 Tusker - Finale
Arranged by FeekZoid It's pretty amazing that,so many years after Commodore era,a tune, based on the good old sid synthesizer, can create such a magic and mystical atmosphere! You can close your eyes and travel in outerspace! It is something that i never heard before: a superb binding of jungle sounds,sid bass, and modern synth sounds.I especially liked the short bell melody at the ending of the tune.Followed by the short 'rock like' ending made me feel a sweet nostalgia of the legendary pioneers of home computers,C64 and AMIGA the best computers ever made!!

Magic Afternoon (instrumental)
Arranged by Ic3m4n I have to admit it, this is the first time ever that I hear *any* version of “Magic afternoon”. It all started some month ago when looking for vintage computer game related music (originals and remixes as well) for playing them at Retro Games eV. In Karlsruhe, Germany. A good friend of mine just brought an extra CD... and this very version of Magic Afternoon was there. At first I just ignored the (for me) unknown title. It was after some weekends that it accidentally got “live” while I was attending some customers... … that was amazing! Some people stopped playing at the arcade machines and pinballs just for asking what the name of the tune was, or for some that were more savvy than me, for asking which interpreter did that version of “Magic Afternoon” Huh? Dunno... This interpretation just fixed my attention making me getting curious for hearing at the original version, and after doing so I was more that thrilled when realizing how amazingly well this remix version was planed and performed. Beautiful Praise:
I give it the best note. And thank to the interpreter for sharing!

Remix64by Various ArtistsRemix64 is a CD with a unique concept: how would 80s stars interpret Commodore 64 remixes? Since they weren't particularly interested in telling us, some of the brightest talents in the remix scene were used to imagine. 80s lives! This CD also showcases the talents of the prolific David Whittaker. Highlights include incredibly uplifting versions of Whittaker's Glider Rider and Storm, an incredible Depeche-Mode-does-Nemesis from Wobbler and LMan, two Ocean Loaders from Jarre's unacknowledged lost son Marcel Donné, and a sensitive and poetic Art of Noise soundscape from Thomas Detert, covering his own ironically named C64 tune "Hyper Aggressive" The 80s live! Long live the 80s!
