STIL comment	This music was also used in the game Duet, which is basically the same as Commando'86 but with the first 23 seconds removed, probably due to copyright infringement. "Again I can't remember anything about this game really, the tune however is a hotch potch of covered tunes including Tubular Bells." (MC)

Artist:	Rick Wakeman

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

suso:
Didn't know about Commando 86, but I guess the opening to the game uses Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells riff (Exorcist theme). I was like, what the? This isn't commando.
condor:
I have to appreciate the effort.
Satanarchist:
For those not in the know this is the lesser known Commando, not the Rob Hubbard work of genius… And its nicely done, needs more content to get a higher vote off me.
C64ever:
A simple classical type piece… Not bad but you wouldn't know it was a c64 remix.
Amok:
Sounds not bad. But where is the orchestral part?
LaLa:
The rather synthetic instruments pull down this piece, which is actually more of a chamber piece than orchestral. The mixing is rather flat, too. And when it finally gets interesting - it suddenly ends.
talexo:
Es ist kein typischer C64 Sound. Die Tonfolgen zu schnell, das ganze Stück wirkt zu hecktsch.
prowler:
Not the most enjoyable piece around, ok technically I guess but rather plain to listen to…
brix:
WTF? Sounds like an amiga chiptune trying to emulate an orchestra… And not even crappy enough to be funny again. I hate it.
