REVIEW BY beldin (15/03/2003)

Compared with previous remixes of the Wizball high-score theme, I think this is a better one. As the sub-title might suggest already, this arrangement is based on SID-like sounds (except for drums and percussions, of course, but including arpeggio in the background) and also is a direct cover-version. The chosen instrumentation is pretty obvious and well-balanced and doesn't attempt on using any experimental and questionable instruments. I don't think I have tried hard to find any flaws. The remix just works fine the way it was set up. Thumbs up.

REVIEW BY Tas (16/03/2003)

This remix is very faithful to the original, i wouldn't actually call this a remix or even a cover, it's more of an enhancement to the sid with it being so very much like the original in sound.

Trace here has really just given the original work a smoother and more harmonious feel and has faithfully replicated the sounds and instruments of the original. The tune is not a mind blower, but it's one of those tunes that feels right. nice work trace.

REVIEW BY LaLa (04/04/2003)

Dreamy, electronic, fantasy-land-like. These are the words the came to my mind
when listening to this remix. But it's not ambient, it's more like something
from a fairy-tale that makes children smile. I think the arpeggios and the
bass feel a little out of place and the drums could use more reverb, but it's
quite good already as it is.

REVIEW BY eliot (20/03/2003)

It's defintifly a remix even when titled as "cover" :-) The drums kicks my head using my headphones... It's quite nice done, nothing special, but not a kicking tune I will listen more often.

omoroca shouts: Always good to have another Wizball Highscore remix! This one catches the Bossa Nova groove of the original quite well. Added to my collection.
