I don't know about you, but I think the Odyssey background music beats anything that has ever been heard on an Amiga. Greg of Alcatraz has really outdone himself here, creating seven addictive masterpieces.

This, of course, creates quite a problem for a remixer: How do you remix a piece of music that is absolutely perfect the way it is? Even the slightest change means almost inevitably a loss of quality.

So, after years (really!) of hesitating to put my hands on this music, I decieded the only way to go was to stick close to the original while improving the techniqal quality (okay, the Amiga rocks when it comes to sound but qith today's technology, things still can be made much better), adding a few things here and there and keeping the re-arranging on a low level.

I still felt the way that Peter Jackson must have felt when  he decided to film "Lord of the Rings" :-)

I picked my personal favourite songs of Odyssey (2 and 4) for my remix.

Song was arranged, recorded and played on a Korg X3 workstation with additional use of the Kristal Audio sequencer. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy it!

Makke shouts: The sound is very mid-90s, and lacks a bit of punch. However, the arrangement is really great imo, which gives the over all impression of the tune a good nudge up.
firefox shouts: This remix has more to give in mixing IMO. Otherwise good work and what makke said.
floaf shouts: The first half sounds a little bit dull to me but the second half is just GREAT!:-)
Dr Future shouts: Really like it. Carefully done remix. Enjoyable!
paralax shouts: A little low volume, otherwise good.
XxDUSTYxX shouts: Very good interpretation!
Caboose shouts: It's quite good once it FINALLY kicks in :P
prowler shouts: Nice piece. Understand you put a careful hand on this remix, but too careful imo. The soundpicture is just too weak for my taste...
