Very cool *g* not a remix exactly, coz very similar to the original, but fits for me :-)
Agree with eliot. Perfect polish of the old SID-version!
Not too far from the original, but extremely cool to listen to. Ok, I'm biased bc Arkanoid is one of my favorite SIDs. But there's no rules here against being biased!:-)
One of the best arkanoid remixes here. Very nostalgic and sounds very cool.

Often the 'sid chip' gets forgotten about when an artist decides to remix a sid tune. In the early days of R64 many tunes were simply sid tunes with drums. I'd class this as a Sid remix with sid drums and some! Keeping the distinctive style of drum and sid this remix is just a dream to listen to. Not spoiling the original but enhancing it to a very professional level. Excellent!

Who can not remember the glourious days when we first listen the original on the C64 and speculate how Martin did the digi-fx 😃 (ok, some are too young 😊)

Richard's first remix, is really well done. It catches the flair of the original, the drums are 100% in shape, the stereo panorama is working too, all instruments are balanced and there is no flaw I can think off. For now, it's the best Arkanoid remix so far. Keep on this good work!
