Matt Gray: LN2 (R5) Now Available for Pre-Order
In case you missed the Kickstarter, the Last Ninja 2 (Reformation 5)
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.

Extra info:
Beginning (Let There Be Light)
Original by Jeroen Tel.
I have remixed this one before but I was playing with the idea of lowering the BPM a bit and see what happened. This did…?
Bombo (Break The Beat)
Original by Ben Daglish.
One of the remixes I started on last year.. A work in progress was played in one of Boz's shows on Slayradio a while back.. The style of this song is typical Hazel breakbeat style.. ?
Captain America (The Birth Of A Hero)
Original by Anthony Lees.
Strange one to remix… I always believed this would be a kickass tune.. But I have apparently only heard the first part of this song in the past.. When I recently listened to it I really didn't like the last part of the original… Sorry.. So.. I've kind of concentrated on the stuff I liked about the song..
Aztec Challenge (The Angry Gods)
Original by Paul Norman.
Ohh yes… This tune was very catchy back in the good old days.. And I've never forgotten about it.. Although I've tried my best to make a good remix I still think that the original C64 tune is the best version..
Synth Sample 3 (Alternate Reality)
Original by Rob Hubbard.
Hmm.. I've recently found out that Rob actually did this one as a cover from Human League (I have never heard their version, though).
I only remember this tune from the intro by the German Crackers group called Dynamic Duo (They were amongst my favorite groups back then..)
This version is slightly different from the one on KWED.
A new mid-section and the end has been improved
.
Jinks
Original by Chris Hüelsbeck.
I don't remember the game but I certainly remembered the music.. It was also kind of cool back then because Chris used samples in his tunes.. Not something which was that common on the C64..
Pandora (Aliens Ate My Brain)
Original by Rob Hubbard.
Oh no.. We have reached the weird part of this album. This remix is probably the most sick & twisted remix I've done so far.. ? So, if you think something is wrong with your stereo-equipment. Don't worry. Everything is fine.?
I've later found out that this song was a cover from one of tunes in the movie called Dune
.
Kaos (Final Edition)
Original by Markus Schneider.
I remember the first time I heard this music in a demo on the C64. I can't remember who made the demo but it included a little stick-man running around. The original tune was damn catchy and it has been flying around in my brain ever since..
This version is much different from the one on KWED. I've tried and optimize it since.. And this will be my final version of this tune.. So… Dr-Duke There will not be a Final Final Edition)…?
Hades Nebula (Race For The Moon)
Original by Ben Daglish.
The main theme from this great game… Great game & music. Not something you see very often..
If you're wondering about those annoying apollo samples I've used it's because I wanted to keep it close to the other Hades Nebula remix I did.. This way they are sort of connected..
Eagles (Ibiza Club Mix)
Original by Johannes Bjerregaard.
Another of these short but catchy tunes from the old days. I've done a remix of this one before.. But this one is very different from the first one.. I wanted to make something that sounded more like a club-mix and I think I reached my goal this time..
Deathscape (TranCelate This)
Original by Ben Daglish.
This is one of my older remixes.. That is.. I started on this one shortly after I released the Comic Bakery remix (which is quite some time ago). But I gave up on trying to finish it.. Recently I picked it up again and finished it.. Originally I had much more stuff from the original tune in the mix.. But the more I messed around it I came to the conclusion to exclude various bits from the original..
Enduro Racer (Living In The Fastlane)
Original by David Whittaker.
Very short tune… The original just loops continuously.
Can't say much about this remix other than it's some typical trance stuff..
Delta (End Theme)
Original by Rob Hubbard.
Actually I wanted to remix some of the other tunes from the game.. But as they already have been remixed to death by everyone else I choose to try my luck with this one instead..
Desert Dream (Return Of The Ankh)
Original by Laxity
This is a remix of an Amiga tune which was used in the amazing demo called Desert Dream..
Actually the reason I started on remixing this tune was because it was supposed to be part of a remake/tribute animation video for Kefrens' Desert Dream.. But that project has been cancelled..
64 Reasons To Live
Original by Hazel
Some original stuff.. C64 sounds mixed with new sounds and you get this.. This song could have been divided in the middle because it kind of changes into a whole new song there… You could say that this is a 2-in-1 song.. ?
SYS64738 (A Second Chance)
Original by Hazel
The last song on this album and a tribute to the C64, Slayradio and life in general..
When I made the Comic Bakery remix back in 2003 I was beginning to doubt myself and my music.. I was actually tired of everything and was thinking of quitting composing music as I didn't think I was improving my skills and I had reached the end of my talent.
But then I discovered Slayradio and heard my remix being played on air by some crazy people called Boz & Kenz.. It was a great experience for me and later on I released another remix.. And would you believe it, they also played that one.. I got some nice comments and useful critism by people which helped me further in my music creation.. And with this in mind I would like to thank : Boz, Kenz, Skitz, Ziphoid, Makke, Slaygon & Andreas for playing my shit on radio… Thanks to Jan for KWED so I could release my crap on his site and mostly important… Thanks to everyone on the irc-channel #Slayradio!! You are all fantastic people..
I believe that this was a second chance" in my musical career… And thank you for downloading this album (you must be insane to waste your bandwidth on this)?

Green Delta Sisters (feat. Thanatos)
Arranged by Eivind Sommersten
Love this one. I hope if there's ever a remake to some space - green beret mutant of Gianna Sisters game, this will be its main theme.
