Title: Romeo Knight - Enigma Gun (Extended Mix)
Post by: neriakX on October 26, 2011
Hiya,

since 1993 I've always wanted to remix this crazy Sidmon Tune from an Amiga Cracktro composed by Romeo Knight. I've mailed  Romeo (Eike) to make sure it's really a tune from him, because he didn't mention it on his personal website. He acknowledged and gave me the 'Go' to remake his tune.

So here it is .. I'll guess I'll upload it to amigaremix.com soon. I wished I could upload it on scenemusic.net (nectarine) but it seems you have to be a demo musician, which I'm technically not ... yet. Update: It's online now ;)

I'm curious about your opinions and  I'm also glad because this is my debut to show something off here on the forums  :updance:

So here its is, have fun: Enigma Gun(Extended Mix) (http://www.mediafire.com/?zp64av9zqrs8ngv)

I've also attached the orignial Sidmon tune, so you can also check it out. You can play it with XM-Player.

Here's also a short vide of the original cracktro: http://gamesdbase.com/game/commodore-amiga-demos/eishockey-manager.aspx

Enjoy!

PS: the ID3 tag says the remake is done by neriakX, that's also me .. it's my handle for the scene. I should have registered here with that one, but I was used to dizphunkt , which is my real artist name ... ;)

Edit: soooo many freaking typos ....

I just listened to that tune for the last 2 hours in an endless loop. It is fantastic. Extremely cool. One of the best crack-tro tune remakes I have listened to in the last years. Simply awesome  :clap:

oh, that's a nice one .. yeah why not? :P I'll check if there already are other remixes of this awesome tune.

btw: my alltime favourite would be this great Hippel song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjx4C_QbgA8&feature=related
I definitely wanna make something with it .. getting a "gooseskin" each time I'm listening to it.  <3

Yes, of course I do know it :) It's very cool. Too bad they're not hosting any Amiga tracks. I've uploaded my track to http://www.amigaremix.com
They have a big waiting queue tho :(

At the moment, there are 22 remixes in the submission queue.

dizphunkt, have you done any tunes with the 4klang (by Alcatraz) or v2 (by kb/farbrausch) soft synths? I would love to use a tune by you in a demo or intro at some point :)

Ah, this is SICK :D Had to switch to my production headphones to give it a proper listen :)

Awesome remix; really captured the oldschool feel while modernizing it a bit; comes together really nicely. I would've preferred a bit more sidechain but that's just hipster me talking :D

Really cool stuff man! I look forward to hearing more from you.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I REALLY dig the crunchy (bitcrush?) stuff you did on the lead in the beginning and end :)

Really awesome remix, that's going on my phone so that I can listen to it when I'm in work.

Btw, if you want to change your display name to NeriakX, you can do that in your profile.  You'll still log in as Dizphunkt but you'll appear as NeriaK :)

Hey Raizor, I already have the farbrausch VST and tried it out. I don't know the 4klang Sofftsynth, but I'll give it a shot. I'd really love to work with you guys! Man, so many projects .. coming straight out of nowhere hehe. I'm excited like a little child, teehee.

Hrhr, the sidechain .. yes. I tried it and it didn't work that well ... technically yes, but it somehow fucked the style ;) This wasn't meant to be a house track, that's why it sounds more like an Italo Disco Tune :P But I can see and understand your point.

Oh, I'm on it. Just taking a break because Cubase crashed again on me. At the moment I'm tweaking around with the instruments and the drums.  I  also wanna try different styles on it. We'll see. You won't have to wait for too long, that's for sure :)

A-W-E-S-O-M-E remix!!! love that style!
just a little too long fade in ... (8 sec are a little too much, on the first run I tweaked with volume to the max... unfortunately it was on 3am with my wife sleeping right behind me... won't tell you more... :) )


It's really a nice community here! I think I'm gonna stick with you for some time ^^
you're welcome!
