Stardust Memories - arranged by Makke

Review by Armandox, 20/01/2023

I never heard the original, but this has been very well produced and mixed. Everything finds it's place in this remix and it's also exceptionally well mastered. I like the late 80's synthwave and eurodance vibe in this! I'm going to check out more of your remixes!

Dark Star - arranged by Chris Prattini

Review by joenemesys, 19/01/2023

It gently speaks to the heart through the fog of feelings with the grace of a little candle lighting up a forgotten room full of shades…I love how instruments and voice tie together towards the end with an elegiac tone

X-Out Highscore - arranged by Amok

Review by AmigaMelody, 19/01/2023

Very uplifting as the original, but wrong notes ruin it for me (1:53, 1:56, 2:02, 2:04 etc. - should be lower).

Fun-kay! Congrats, you made an excellent piece of 70s psychedelica out of Arkanoid! Pretty vocals, too. And nailed the ending, too. Well, nailed it all!

Delta - At your humble service - arranged by 0supereg0

OK, this starts out the same as your Delta Multi Genre remix. Excellent guitar work and nicely mixed. Of the two I like this one more.

Delta Multi Genre - arranged by 0supereg0

Review by monty, 10/01/2023

It starts (and ends) GREAT with that guitar play that strongly reminded me of Wilco's How to fight loneliness. Would have loved the whole track to be treated in that laid back style. The sandwiched part is not bad either, but a litte bit too generic for my taste. However, I very much enjoyed your remix! Recover well soon!

Metal Warrior Ultra - arranged by Glyn R Brown

Review by LaLa, 10/01/2023

Whoa! Glyn doing guitars!?!… As usual, pro-level remix. And when the choir comes in, too… Whew!
My only complaint about it is the relatively soft volume level throughout the track (average -17.0 LUFS - that's low).

DNA Warrior (Nobody wants to be my friend) - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review by LaLa, 19/12/2022

Pretty funky, I like the groovy vibes going on here. Personally, I feel the vocals are forced on this tune, they don't seem to fit 'naturally' with the rest of the arrangement. By which I mean if you dropped the sections with the vocals, this remix would be just as good - they don't seem to add anything of value (at least, not to me). Otherwise, excellent job.

Sweet (ft Gibs) - arranged by Mordi

Review by LaLa, 08/12/2022

Wow, wow, wow!


Be impressed by my triple-wow, because this being my all-time favorite SID, I am especially picky about remixes that attempt to re-interpret it.


At first I found the intro a bit too slow, but it's growing on me. The silk-soft lead instrument and the overall softness of the entire production is impressive. It would be hard to top the expressive Yamaha CS-80 lead that Marcel Donne put into his remix, but you've done a great job here, Mordi.


When the guitar lead kicks in, it really tickles my heart, makes my legs tremble, tears form in my eyes, and gives me goosebumps - just like it does when I listen to the original SID. Which means that this remix manages to evoke the same emotions in me, and that's no small feat.


Also kudos for the beautiful coda you've added to the end, it's such attention to the detail in the arrangement that makes this remix truly outstanding.


Thank you, Mordi, for this remix! I'll carry it in my heart forever.

Camel Riders Inc - arranged by Glyn R Brown

Review by LaLa, 08/12/2022

Leave it to Mr. Brown to pluck out an obscure Bjerregaard tune and turn it into remix gold. If this is what's laying around in your unfinished folder, I wonder what other treasures it might hide?!?…

The Arabian feeling is totally there, the vocals, the strings - exceptionally well done.

One gripe I have with this: I think it could've used some additional mastering, as the overall volume is pretty low. A simple compressor on the master track could've solved much of this problem (Maximus to the rescue…), but I think it could've used some boost in the low-end, too.

Beyond (The Ballad Mix) - arranged by Dr Future

Review by LaLa, 07/12/2022

I like this version more than the Uptempo Mix which was released at the same time. The acoustic guitar and the sax are so romantic and warm and cozy! I think the 80s drums of the Uptempo Mix would work better here then the current ones, but that's my only gripe here.

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.
