STIL commentReview copies of this game had a bugged loader which mucked up the music and so reviewers of the game gave the music a much lower rating. Julian Rignall (ex-editor of Zzap! 64) takes up the story: "I remember the God awful cacophony that was our review copy of Thrust's music as though it were still playing. This was the problem: the drum sounds worked, but all the other instrument sounds were screwed - basically it resulted in this horrible screeching noise playing to drums, rather than the cool heavyish sound that was heard in the final version of the game. It sounded really harsh and so it was duly shot down by us in the review. I remember hearing the 'proper' version of the game at a later dater and thinking 'ooooops!'. After all it was a classic tune (it became one of my faves, indeed) and we'd mercilessly beaten it down in the review, which was totally unfair. Still, it was good to be able to do a ZZAPback on it and remedy the error."

L0rd3vyL:
Awesome mix
Melaure:
Great piece
cyphax:
I'm lovin' this, sounds absolutely great!
M.A.F:
Really enjoyed this! The bassline coulda been a little more upfront and agreed lead sounds coulda been fuller. Still great though!
hpbifta:
Excellent work, Another fine mix of this possibly my favourite C64 tune of all time.
chilli_uk:
One of my fav hubbard tunes and fooked up in the review in zzap as the loader failed it - this is cool - yes more base and stringer leads but one of the best out there - nice work - changed it to a max as when I listened thru head phones its stunning
Ryrynz:
Diggin it.
NecroPolo:
Not the best remix of this tune, but really good. Nice work of skilled hands. Fist rmx still tops it for me 😊
Chainsaw:
Very good
Amok:
Very good spacesynth track. The bassline needs more power, though.
LaLa:
The only thing I don't like about this remix are the weak and thin lead sounds. The arrangement, the mixing - it's all great.
omoroca:
It's a little cheesy and has some wrong notes. But aside from that, the sounds and the mixing/mastering is very good.
condor:
Better trance synth sounds and it can be much better.
