Matt Gray: LN2 (R5) Now Available for Pre-Order

album from Matt Gray is now available for pre-order at Bandcamp. Four tracks can be streamed today and the complete album is slated to be released on December 24, 2026.
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.

Cinematic 64
by Slaygon
Slaygon: An attempt to create a cinematic soundscape that I would enjoy hearing on a somewhat dark type of movie. Perhaps that would tickle your ears too.
The title of the songs tells it, or rather wants you to imagine it, while the songs themselves explain the feeling in that part of the story I felt while imagining it. In short, this is the story I had in my head while making these:
ARRIVAL (Driller) - The arrival of them seemed grandiose and somewhat of a hopeful idea at first, but very soon there were doubts.
THE FIGHT (Rambo) - The obviously good things they claimed they came offering started cracking under any sort of scrutiny, but we are gullible people. The call for a fight against this tyranny begins here. Call to arms as it were. We have a few encounters with the Arrivals, most of which end badly. We are still united and will not stand for this.
AFTERMATH (Deliverance) - The first major attempts at rising up against the Arrivals has failed, and we have massive losses on a planetary scale. It all went so quick. No communication with other parts of the world. At most, your locals that have HAM radios. We thought they were here to save us, embraced them. How could we have let this happen? Our children are dead in the streets now. The pain screams through the night, while our haunted minds recall our loved ones.
THE DARK DAYS (Aztec Challenge) - We see how The Arrivals have devastated everything. We organize. We find pockets of resistance. We will fight with everything we have. We find our strength in the dark recesses of our minds. We organize and attack everything we can, as long as it makes them pay for our losses. Sometimes chaotic, every so often organized and devastating.
THE LOSS (Opus II) - We organized and attacked. We failed. We had everything going for us, yet were out manned, outgunned and then overrun. We lost so many. All now seems pointless and a lost cause. But because we are humans, we do not lose hope. We strive for hope. We fight. Forever. Even in the face of total devastation, our world falling apart, we go forward.
THE MANTRA (Mutants) - We have stopped imagining ourselves as anything other than entities taking revenge. We now live and breathe the mantra that is easily conveyed by simple ostinato's that translates to I will kill you
and I will take revenge
and variations thereof. There is a re-ignition of fighting spirit among the remaining populous after a horrendous act by the opposition.
THE CHASE (Knucklebusters) - The tables have now turned. WE FOUND YOU BASTARDS. We are coming for you with all we got. We throw everything in there, all be damned. We have had enough of all of this! We have now retaken control in most places! We are now at your tail, we will throw everything we have at you to make you go away!
Ballblazer (feat. Beastie Boys)
Arranged by Romeo Knight
I'm no Beastie Boys fan, but I still rate this track highly anyway, partly because it's clearly a decent production, partly because it just sounds good, and partly because this is the direction C64 remixes really need to be going in for the scene to have a future - actual songs, not just SID X the orchestral version, SID X the rock version, SID X the take the MIDI and assign some fairly random instruments to it version.
Good stuff, Romeo Knight. More, please.
