before I get into my nitpicking, let me just say that I absolutely love the free-flowing, stream-of-consciousness semi-improvisational jam session style of this very creative arrangement!

But. 😄

The guitar that comes in at 0:38 - it sticks out like a sore thumb. Sounds like it has different reverb applied to it than the rest of the tracks, and thus it sounds out of place mixing-wise. (This applies for the rest of the remix where the same guitar can be heard.)

I am not a fan of that sudden change at 3:11. Three minutes into it this tune kinda puts me in a nice trance as I go with the flow of the music and my mind starts to float away, then BAM! comes this. Kinda jarring.

As I said: this is nitpicking. 😁 Because otherwise this piece demonstrates a high level of creativeness, which I really respect.

Sweet - arranged by Reyn Ouwehand

Review by Waz, 09/11/2022

What a heartfelt and emotional piece this is. It has all the feeling of the original intact and is such a lovely tribute to the sadly missed Johannes Bjerregaard. It's haunting, it's dark and yet powerfully melodic at the same time with so much emotion. It's hard to describe, but there's just so many wonderful moments to this remix.

Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOY

Review by LaLa, 05/11/2022

18 years later this is still a fantastic remix. And thanks for the English translation - now I know what the Italian lyrics mean!

It is rather poignant to listen to it again on the same day I learned of Johannes' passing…

A wonderful, wonderful piece of music that goes a long way to easy my pain tonight.

Spike In Transylvania (Tune 2) - arranged by DJs. DoMoDo

Review by Ahriakin, 30/10/2022

I'd agree that the 2nd half is the better. The overall mix I think has some phase issues and sounds like maybe a stereoiser plugin was overused across the mix with no regard for how doing that with Bass especially might muddy things up. In the 2nd half this is still present and with that arrangement works better. If so some automation of that effect would help tremendously before maybe ditching it altogether and going back to the mix for width (where application per track might achieve a much cleaner and impactful result).

Terra Cresta Remix - arranged by dEViLOCk

Review by LaLa, 30/10/2022

First, you need a better orchestral sound library, me thinks. Second, even though I think it was a good idea to mix strings and synths, somehow they just don't mesh together well in this arrangement. I like where you're going with this, but I don't think you're there with this remix, yet.

Comic Bakery Live Performance - arranged by Tony Fluke73 Wiren

Review by LaLa, 25/10/2022

I really like the reggae groove here, but I think the lead instruments don't make it justice, they sound too flat and artificial to me, void of any articulation that would make them come alive (other than the vibrato on the trumpet).

Grand Prix Circuit Title - arranged by Oxx

Review by Marcus, 24/10/2022

Great track!
Clarity: Mission accomplished.
But your are right Oxx! There's a lack of bass foundation. So the kick and the bass sound a bit dull. Maybe too much low cut filter. Or try a different kick drum and/or bass with more punch.
But overall it's a matter of taste if you want more depth and warmth.
The lead synth starting at 0:44 is really sounding great. Sharp and clear. The same at 0:57 2nd synth.
The snare and claps fitting very good.

I like your track very much.

Katapillar Eliminator (Ice Age mix) - arranged by Tim Forsyth

Review by LaLa, 24/10/2022

It has a certain oldsk00l feeling to it, and I don't mean just the melodies - the instrumentation, the arrangement all reminds me of 90s tracker music for some reason.

I really enjoy this extended mix (versus the < 4 minute one at the compo, although that was pretty good, too). The mix is buttery smooth, it's nicely balanced from a technical perspective. The arrangement of the various songs is also very good, the transitions are so seamless and it all feels natural, not forced.
