Markus Siebold 1969-2026

26/09/2026

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)

19/09/2026

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.

Last Ninja Musicology - Live From The Dungeons

by FastLoaders

Sat. 15th October 2016: FastLoaders and Ben Daglish gave a legendary concert of music from The Last Ninja™ series of games at the Underworld club in London.

It was a memorable, emotional evening for everyone there. Tears were shed, dreams were made. The audience was thrilled!

Now you can own the concert forever!

The audio from the concert was multi-track recorded and is being mixed for this Blu-Ray by Alexa Argento and Jarle H. Olsen. The video was professionally recorded in glorious HD by Chris Burton, a cameraman with nearly 20 years experience.

What you have here is a prototype for an amazing live performance. Fantastic arrangement, hitting the right notes and vowels in the right spots. Amazing.

 Zoids

Arranged by o2

Well, well, this is not exactly how I always imagined this track, in fact, this is totally opposite of that - but it's f*ing awesome! Okay, okay, I admit: the reason I like this cover is because it sounds so much like one of my favorite composers, Jarre. 😊 No, seriously, this cover is a perfect example that we are all different (thank God!), and that two people can interpret the same SID in entirely different ways. And on top if it, it's very well done, too. Sounds like something right out of Oxygene (or O2 - get it?) or other early Jarre albums. Who would've thunk that Zoids could've been composed by JMJ?… … I am impressed! (Maybe I should play a little prank on the people of the Jarre mailing list and present this track to them as a recently unearthed, so far unreleased early Jarre composition.😉

Not Bad (I see the same people give this remixer a red vote no matter what the quality, I hate it when people abuse the voting system, why not just be honest?)
