Actually I 've had an orchestral Nemesis the Warlock on the way for years. I was actually working on it for fun, when something just snapped in my head and things begun sounding.... different. It started with a Romeo and Juliet (classical piece - sanxion, remember?) kind of remake, but ended up this. All fake instruments, no real players were harmed. Could use better mixing also.

LMan shouts: Where'd he get that Big Band? Genious.
kwed shouts: One word: "Whoa!"
Tas shouts: Wonderfully original!
Makke shouts: This is nothing short of pure genius! I've been wanting to make this kind of remix for ages, now I don't have to. Mixer beat me to it, and did it a whole lot better than I ever could! Brilliant!
Waz shouts: Seems to me that many of the remixers who started life as SID composers do the best remixes. Here is another case in point. This not only is a different take, but it sounds fantastic the way it's done. A contender for best remix of 2006. Listen. Now.
Chris Abbott shouts: For me, easier to admire than love. I wonder what a big band fanatic who knew nothing about C64s would think...?
Ziphoid shouts: Pure aural pleasure treatment that easily leads up to an exstatic eargasm galore... Top notch! Not my cup of tea, but it's just TOO good to NOT put a red on this one.
Dan shouts: Fantastically original, I want this one performed live!
Skitz shouts: I agree this is such a lovely remix and excellently produced. However, the fake sax just ruins it slightly for me..
Analog-X64 shouts: Awesome!!! The Sax, the Brushed drum sounds.... Very Live sounding like I'm at a Jazz Club!! Sweet!!
romeo_knight shouts: It's really great (especially the spatial atmosphere) but misses some highlights. And I have to agree with Skitz a bit.
dimmignatt shouts: Really great work on this one!! The bad mixing you talk about only gives it somewhat more of a realistic and Live-ish feel to the song!! Great work
chilli_uk shouts: Sounds like the Pink Panther - but STUNNING - yes the mixing problems make it sound live and perhaps this only enhances. It gets top marks for ORIGINALITY - and it is a class tune.
klosterkatten shouts: Awesome tune, I love every bit of it!
zyron shouts: I love everything except that saxophone-sound which I find quite annoying & misplaced. A flute could have worked better.
vosla shouts: Very LIVE feeling. Very different take on ol' Nemesis. Love it!
maindrian shouts: I should be sitting in a french cafe by a river, smoking cigarettes in black and white when listening to this. Very noir, but oddly magical in places too.
condor shouts: Hah, I just wanted to say that intro really remindes me to Sergei Prokofiev's Montagues & Capulets... Then I saw your comment :) Excellent in every point. But, it would have been so much better if it was darker (just like prokofiev's piece).
exo shouts: Original and well done. Although I can't quite enjoy the soundscape here. Not something you hear everyday on kwed.:)
jemym shouts: This is one of the more original remixes I heard for awhile, just great :D
infamous shouts: Wtf's going on here? Absolutely BRILLIANT it sounds like a real band.. There are no words do describe how awe inspiring this is.
dafunk shouts: It's so easy, magical and all with fake instruments? Mixer, you're a genious muvvafokker!
cinemaniac shouts: Now this is the sort of music that I always long to hear. I've heard several hundreds of remixes and this one is the best there is! No kidding, this one plain rocks!
radulescu shouts: Superb, very creative take on this beloved tune!
bizarro shouts: I love the authentic feel of the drums - but unfortunately the sax....
k_rostoen shouts: Very, very good. Now go ask Shirley Bassey and Leonard Cohen if they would do a duet to it.
dumper shouts: Wow, everything just blends together beautifully. Great work Mixer.
komet shouts: Very original approach and a nice jazz bar feel! My only objection is that it gets a bit repetitive.
eliot shouts: Must agree the sax ruins an outstanding contribution....
devilhood shouts: This is great, and I want to love it more, but it just SO needs a live sax to make it the most gorgeous remix ever. Perhaps notate the arrangement and get a live band to play it! That would be simply magical and something you should definately consider.
bexs_79 shouts: Very good arr, very good samples except saxophone
ifadeo shouts: Just outstanding!
snorski shouts: Sweet....
crik shouts: Not so good swing for idea and fake sax
g3r shouts: Arrangment, production is brilliant. Why's everyone complainig about the sax? This is not my cup of tea at all though.
c64glen shouts: Hubbard's dark epic, made jolly with an awful sax.
thepiano shouts: Too much noise, reverber and fake orchestra
firefox shouts: Love the production. A bit dirty and smoky jazz club feeling. WOOt!
zine shouts: Good stuff but not exceptional
omoroca shouts: "Good" for the abient swing sounds, but "Poor" for the lead sounds - all of them! Makes an average of "Average".;-)
LaLa shouts: Great jazzy arrangement, but that sax - I find it nauseating. It's just too fake, too over-the-top, too much. I have no problems with the rest, though.
soppa shouts: Although the sax sample does really sound awkward at times, this tune still captures that smoky jazz club feeling which I like, like someone mentioned would be one of the best if was redone with real lead instruments.
damien shouts: Mmh, there's something in it that does not make me want to listen to it again, still would have made the Grim Fandango soundtrack easily :)
sebuko shouts: Well, nice try. But where is the sid feeling in that song? Overall nice work. But the Sax sounds very fake to me and doesn´t fit very well.
KarmaSlave shouts: O_O... This game, and this song, gave me nightmares and fear of death when I was a child. This song makes all those nasty monsters all cuddly for me! Genious!
anaconda shouts: Pure Quality from Mixer.
