Turrican 2 Freedom Western Remix

Frog · 20 November 2005, 13:07

i just found an "interesting" remix of Turrican 2 done by AmiGamer.

It's an Ennio Morricone conversion, you can listen it at http://www.amigaremix.com/main.php

Great work AmiGamer !

mcbpete · 20 November 2005, 19:21

Woah, that's incredible. I want to know how on earth he managed to pull off something as awesome sounding as that. Simply stunning.

sw2001 · 20 November 2005, 20:58

That's really a nice one. Thanks for that.

wanderer · 21 November 2005, 00:29

Great! But the feel of the original tune is totally gone. (After sec. 1:17...)

Mnemesi · 21 November 2005, 02:05

This sounds so close to one of the themes from the Good, Bad, and Ugly, it'd probably get dragged into copyright infringement court in a heartbeat.

17 June 2006, 00:11

Hi folks, i just googled for "AmiGamer" and found Your notes, so i thought i'd register and do two things:
1.) Thank you for your nice comments regarding my Turrican 2 remix, i'm very happy to hear so many people seem to like it... makes all those hours in the hobby cellar pay out at last

2.) Clear up a misunderstanding... in this remix, i have actually used the original version of "Ecstasy of Gold" from the "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" soundtrack, which i have on CD... basically, what you hear here is the original soundtrack mixed with me playing the Turrican Part over it on my keyboards. The idea behind this was to demonstrate how well Morricone's masterpiece goes together with the Turrican soundtrack, and in oder to emphasize this point, i used the original Morricone soundtrack rather than re-playing it on my keyboards.
You can read detailed comments i submitted along with my remix here:

And if you'd like to hear more amiga-themed remixes i wrote, you can get them here:

Thanks again for listening!
Cheers,
AmiGamer

AmiGamer.....MIGHTY impressive!

I've listened to all six remixes on your website and this is exactly my kind of taste. I have many Bjorn Lynne CD's, Allistair Brimble CD's, etc, but I've also been interested in those classic Amiga game mods being remixed and updated and yours is by far the best I've heard.

Whilst these are freely available to listen to, and providing I haven't missed something, do you intend to do a CD compilation? Or do you know of any that has been done?

17 June 2006, 16:34

Hi quahappy, and thank you very much, great to hear you enjoy my work.
As for the CD, there are two "official" remix-CDs i know of, though they're remixes of C64-based games.. I think you can order them at http://www.remix64.com/remix64_v1.html and http://www.remix64.com/remix64_v2.html
I have never produced a CD and don't have any plans for this in the near future because i lack the money and the knowledge regarding copyright and stuff... the game companies don't seem to mind free distributed stuff but their attitude might change once us remixers start to get money out of this

Of course, should amigaremix.com (or remix46.com , i might soon start to submit some remixes there too) ask me if they can include any of my tracks on their CDs, i wouldn't mind..
Regards,
AmiGamer

wanderer · 20 June 2006, 01:05

Great work AmiGamer!

Here's my suggestion/humble request for a future project: the in-game music of Stormlord (I think it's the same on all stages), it'd make an epic in your capable hands!

20 June 2006, 22:05

Wanderer, thank you very much.
I must admit i've never played "Stormlord" but i'll look for an emulation or sound file.
Just yesterday, i've finished a new remix... remember that funky soundtrack in the medieval leven of "Lemmings:Tribes"? *g*
Nothing too spectacular this time but it sounds nice... looking forward to having it uploaded at amigaremix.com (although this usually takes a while) and hearing what people think about it..
Regards,
AmiGamer

No worries.... I get sick of what's in the music charts today (half of 'em can't sing! well, that's my opinion or I am getting old!) and I much prefer to listen to any form of instrumental music

Thanks for the links. Had a listen to the previews and those SID mods certainly brings back memories. Then of course, the remixes are excellent. Those CD's are on my shopping list now

You'd think companies or even the original musicians would be honoured of having there game tunes remixed

