Story

An easy choice for me, as this wonderful tune has always brought back happy memories of Amiga gaming (not being the most skilled player I heard this quite alot!). I know it's been remixed alot, but I hope you enjoy this slightly different take. Many thanks to Jogeir for helping with the arps, and Firefox for his great and improved drum track, which gave the tune a more anthem style feel.

Mixing : Peter Clarke

Album mastering : Danko

Overall rating

A uniquely elegiac remix that is becoming Tomsk's signature style. Absolutely wonderful and so full of emotions! The instrumentation is a skillful combination of violins, strings, guitars, and drums (and probably a bunch of other instruments, too), and the overall arrangement has a wonderful arc to it. So well done, I really enjoy it!
