Eliminator (edit) - arranged by Oedipus

Review by gleb, 23/09/2003

this is interesting, but the instrumentation is much too mechanical and punchy.

However, it's a good original take on the tune. It's always good to remember that really anything goes when a remake is concerned, it's a matter of being tasteful though. At least you got the idea that it is a funk tune tho! Good try, and I agree on the punchy instrumentation, but not THAT punchy!!!! I don't want a bloody nose…

Firefly - arranged by ocean

Review by gleb, 23/09/2003

Upon seeing this I was thinking you know, no matter what I listen to, it's not going to beat the original SID tune

The thing with this tune is, it's a song that only the SID can really do.
The cool thing is that ocean understands this in his arrangement.

It's fairly true to the original, all that's really added are more digital drums. But because he sequenced this with hifi equipment, it's what anyone who loves the Firefly theme could ever want… it's like firefly remastered not a firefly remake. However there are some neato little tricks and variations he throws in, that aren't like drastic or extremely noticeable, which is a good thing… they are appropriate with the rest of the tune.

Nice job!
