OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

M.A.F:
Bloody Marverlous that!
Nebdar:
Great work, nice instrumental arrangment, it is sad that is so short
Amok:
Perfect!
nicodaemus:
Yes.
Waz:
Do I like this!😊
oxygen:
It's the best!!!
Analog-X64:
When it started… I thought what the heck is this… Than BOOM!!! Awesomness!!! I'm not a big fan of Orchestral Remixes, but I like this one very much. Well Produced…
vassago:
Hell yeah, baby! Keep it up!
Ziphoid:
Just a lovely rendition of Green Beret and I like the beat pulsating throughout the whole track.
Makke:
Mmm… Brimbleicious…
GeneralIgor:
Only the Green Beret can help…
condor:
Excellent!
Mordi:
Very nice, and I like how the start implies that the rest of the song sucks (and after that its very cinematic!)
Konstantin:
Yeah, Great work Allister!
chilli_uk:
WOW!!! Its a blooy good piece - BLOODY GOOD.
LaLa:
Excellent orchestral version, albeit a bit short - some more experimentation on the main theme would be welcome. I also think using the original SID drums here is kinda hokey. Otherwise, definitely a keeper.
Scyphe:
Great great sound and awesome use of orchestral sounds. The only thing it lacks is bottom (low frequencies/bass), but other than that it's nearly flawless.😃
Jackal:
SHOCK HORROR! END OF WORLD IS NIGH! BRIMBLE DOES TUNE THAT ISNT REMINISCENT OF ALIEN BREED!😉
Ryrynz:
Sounds good and all, but not one for my collection.
eliot:
Hmm… Quite excellent… Don't like the strings, too much reverb for my taste and the instruments sound all a bit artifical, but I honor the idea, so this one goes orange 😀
Nada:
I think the SID bits in the beginning and at the end are a good idea, actually! Well, I do have a sick taste, anyway! But the tune is too short
Tas:
Almost perfect, if only it was longer!!! What however is there is excellent! I'd have give it a red any day of the week if it was longer!
snorski:
Good… Not great… Don't like the ploink refrence at the beginning and at the end
pricer:
Fantastic opening, and an unexpectedly early end. Good stuff, just needed to be longer.
gator:
It's great, but it should be longer. I'd love to hear the same approach to Ghosts 'n' Goblins.
Skitz:
Very nice orchestral remix of this amazing Galway SID! I actually think the SID bookends ruin it myself though - just a thought.
jaytee:
I just love orchestral arrangments, and this is one of the good ones. Symphonic is the b*llock!
dimmignatt:
Nicely done… It's nice to hear this in a orchestral arrangement… Reminds me very much of Warcraft 2…:/
Dr Future:
Alister, thank you for the music! Very nice arrangement of one of my favourite songs…
Razmo:
I'm no orchestral fan… But this is well produced, and deserve an orange! As others said, I miss some bottom (I've got a Bass knob here though). Maybe you should have easened up on that snare tapping, as it goes on and on throughout the score
prowler:
Very good version! However, I just keep comparing every orchestral arrangement to Glyn's Rastan remix, hence the orange smiley.
SarahKreuz:
It`s good. Reminds me a bit of the Metal Gear Soundtracks nowadays. You`ll get no Allister Brimble-Bonus from me, dear (I surely adore your work you`ve done). So here`s the yellow one for you.😉
ninjasoul:
Good work, a bit flat arrangement
omoroca:
The instruments sound a little cheap and artificial. Aside from that, not bad!
romeo_knight:
Sorry, I don't like it. It's much too static and quantized for an orchestral piece. Orchestral means dynamic in every way! Good for the effort.
pezz:
Really well done orchestrally, but misses the groove of the original, the overall marching beat sucked…
Caboose:
So it's ok to come forward with my vote now?: P Yes, didn't like this one much really…
