Commodore Remix

Driller could use a good remix, in the style of the Delta Space Grind remix by Gustav Taxen.

I feel the remix on the Back in Time 2 CD is hard to beat - nice industrial percussion, and all of the tune is covered.

Perhaps someone could have a go at "Dark Side" or "Total Eclipse"?

I am remixing Dark Side right now actually although it probably won't be in the same style of Taxen's 'Delta'... It will probably end up much more dark and either harder or softer... I am not sure exactly where it's going right now

I guess I don't have that remix; I do have a couple of them but one is quite electronic yet covers little of the song and the other is quite orchestral yet uses not that good instruments - it sounds good but could be done better, its close to the XG prototype remix subgenre. I think Gustav's remix of Delta has a cool style that might be useful in such an electronic remix, however an orchestral one could be equally good and more in line with the spirit of the original, so I guess I might order the CD.

Wrt. Total Eclipse - I'd forgotten about that although I did play it a lot .. the song was pretty good if I remember right, so a remix of that would be cool. And of course, somewhat in that genre, Castle master.

Dark Side and Driller had the best music IMO, but Total Eclipse had a great sense of atmosphere - playing off the "Indiana Jones" films.

So, are you going to release a Freescape CD?

From which one do you speak ?

Ahhh, i see ! Dark Side is also in Hagar's directory ...

I do not remix, less so do I release CDs; I may remix one of the legendary SIDs in the future though; the community has given so much, so.

I know it's a reply to a really old thread but I'm in the process of remixing Wally's Total Eclipse been chipping away at it since May 2014. I have the instruments and the ideas, I'm just transcribing the music but it's slow going as I have other projects that keep cropping up. Hopefully it will see a release sometime this year....The question is do I release it on the Amiga remix site or the RKO site?

Why not both?

The STIL doesn't mention whether one version came before the other, so for all we know Wally Beben did both at the same time.

I concur with Chris - no problem in submitting to both AR and RKO.

Thanks for the info will do that.

*Update*
Work on the remix has now resumed and all is going as planned. It's a long one though - clocking in at nearly 10 minutes.
Will probably submit a version to RKO and an extended mix for Amiga Remix.
Later
