STIL commentDoes not cover the arcade version. "Bombjack 1 was based on the old coin op machine. The title tune is a Jean-Michel Jarre cover. We used to copy tunes like this all the time in the early days, I think the legislation at the time didn't cover computer based music, that situation didn't last very long though and we then needed to do original compositions (supposedly). Only tune 2 is from the original arcade machine. I seem to remember that in the original version of the music I used Lady Madonna by the Beatles." (MC)

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

Mauriban:
I really like it of course there are alot of remix for this but still its one of the best for me.
omoroca:
Happy, bouncy version. Somewhere between Average and Good!
Dan:
Why am I thinking of the Fast Food Rockers right now?
eliot:
Not that bad for his first try 😊
LMan:
OMG, this is cheeeeeeeesy!! Had a 90s dancefloor flash back just now. πŸ˜ƒ
pg:
It's really not that bad, has a 'happy' feeling πŸ˜€
LaLa:
Nice and playful, to the point, doesn't drag on - this is very enjoyable!
Tas:
It works, but I really cant abide the drum that plays throughout.
mfe:
Lacks development and flair, much too short.
Waz:
A bit unimaginative, sounds like Stock Aitken and Waterman mixed with the Fast Food Rockers, and not enough of the tune covered either. Needs more work.
Makke:
Lacks a bit of imagination in my opinion. Very clean and clear mixing though!
anaconda:
Have I ever mentioned how tired I am of Bombjack? But I admit this tune is one of the better versions of it. Though a few weak parts. And I don't know if the fact that it's 1:25 short is positive or negative. It's got speeeed though.
westerling:
The backbeat sound is disturbing harmonically and it has too much delay.
Tobbe:
Avarage but missing ~70%
ifadeo:
Sounds like cheap techno-trash…
romeo_knight:
Where is the rest of the tune? This is only a poor dance mix of a 5 second melody done in a hurry.
load_error:
If it is a joke, I can appreciate the fun, but as a musical attept, this is awfull.
