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.

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.

Comic Bakery (feat Hanna Kappelin & Morpheus)
Arranged by o2
The vocals fits SO well to the arrangement which is solid and very well done. Everything feels so complete in to every detail. Good thing making the remix a non-dance version too, which O2 don't usually do anyway.
It's not so Jarre-ish as I expected at first, maybe because of the vocals. There are of course some classic Jarre/O2 sounds, but I feel the tune takes Jarre closer to O2 rather than taking O2 closer to Jarre which makes for a perfect blend.
I don't know if there is any reason for me to say anything about every little detail that is good, noone would bother to read this review to the end…
Now there is no doubt that Comic Bakey is my all time fave of SIDs.
I've listened to this remix at least 15 times and if I'm not listening to it, I'm humming it silently til my throat hurts.
