M1x3d Up
by Instant Remedy
The album is more of an extended EP
and not a full album since it only has 8 tracks. Some of the tracks are old remixes which never made it to commercial platforms but by working out the copyright stuff and remastering them now have found a way to your favorite streaming service. 4 of the tracks are original compositions I made some years ago which I remixed/remastered to make them fit your ears better. Although the styles of the tracks are a bit m1x3d (hence the album name), the primary direction of the sound is a classic 90’s dance style with SID sounds and crispy arp chords – the classic IR sound. This is what I think most fans will appreciate.
Magic Afternoon (instrumental)
Arranged by Ic3m4n
It all started some month ago when looking for vintage computer game related music (originals and remixes as well) for playing them at Retro Games eV. In Karlsruhe, Germany. A good friend of mine just brought an extra CD… and this very version of Magic Afternoon was there. At first I just ignored the (for me) unknown title. It was after some weekends that it accidentally got live while I was attending some customers…
… that was amazing! Some people stopped playing at the arcade machines and pinballs just for asking what the name of the tune was, or for some that were more savvy than me, for asking which interpreter did that version of Magic Afternoon
Huh? Dunno…
This interpretation just fixed my attention making me getting curious for hearing at the original version, and after doing so I was more that thrilled when realizing how amazingly well this remix version was
planed and performed.
Beautiful
Praise:
It respects the essence of the original. The most important point for me.
It's spacy (is this the correct term?), I love that.
The tune is clean and consistent, well balanced, but… (see below)
The selection of instruments is almost flawless.
Introduces some subtle improvements and variances compared to the original.
The drums are just perfect
Critic:
The lead Xilophone/Arpeggiator is a little bit shrill and loud, specially at the higher pitches.
The lead Synth could be a little less… hmmm… acid?
Bass and Base-Pad (Specially the bass) could be a little bit more present, but maybe this is just due to the dominating lead Xilo and Synth.
All in all. One of my all time favorites in my retro music collection.
I give it the best note.
And thank to the interpreter for sharing!
