Matt Gray: Green Beret Main Theme (R5 Version)
Another track from Matt Gray's Reformation 5 dropped today:
Matt Gray: This time it's one of the remakes for the main R5 album and an all time favourite C64 tune Green Beret Title/Main Theme by the maestro Martin Galway. I must have re started on this track half a dozen times over the last couple of years and I finally found a blend of SID elements and new parts that I really like.
I can still remember the Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1986 that I bought this game and rushed home to load it up and check out what Mr G had conjured up. The loading music was excellent but this title theme blew me away at the time.
Hopefully you all feel much the same when you hear this new version.

Falcon Patrol II orchestra version
Arranged by Nadin0xD400
I always loved the weird sound of the C64, but now a familiar tune in such a great arrangement - well, that's fantastic. Nadin has a great sense of the possibilities and the end result is really enjoyable!

JimPower - Theme + Level 1 - ToxicRmx
Arranged by Zzr
It seems to me that Zzr put a LOT of work into this tune. There are quite a lot of variations and diffrent parts. This leads to what I like:
I like:
-There's quite a lot of variety, the tune stays interesting
-also an interesting remix style, quite unusual
-I like the chosen sounds and instruments, they fit to each other
-The two covered songs are well combined into this remix
I don't like:
-the interpretation of the melody from 0:31 to 0:51 is not my cup of tea, it's a little too weird for me, would have been better to have it done like the part starting at 1:23
- the part from 3:40 to 5:10 is the weakest part of the remix. It's too long. Although there are variations of the beat within, the rythm melody stays almost the same for over a minute.
Technical impression: The diffrent parts are combined very well. Breaks fit where they are. When it comes to mixing I'm no expert. But for me it sounds well and very dynamic.
Artistic impression: Zzr knows his buisness. Well chosen sounds and much variety. Normally I don't like break beats, but for this tune I do.
A slight minus for the part from 3:40 to 5:10.
Nostalgic impression: Hmm, thats difficult. The themes from the covered tunes are recognizeable. But this remix doesn't stay true much to the originals. Therefore the nostalgic value is quite low.
But good new ideas are not a bad thing for sure. So the nostalgic impression is not very important in this case.
Overall I think this is a good, well done remix although a bit unusual
but that makes it interesting. I like to listen to it, and thats the main point to me. It's worth listening. Give it a try.
Just download it and judge yourself.
