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."

bastard:
Great work!
CaptainSoftware:
Great clean cover from the original but with better guitars
Markus Gecko:
Nothing particularly new about this, but very well executed!
Mordi:
Solid remix of Thrust! I agree with LMan that the mix leaves something to be desired, although I think it's quite good.
LaLa:
You best Thrust remix, yet! I wish Jesper's guitar was more front and center in the mix, it kinda gets lost in the shuffle, esp towards the end. Otherwise, it's all pretty solid as-is, just needs a bit more aggressive mixing applied to it.
YogibearRenoise:
Great rendition!
LMan:
I highly suggest reworking the mixdown and mastering, this track has red smiley potential but underperforms due to a very muddy mix.
