STIL comment"This Elite game involved flying a plane around and bombing stuff. I think it was based on an overhead view. Version 1 of the music has the 633 Squadron theme for tune 1 but for copyright reasons I had to redo the music using an original tune. This tune was not as good as the 633 tune but I probably had the minimum time to come up with something." (MC)

YogibearRenoise:
Wonderful!
Jojje70:
Very well done! And I love how you included the high score theme as well. This is quite brilliant if you ask me.
Mrcookie:
The original could learn from this.
Mendion:
Absolutely awesome! The instruments used to do this tune are simply perfect. I was totally envolved by the atmosphere.10/10. Period.
Sodden:
Fake orchestra… Or not,, it's magic. Make me smile…
Arash NL:
Brought tears to my eyes…
humorguy:
Chocks away. Bandits 12 O;clock… Watch out for those Zero's! It's alright Sir, recognise the pattern! Tally Ho!!! Nice one sid!
karter:
This really impressed me.
hillsman:
Exhilarating - great atmosphere and really grows on you. Fabulous!
hulken:
FUCKING EXCELLENT!
vosla:
Very immersing tune! And it's not just a cover.
Dumper:
Captures the whole war feeling perfectly, great remix.
ifadeo:
Brilliant masterpiece of remix art!
infamous:
Ownage… Absolutely tremendous tune.
load_error:
Ahhhhh this is great!! Mount out the troops!!! I'm for remixes not for covers, but this deserves a RED FACE!
q__:
Yep, best remix ever for me.
Tas:
For me the best remix of the year by far. The structure, the sound picture… Oh its amazing piece of work. I know its a cover, but this still is sooooo good
dacke:
Fantastic, really cought the original
westerling:
You´re very musical Miguel. This is outstanding!
nettuno:
I can't belive to my… Ears!
Quarex:
This is fantastic. So happy! I feel like I accomplished a great deed just hearing the song.
snorski:
Brilliant variation on a brilliant theme!
LMan:
Everyone spring to arms! The fact that the arranger based this solely on the SID, and the gereat incorporation of the highscore subtune should exceptionally justify an publication at RKO, in my opinion. Very well done!
Ryrynz:
This tune is amazing. I will love it till the day I die… Seriously… It's fucking EPIC and a masterpiece, DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!. Dude, If you redid this with a real orchestra, you would be a god… No joke.
devilhood:
Really lovely arrangement, the orchestral sounds aren't really that bad, nice work!
rollercoaster:
Oh, that makes your heart smiling!
Dan:
Excellent use of instruments which create a GREAT atmosphere, shame its a cover
Waz:
A really nice piece on the whole with lots of atmosphere and very well chosen instruments. Even if it is a cover of 633rd Squadron in the main, it's an admirable effort, captain!
anaconda:
I don't like orchestral remixes, as they tend to be dull, slow and not very lively in general. This tune is the far opposite! The instruments, song, everything is very good!! I'm impressed.
eliot:
Instruments are not realistic, but some parts of the arrangment are very nicely done, except the flutes at 0:12 *argl*. It was not easy to decide yellow or orange, but compared to other uploads it gets a shiny orange 😉
drm:
Well played but we've heard 633 squadron before only with real brass instruments on countless military CD's
LaLa:
A highly unrealistic brass section ruins this otherwise promising piece. The arrangement is great, so this would sound awesome with a real orchestra - but as it stands, it's too synthy for me.
_steve_:
Lovely arrangement, but the sounds are a little too synthetic. Rework the orchestral sounds and it would be so much better.
cicalone:
Good, but no drum…
romeo_knight:
Sorry, but I can't share the enthusiasm about artificial sounding score-type remixes. It's very well arranged though.
omoroca:
Arrgh! Sounds like a MIDI played on an 8-Bit wavetable soundcard! Overrated! But I'll give it an Average.
zine:
Don't like fake orchestra
