Auf Wiedersehen Monty & Commando - arranged by Jeroen Tel

Review by omoroca, 22/07/2019

I know, you're supposed to be objective in a review. But as a fan of Hubbard *and* Tel, I can't help but to get goosebumps all over and listen to this cool stuff over and over and over all day long

Comic Bakery (feat Hanna Kappelin & Morpheus) - arranged by o2

Review by omoroca, 28/11/2006

When I heard the names… o2, Marcel Donné and Mahoney, my (along with moog) overall favorite remixing guys (especially Donné, who is my god of c64 remixes); Hanna Kappelin, the very best singer in the c64 scene; Martin Galway, the best composer on the c64 (Yes, better than Hubbard!), with one of his best songs, Comic Bakery… I thought this remix must be sooo intergalactic - but then it wasn't.

It's still outstanding, though! Good work, guys!!! 😉

Shades (Mix) - arranged by o2

Review by omoroca, 10/08/2006

In my opinion, Shades is not only Hülsbeck's first but also his best song. No other Hülsbeck tune ever gave me goose bumps like this one does.

o2 captures the feeling of the tune and gives even more emotional strength to it. Well done! Great work!

Game Over - arranged by Westerling

Review by omoroca, 07/08/2006

I had always thought, playing the guitar can't be that difficult. Until Romeo Knight and most others who tried to play C64 music on the guitar gave me the impression that it's almost impossible to produce a good sound on the electric guitar unless you're Slash or Steve Stevens.

But Westerling gave me new hope! Keep on rocking, dude! 😉

Stormlord (Senecas Marble Pack Edit) - arranged by N-JOY

Review by omoroca, 26/07/2006

If I wasn't married myself, I'd envy N-Joy for being married with Simona. 😉

BTW, my wife said, this sounds like T. A. T. U. in Italian, great work! Give us more of that!!!

Foreign Girl (Kim Nichols mix) - arranged by Wobbler

Review by omoroca, 12/05/2005

I don't know the original SID, but I love this remix. It produces a really cool atmosphere of nostalgic Science Fiction, like in the movie eXistenZ. But who the f@#$ is Kim Nichols?

We'll never be apart (Commando Highscore) - arranged by N-JOY

Review by omoroca, 03/12/2004

I love this tune, it's my overall favorite at the moment! It's so wonderfully sticky and sweet that you just drown in it when listening to it. I especially like the contrast to the brutal Schwarzenegger movie-based war game it's derived from, it's a sick but beautiful idea to make it a love tune. 😉 Well done!!! Re-record it with Enrique Iglesias & Jennifer Lopez, and you'll have a #1 chart hit!

Outstanding drive and passion. This really makes you stomp your feet. If you like Techno and you like the Wizball main theme, then you will LOVE this track!

Wizball (Ball Of Wiz jazz mix) - arranged by Jesper Jakobsen (Tusc)

Review by omoroca, 08/09/2003

This Jesper Guy's a virtuoso on the piano, he creates a whole new piece of music by putting the Wizball highscore song into new worlds of harmony and atmosphere. Without (like many other arrangers) giving the impression he accidently mixed up the harmonies, he switches between major and minor in a different way than the original does and hereby surprises the listener.
