Cebit ´90 Demo - Cream of the Earth - arranged by daXX offline

Review by d.a.wilson, 28/02/2006

This mix starts off superbly - really nice choice and balance of sounds with authentic gating effects - it brought a real grin to my face as I waited for the infamous lead guitar BUT so very sadly (in my opinion) it all fell apart from that point onwards.

In my opinion the lead synth needs to be much bigger and more prominent in the mix with all the pitch bend and accents that the original had - afterall that, and the chopped up buffalo stance based loop, made the mod what it was.

I have to admit it will always be difficult to top what has to be the most famous and most loved tracker tunes of all by the most famous Amiga demo group of all time. There is a lot to live up to here.

Close but no cigar…

Turrican 2 - Level 1 - arranged by nightwolf

Review by d.a.wilson, 30/10/2005

I only partly agree with Apekattsex - In my opinion this remix has a LOT of potential BUT very sadly Nightwolf has somehow screwed up the bass line big time in the break-down section (around 1:53 to 2:40). The overall instrumentation and mix in my view ideal for this particular part of the Turrican II suite which was always high energy. Good mix & recording. I really think its worth redoing the bass line and resubmitting this mix. Nice Arpeggios too…
