Markus Siebold 1969-2026
We have just learned that Markus Siebold — musician, SID composer, and remixer — has recently passed away at the age of 57. He is best known for creating music for the game Turrican II: The Final Fight on the C64, alongside numerous other SID tunes throughout the late 80s and early 90s. Over the years, he shared his own remakes of that iconic soundtrack here on Remix64, along with several other remixes. We are deeply saddened by his loss and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family, to his friends, and to everyone touched by his life and his music.
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.

Matt Gray: Central Park Loading Theme (R5 Version)
Posted by Matt Gray today for his Kickstarter backers:
Some good news in this update as I have another finished Last Ninja 2 R5 track for you to hear and it's my new version of Central Park Loading Theme.
I've put it up on Bandcamp where you can listen or download and hopefully the rest of the LN2 R5 album won't be too far away.

by Nepawaganza
In short, Nepawaganza is a live C64 game music duo.
We have a strong emphasis on C64 game music classics. Due to large number of existing remixes we wanted to take 'the live music approach'. The full CD has 11 songs.

Turbo Outrun - Intro [s2] (dnb mix)
Arranged by LPChip
Cutting up and rearranging the original SID, plus adding a few more instruments to it to enhance it - great idea! But I guess I expected more to come out of this. Repeating the intro bars ad infinitum makes this tiring to listen to. It gets more interesting in the middle, but that's more thanks to Jeroen's genius than anything else.
I think, LPChip, you fell in love with your own idea a bit too much, and forgot to give it more polish.
