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.

The Dance Album. It's official. If you like dance, and you're reading this page, you'll love this. And if you don't like dance, well, you might love this anyway. It's that good. Highlights include the I never knew it was so good
covers of Last Ninja Palace
and Game On
, and an inspired re-rework of Comic Bakery. Pristine versions of Instant Remedy's most popular earlier remixes are included too. As played at parties across Europe! ** Now with a complete album FLAC download provided by C64Audio friend Daniel Martinsson! **
Angel (Merry X-Max)Arranged by Lagerfeldt
After a mellow beginning (lullaby-style with breakbeats and female voice) it turns to an explosion of filtered and voluminous synthsounds and a stomping beat, that your feet can't stop tapping. A drumkitbridge (Safri Duo-like) in the middlepart moves over to the final refrain-lap and leads out with a few seconds of the original sid. Ok, the main melody is repeating through the whole song, but it's going over to the listeners blood (like eric prydz' call on me)! If you don't like it the first time listening, give it a try, loop the song and hear it twice or more times in one piece. Maybe the Angel-virus will get u too (hey, do you already whistle the melody?)!?!
The overall impression ist superb, technically and artistic perfect, just a grey one for the nostalgic impression, but that would be hard to realize, if you heard the original song, that turns part away from the main start - so no full score.
One word: I'm just a newbie in here, this is my first review, but i think we've to put lagerfeldt on a higher socket soon. What he did and does for our (still) more or less small scene compared to others ist outstanding! Supporting sites, doing remixes and reviews at the remix64 and the Lemon-sites. My biggest repects for a guy who is a professional musicproducer (dozens of gold and platin records) but still having much fun going back to his roots… Holger, keep up your exemplary and great work, we can't await your next remix! You should contact Danko/Decoder to release a single of Angel! SIR Holger Lagerfeldt - even outstanding!
