The Demoscenic Route - A C64 & Amiga Remix Album.
Oh look - it's another remix album!
This time, I'm happy to present ten remixes originating from both the Commodore 64 and the Amiga demoscene! Woot! 😃
However, since this remix album is dedicated to the demoscene, you won't find any game music remixes or commercial music covers in here. All the remixes are (as far as I know) based on strictly non-commercial original tunes from demos, intros, cracktros, etc.
The focus is less common and/or lesser known tunes, the music styles vary somewhat but remain in the electronic music genre, and the overall mood of this album ranges from mellow to upbeat bouncy, whereas a minimal amount of creative liberties were taken during the remixing process since I mainly wanted to upscale and extend the original music.
Also worth mentioning is that the first half of the album (tracks 1 to 5) is all C64 remixes, while the second half (tracks 6 to 10) is all Amiga remixes.
And yes, this is a totally free digital album!
It can easily be downloaded from the links below.
Enjoy!

Matt Gray: LN2 (R5) Now Available for Pre-Order

album from Matt Gray is now available for pre-order at Bandcamp. Four tracks can be streamed today and the complete album is slated to be released on December 24, 2026.
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.

Remixes Volume 2
by Mordi
Harlequin - TVee Wonderland (ingame tune 5)
Arranged by Rapture
This remix succeeds in absolutely every respect. Indeed, it's no exaggeration to say that it's one of my favourite pieces of music of any kind in the world ever.
Not only does it capture perfectly the electrifying mood of the original TVee Wonderland theme (somehow managing to be hair-raisingly eerie and playfully energetic at the same time), not only does it expand upon the original with exceptional verve and creativity (introducing an array of beautiful new harmonies, counter-melodies and other splendidly atmospheric flourishes), but it even manages to tell a story that fits in perfectly with the part of the game where this particular theme first turns up, via some positively spiffing sound design. The level of Harlequin that gives this track its name is one of the most original and gleefully sinister environments ever to appear in a platformer. The hero of the piece finds himself inside a gigantic, haunted television showroom where every single TV set is broken, and the player is tasked with guiding him past an array of electricity-themed enemies and traps. As such, the intro to this remix could scarcely be more perfect as we hear a television turn on by itself and start searching through the static for a clear transmission, eventually settling upon a channel where the MOD version of the tune can briefly be heard before the updated version zaps into life. (An especially pleasing touch – among the garbled snatches of other programmes we can clearly hear excerpts from the theme tunes of Gamesmaster and Bad! Influence, both of which first came to the screen in the year of Harlequin's release.) The various other crackles, sparks and fizzes that crop up throughout the rest of the track add greatly to the spookily mysterious vibe of the whole thing without ever being intrusive, and the conclusion as the static returns and the misfiring TV finally shuts itself off is the perfect coda to the whole experience.
I utterly, wholeheartedly love this remix. As you may possibly have gathered.

Arranged by Tim Forsyth
Then I randomly stumbled upon this remix. It sounded good, so I downloaded it… and ended up listening to it on repeat hundreds of times.
Today, I thought to myself,
Wait a minute… did this game actually have some good music?So I fired up YouTube to give the soundtrack a proper listen…
But where the hell is that track?!
Oh, it's the ending credits theme… Okay… Well then… Alright, Chris's original version is good. But you turned it into something truly exceptional. Congrats
