Swedish Bit-Pop heroes THERMOSTATIC have announced their new album HUMANIZER has now been mastered and will be released in May 2008! The band has once again used the SID-Station to give each track that distinctive SID-chip sound! A video clip featuring a preview of the album can now be seen on the THERMOSTATIC website and you can also hear THREE complete tracks from the new album in the latest One Man & His Mic retro game music podcast from Kenz!
Finally, after weeks of PC crashing and data being lost, the DVD that Subzero originally wanted to make is complete. It has been completely revamped. New features are:
The footage quality is improved
The sound quality is improved
The menus have a more C64 feel to them
There's MORE content than before!
It all fits onto a single standard 4.7gb DVD-R (The original was a dual layer which not everyone can burn)
Subzero stated: "Once I have completed my initial tests, I will be sending out some master copies, and then hopefully the DVD will become more available - please remember, this DVD should be FREE!!! No one should have to pay for it and everyone should be able to get a copy of it..."
For more information on how to obtain the DVD please keep an eye on the topic in the message board (link below).

Like the sound of the new Remix64 "Syntax Era" CD, but are too broke/idle/mean to buy it? Well don’t panic, ’cos that nice Chris Abbott over at http://www.C64Audio.com has got 10 copies/downloads to give away to ANYONE here who is found to have Remix 64 in their top 4 friends!
Once a week for the next 10 weeks, Mr. Abbott’s highly trained ’Ninja-Monkey’ will be randomly checking out the R64 friends list. The first person found to have us in their top 4 friends, gets a copy of ’Syntax Era’.
What’s that? You already bought a copy? Well then, just choose ANY other CD album or download you want from the http://www.C64Audio.com shop instead! Jeez, happy now?
We’ll be announcing the lucky winners at our myspace.com page every Friday, before getting in touch with said person to post them their shiny CD or give them the download details.
Yes that's right folks! The CDs have now arrived at C64Audio.com. Chris Abbott has already begun sending out parcels to all the preorders. If you haven't ordered yours yet, now is the time, for this is probably the best Commodore related remix album of all times.
Pure Geek-cheek!
Take famous 80s tracks such as 19, Two Tribes, Too
Shy, Billy Jean, Broken Wings and I Feel Love, painstakingly recreate
the sound, and inject that into classic C64 music such as BMX Kidz,
Comic Bakery, Sanxion, Arkanoid and Ghouls and Ghosts.
Remixes come from amazing talent: Romeo Knight, LMan, Makke, Tom
Detert, Tron, Moog, Binster, Ziphoid, Boz, Sonic Wanderer, Tonka,
Skitz, Trace, Slaygon, iFadeo and even (gasp) a guest appearances here
and there from Chris Abbott.
You'll wonder how we could get away with such a cheeky tribute to
the 80s: well, no samples from the original tracks were used, and the
musical content has been replaced by the C64 tune covered.
The CD also features some really great songs in their own right,
which result from a perfect match between C64 melodies and hooks, the
sound of SID, and classic 80s instrumentation, such as Ace II, Jethro
Walrus, Aspar Grand Prix, and Dominator.
The CD was the baby of Markus "LMan" Klein, who acted as
Co-ordinator, remixer, artist and layout, and even made his own tea,
ably assisted by Tom Detert who did much of the mastering.
CD is in now shipping!
Tracks are available in high quality VBR MP3 and FLAC (all non-DRM).

This really is an excellent remix. It plays quite a bit slower than the original tune, but it's very enjoyable to listen to and stays very close to the original. I'd say Late Nite Mellow is a perfect way of describing this. One of my favorite remixes for sure.
I do not understand people who just comment to vote a track down...But that´s a topic for the board i think.
I would have loved this song, even it would be in english, spanish, chinese or swedish. It´s the artistic aspect that counts ! And not the nationality... Back to the track:
The relation is there. Great choice of lyrics ! And they are perfectly implemented.
The original theme is very accurate recreated. If i hear those caribbean, i feel like in old times. For me this song really transports the retro-feeling. "Nostalgika in perfecta !"
The mixing coulndn´t be better...the percussions, pads...simply everything is in it´s right velocity ! Something i still try to get right ;)
But ! ... No Gem without a scratch ... it´s way too short :P - But this (personal) feeling don´t drive the rating down for me.
All three criterias are fulfilled and needs to have the tomato-face ^^
