Markus Siebold 1969-2026
We have just learned that Markus Siebold — musician, SID composer, and remixer — has recently passed away at the age of 57. He is best known for creating music for the game Turrican II: The Final Fight on the C64, alongside numerous other SID tunes throughout the late 80s and early 90s. Over the years, he shared his own remakes of that iconic soundtrack here on Remix64, along with several other remixes. We are deeply saddened by his loss and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family, to his friends, and to everyone touched by his life and his music.

Matt Gray: Green Beret Main Theme (R5 Version)
Another track from Matt Gray's Reformation 5 dropped today:
Matt Gray: This time it's one of the remakes for the main R5 album and an all time favourite C64 tune Green Beret Title/Main Theme by the maestro Martin Galway. I must have re started on this track half a dozen times over the last couple of years and I finally found a blend of SID elements and new parts that I really like.
I can still remember the Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1986 that I bought this game and rushed home to load it up and check out what Mr G had conjured up. The loading music was excellent but this title theme blew me away at the time.
Hopefully you all feel much the same when you hear this new version.

Looking for something new and a bit different?
Looking for some remix variety?
Well then, this might be an album for you!
This is a remix album featuring a select set of Commodore 64 demoscene tunes.
However, you won't find any game music remixes or commercial music covers in here, nor will you find music by any famous composers and/or famous C64 demosceners since this remix album is dedicated to the lesser known
and focuses strictly on non-commercial original SID tunes which (as far as I know, and at the time this album was put together) haven't been remixed before.
There's so much talent and so much cool SID music out there! ?
Same as with the original tunes, the style, tempo, and mood of the remixes vary - which is why the tracklist conveniently lists them from lighter to darker sounding, although this album stays within the electronic music genre since there are no orchestral or acoustic type remixes, and while certain creative liberties were taken during the remixing process in order to beef up the sound and produce a track that's at least 3 minutes long, melodic additions and other noodlings were deliberately kept to a minimum since I didn't want to dilute the original tunes too much.
And yes, this is a totally free digital album!
It can easily be downloaded from either Bandcamp or my Google Drive.
Enjoy the music!

THIS IS A TOTALLY FREE DOWNLOAD (AS LONG AS THE FREEBIE SLOTS LAST - BANDCAMP'S LIMITATIONS, NOT MINE).
IF THE SLOTS HAVE RUN OUT, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS ALBUM FROM HERE: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GL3Kokw2v6Q-0mW903SnVtoXGJoXyV_6?usp=sharing
