Story
I decided to make some fresh cottage cheese, musically speaking that is. Anyway, I wanted to make a crispy sounding outrun remix with some minor melodic changes. I felt a need for it to be upbeat and trancy but have a distinct groovy feel to it.

Waz shouts:
Out Run's been done this way a million different times before - even if there's bits that sway off from the original that add a little, it just doesn't do enough. It's solid enough in terms of production and noteworthiness...
omoroca shouts:
A little raw-sounding for my taste!
klosterkatten shouts:
It was some nice unz, but not as epic as the instant remedy version.
prowler shouts:
It's good, but lacks something...
nicodaemus shouts:
It whines more like a children's song with all that high-pitched and pitch-sliding noise than something trancy. Bells? Oh, please. Yes, it isn't horrible, but I can't get myself to like it.
Razmo shouts:
This is great! ... Nice trancy mix, with ATB slides and the occational SID'ish sound. Remixed a lot of times? What the hell! Don't let that stop you!
pezz shouts:
Outrun was never a good C64 tune, the arcade version ruled and nothing ever matched it. This is good - when the actual Magical Sound Shower melody plays, it's on the money - a lot of Outrun re-mixes miss the funkiness of the arcade version. Good work!
gator shouts:
Absolutely fanschmabulous!!!
condor shouts:
Now this is nice! So many nice details in it! Very good!
dafunk shouts:
Some serious unz here! Great production but im too not really fond with some of the lead instruments.
knotti shouts:
This is the best Outrunremix I find (sorry for my bad english)
eliot shouts:
Nice stuff, some instruments are a bit off...
aero shouts:
Very nice. The cars in the background kind of reminds me of cyb0rgjeff's version of f-zero even though it's not here on rko :)
eeprom shouts:
Great sounds...
drm shouts:
Gets the adrenaline going.......
AdSalusNonAptus shouts:
This one certainly rules the Instant Remedy version away, which is good too, ofcourse. Well who cares if anything has been remixed before? If he can do it better, let him!!
Hyprhare shouts:
Soooooo good, found it on LastFM!
Retrostage shouts:

Very nice!

I must say, I like this much more than my own remix from the same year! 😃 Yeah, it's a little dated, but it's still fun, and I really like the variation on the melody in the second half. It gets stuck in your head!
