The Kickstarter campaign of Wings of Death - Reworked Anthology
by the German Remix Group is live as of today and is accepting pledges, with €1287 of the original €6500 goal already pledged with 29 days still to go. As a reminder, the finished product will be available not only as a digital download, but also on physical media: as a double CD, and as a limited-edition Best of

Matt Gray: Central Park Main Theme (LN2) (R5 Version)
The second album from Matt Gray's Reformation 5
project is most definitely in the works as evidenced by another track he posted from the upcoming Last Ninja 2
album. Earlier this year we got a single featuring the main theme from The Sewers level, and today we got a single with Central Park Main Theme.
A Quick Q&A with the German Remix Group
The German Remix Group (GRG) has recently announced that on April 22nd, 2026 they will launch a Kickstarter campaign for the creation of a physical album dedicated to Jochen Hippel's soundtrack of the Amiga game 'Wings of Death'. Although this group has been publishing remix albums since 2012 - all of which have been available for free on their website - not everybody may be familiar with them, so I thought I would make them sit down and answer a few questions to introduce themselves and their new campaign to the readers of Remix64.com. You can read my interview with them at the link below.

Last Ninja Musicology
by FastLoaders
Enjoy amazing Rock versions of the complete soundtracks for Last Ninja®, Last Ninja 2™ and Last Ninja 3™.
The release of System 3's The Last Ninja®
was a seminal moment in the lives of many game players in 1987, as were the releases of it's even-more-successful sequel Last Ninja 2™
and later Last Ninja 3™
.
All the tunes from the C64 trilogy are here, given their own disk, and done in an entirely consistent style.
If you're even a fan of just one of the games, you deserve this in your collection while it exists.
About this product: many players totally fell in love with the music for all of the games composed by Ben Daglish, Anthony Lees, Matt Gray and Reyn Ouwehand. One of these was Norwegian fan Jarle H. Olsen. Through his life, his love for these games carried. He carried the love through his life until he could finally grab some friends and record the whole amazing C64 trilogy in one amazing metal/rock tribute.
Arranged by Thomas Bendt
The genius of this orchestral arrangement is that it sounds incredibly natural. As in, sure, this sounds exactly how Ghouls'n Ghosts should sound like - how else would this SID tune be arranged for an orchestra? EXACTLY! Achieving that kind of spontaneity with a full orchestral arrangement takes talent - and I'm sure a lot of practice, too. Thomas obviously has both in spades.
I will make the inevitable comparison to the version heard on the 8-bit Symphony album, which is another fantastic arrangement of this tune and has its own charm. But Thomas obviously had access to a wider range of sample libraries here than what the Czech Studio Orchestra could provide on that album, so he was able to make this tune sound fuller and more complex.
Again, I cannot stress how incredibly well-arranged and well-orchestrated this remix is. I really, really enjoy it!

Dune intro remixArranged by AmiGamer
There's something I'm not really okay with though, and it's the many times you repeat each section. It gets to be a little repetitive.
