Spaceballs - State Of The Art (No Corruption Mix) - arranged by Gareth Wood

Review by lee.oades, 08/10/2024

Captures all of the character of the original but for modern ears. Love it. Beautifully done. Big time nostalgia too - can still see the dancing girls.

Yie Ar Kung Fu II - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review by LaLa, 30/09/2024

This is sooo nice, Eivind! The soft intro with the piano and the strings, then the cello - just wonderful to listen to. And when the choir comes in at the ~2 minute mark with the lead singer - wow, just lovely.

I think the string legatos could be better, at times they are almost non-existent, making the strings sound a bit robotic, but that is such a minor technical gripe.

What's important here is that this tune is full of emotions - I was actually sad and surprised that it ended so early, somewhat abruptly. Maybe could've used a nice decrescendo outro…

Well done, I quite enjoyed this, thanks for sharing it with us!

Zoids - arranged by Anthrol

Review by LaLa, 17/09/2024

The heaviness of the original comes through nicely with the instrumentation, however, more attention should've been paid to the drums (which are weak). Some pads could've filled the currently empty space of the sound spectrum, too. The overall mix sounds a bit too dry to me, could've used more delay or reverb.

Den Indre Kilde - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review by Divus, 16/09/2024

A perfect selection of instruments and octaves without too many modern unnecessary transitions. Music as it was 100 years ago. A return to the time of our great-grandparents and great-grandfathers. It can be listened to for days by several generations of listeners .

Den Indre Kilde - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review by LaLa, 16/09/2024

Excellent arrangement and full of emotions, especially when considering that Kjell apparently released this the same year he took his own life… But the reason I didn't vote red on this is because the lead instruments are too in-your-face. They need to be softer and gentler in the mix, especially for a deeply moving piece like this.

Caer Aisling - arranged by Vandahlia

Review by Eivind Sommersten, 30/08/2024

I love this SID! I think you did a good job with the remix. The rythm of the SID is difficult to imitate (I have tried 😅), but I think you managed it quite well. The bridge at 2:13 is also lovely and true to the original, you've succeeded in recreating a song which is technically difficult and somewhat unorthodox both as a SID and as a piece of music. I wish there was more to the arrangement though - after a very short intro the tune is more or less similar in mood and dynamics throughout. It's not a big problem but I feel there is unused potential here! It also ends a little abrubtly. I have to say I really miss the rolling bass of the original - to me it's an important part of it. Overall I absolutely appreciate the effort - it's obvious that musically you know what you are doing. Also, you have great taste in SIDs! 😉

80s Supremacy - arranged by Makke

Review by LaLa, 03/08/2024

Superb idea - but where is the singing, and the grunts, the ow's, the hoo's, and the hee-hees? Makke, are you okay? 😉 I feel that the arrangement in the first minute or so is a bit awkward as you are trying to force Supremacy down the throat of this smooth criminal. But the instrumentation and the style is almost spot-on. Great smashup!

Heaven - arranged by Rock & JLD

Review by Dr.j Delysid, 02/08/2024

i am sure 'Jussi Hannula' will be proud of this renedition . The remix of Heaven is a captivating masterpiece that beautifully blends emotional depth with inspiring melodies. The track's seamless transitions and layered harmonies evoke a sense of serenity and introspection, making it a truly transformative listening experience , i especiialy love the change from the piano smooth and emotional rythm to a powerful guitar riff . a killer one for sure. Rock & JLD you made it again !! 10/10 from Dr.j

Lethargic - arranged by Eivind Sommersten

Review by LaLa, 08/07/2024

Sometimes there's a tune that stays with you for days and days, and it doesn't let you go for whatever reason. I've been listening to this one for days now, and it's not letting me go. I don't know why. Maybe because it has the perfect combination of oldsk00l charm and a melancholic theme. And the flute-based break in the middle reminds me of 1970s whodunnit TV series… I can't explain why, but I am captivated by this remix.

RoboCop (Binary Hearts Beating In Time mix) - arranged by Cinnamon Dreams offline

Review by Poke16384, 03/07/2024

I'm assuming, based on Cinnamon Dreams' previous 2 uploads that this song is also 100% AI generated. That changes the rules upon which it should be judged. If all of the creation, arrangement and mix/master is the work of an AI program then the only skill or ability we can attribute to the uploader is their ability to feed a set of parameters to the AI program… and that isn't why Remix64 exists. Best AI Programmer won't ever be one of the Remixer of the Year awards.. Whether you are a remixer or somebody who simply enjoys listening to remixes, (and I'm both), the attraction of both RKO & Remix64 is hearing the creativity and imagination of real musicians and their interpretation of SID music into their own style, genre & arrangement.. and all of those tasty little bits of ear-candy in a finished remix..? They usually evolve during the creative process.. with new ideas emerging as more things are added to the tune.. AI cannot & does not do that.. On first viewing, xazzo's pukey greens seemed harsh but.. he's actually right! There is no musical technique or artistic skill here.. and the finished tune has no essence of the original to give it nostalgia.. It's just a computer crudely hammering a set of cheesy lyrics into the same chords…

Echoes of Eternity - arranged by Rock & JLD

Review by Dr.j Delysid, 02/07/2024

After 15 seconds, you know you are going to a great place. The lead guitars are banging, and the development of the song is amazing. For me, it's top-notch work—not just because of the beautiful guitar work, but for the completeness of the song and its great energetic vibes. Love it from the start to the end! Rock + JLD you are guyz fuckin' amazing and pls keep doing those cool remixes!!

Let's face it, Johan Danielsson back then already put the bar pretty high for his time with his SID. Your remix is spot on, I am with @lomaxx in regards of the lead is a bit thin compared to the guitar, tiny gripe though. Thanks for Sharing!

Thank you so much, for taking my terrible little chiptune from 1984, and making it into something special. I wrote this theme when I was 14! I hope I have done better since then. You have made the theme into a completely new and better song! THANK YOU!!
