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.

Never Die (Skitz lives forever)
Arranged by Slaygon
Having now just listened to the original SID, I'm quite stunned at how expertly you have turned it into a very modern piece without loosing the essence of the source.
Also, the dedication you made to Skitz in the title made me remember my time with him as I listened. There are tears on my desk.

Anal-ogue (to the higher state)
Arranged by Mixer
Now, on to Mixer's cover of this great track. I've known Mixer for a little while now (gotta love IRC hehe) and has always had my respect for his musical efforts on c64 aswell. But, this cover of what is one of the hardest hitting c64 tracks has left me stunned.
Even though the track does seem to go a little longer than what is needed, it not only sounds great on a surround system, but it's a good example of how a Dance / Techno styled tune on C64 can be taken to the higher state (in this case Cubase) and blow you away.
Damn good job you've done here Mixer, I'm proud of you 😊
