Cybernoid II (80's-Style-Edit) - arranged by C64toBit64

Review by stell, 05/01/2011

What the hell happened to the melody? This is no remix It's just some very bad synth tune called Cybernoid II.

Lightforce 2004 - arranged by Darren Lambourne

Review by stell, 17/08/2005

Oh my God! It's drop-dead gorgeous! This is shure a Remix, but i would rather call it "The Lightforce Mass". Maybe the best Remix i've heard so far. Just listen from 2:48 till… ugh, just listen! The violins are giving me the creeps! Perfect!

Katakis Trance Mix 2K4 - arranged by Awesome-A

Review by stell, 17/08/2005

There is sadly no Katakis remix out there i really like. So its a nice suprise listening to Awesome-As Remix. The Beginning and the End End are very well done. The main Part is most of the time a little bit 80s Pre-Techno-Pop. But you just have to jump to 2:02 and you are rewarded for your (not existing) patience. There starts one of my favourite Katakis melodies and it is arranged like Chris himself would loved it! Great Stuff on this Part! Besides that nice work.

Cybernoid 2 (Pede Cyber Mix) - arranged by DHS

Review by stell, 03/08/2005

This is what i call an uninspired remix. Choosing the Piano for the main Melody was a big Mistake. The almighty MoN Sound in a Olive-Dance Version? Come on, just uninspired.

Thundercats (Nervous Gattuso Edit) - arranged by N-JOY

Review by stell, 03/08/2005

It's a completely waste of time. Why are people putting so much time in creating a tune which sounds like the Ultra-Mainstream-Teckno-Chart-S… tuff!? It's a pain in the arse.

Thundercats - arranged by Sonic Wanderer

Review by stell, 03/08/2005

Hey, it's Thundercats! Great! Well the Beginnig is great. I absolutely love the kettle drums and the start of the track punctuating the "Ooooooo" Chorus. Then the Synthi-Style takes over, which is also fine, but at 1:10 there is this wired whistle thing and the main melody starts… mmpf. I like Erasure, but not in a Thundercats Remix. Softspeech, why not, but please no ABBA chords. 2:25! What's going on?? I'm leaving… going back to the first minute.

Lightforce (Original Minimal Mix) - arranged by DJ Mitch

Review by stell, 03/08/2005

Why not? The drums are kicking like hell! Just the main track melody is quite… flashy. The other instruments are well choosen, not the best ones, but well arranged. The Pace is based on the original and did i say the drums are great?

Flashback - arranged by DeAdLy_cOoKiE

Review by stell, 03/08/2005

Nope. The Original was REALLY impressive. This one is just a poor copy. Listen to Lambournes Lightforce too get a glimpse of how orchestral arragements are done. Get the MOD and compare. What a pity!

Parallax (4 A Leone Western Mix) - arranged by MistaDistah

Review by stell, 01/08/2005

It's a good one. This fits good between my favorites from Allister Brimble and Darren Lambourne. No disco stuff, no fancy teckno beats, no freaking moby loops - just cool ambience. The main melody instrument is quiet unobtrusive, but why not. We all know and love the melody. Ok, the ending is wired.