Looking forward to hearing it then! Take a look at the Zone, I've uploaded the Stormlord tunes (by the Maniacs Of Noise) and the game. They're in 4+MB mp3 format since I couldn't get the original rips (from Exotica) to work in Deliplayer.
You'll have to play the game to get into the mood! If you persist a bit, it's a great, rewarding game.

sarek2k · 21 June 2006, 03:08

@quahappy speaking of modern music i see top of the pops is about to end after the end of this month! Was compulsory viewing in the 80's and i know what u mean about chart music what garbage lol

and yes m8 we are getting to old

@AmiGer yeah heard some of your mixes awesome will deffo check out the turrican remix tho sounds awesome! And indeed stormlord would be worthy of a remix too!
Maniacs of noise originally on the c64 i think (could be wrong tho

)

sarek2k · 21 June 2006, 03:22

@AmiGer you could always post the lemmings tribes remix in the zone i think that would be allowed seen as it's amiga related in the mean time we wait for it to appear on amigaremix.com

blade002 · 21 June 2006, 07:53

Both the Turrican 2 & The Good the Bad & the Ugly tunes are absolute classic masterpieces!.. the way you have mixed them both together AmiGamer is brilliant

ToTP's ending?! Awwww...... it'll be missed just to laugh at the crap they had on it! Prefer ToTP 2 (BBC2)

You're right.... must be getting old! Gone from those 80's classics pop/rock (which I think ya still can't beat!) all the way to instrumental, which I suppose comes under "easy listening" in shop category?! and gawd knows what I'll be listening to in 10 years.... Max Bygraves?! Yikes! Do like some of the 60s stuff though... now where did i put my tank top and rubik cube?

@AmiGamer
I think there's going to be quite a few requests for updates of old mods for you to remix on this thread!

sarek2k · 22 June 2006, 04:01

@quahappy i love instrumental stuff from Telstar & a walk in the blackforest (not heard for many years) to the shadows and then later Jarre and game mixes like the ones Amiger and other legends from the c64 have brought us infact shut up with all the singing and let us listen to the music

I think the easy listening would these days be supermarket or lift music

@Amiger just listend to the Turrican 2 remix awesome love it hardly sounds like turrican because of it's influence but yet it is turrican if it looses it's turrican appeal i suppose thats down to the nature of the theme tune it's wrapped in and around and i commend your keyboard playing skills I just wish i didn't have the musical talent of a soggy weetabix

Paul · 22 June 2006, 11:49

I like the Desert Dreams one the most

quahappy · 22 June 2006, 14:37

@sarek2k
Spooky! Our taste are so similar! Jean Michel Jarre (got near enough every tape & CD), The Shadows, Vangelis, Telstar, all those Synthesier remix CD's, and more.... even 80s chart-toppers 12' remix instrument singles! As you say, singing hides good backing music. When I'm driving and the wife is with me, out comes JMJ and into the CD player goes Robbie Williams!

@Paul
Excellent tracks are Desert Dreams. Another one I'd like to see remixed is Enigma from World of Commodore demo

@AmiGamer
Lemmings remix?! Look forward to hearing that one too heh heh.
Out of curiosity, what setup do you use?

I had a Yamaha MIDI keyboard connected up to my A500 running Sonix years ago. Wires all over the place and the trouble I had getting Sonix and the keyboard in sync! As for recording tracks on to tape - I felt they were crap so I didn't bother! I just used the keyboard for Bass and Drums (4 channels), and the Strings, etc. within Sonix (the other four channels).

quahappy · 23 June 2006, 01:06

@sarek2k
Take a look at this link.... either drive you nuts or bring back memories!

sarek2k · 23 June 2006, 02:01

@quahappy yeah a m8 sent me that link a few weeks ago some classics eh

video quality ain't great but they have a lot of stuff and limited bandwidth i suppose!

Thanks for the shout tho m8!

heh heh..... my kids keep wanting to watch the video, The Firm - Star Trekkin' all the time on that 80's site!

As for video quality... yep, it's shite, but the picture quality kind of reminds me the crap aerial we used to have for the TV before getting a brand new one! How things have changed

02 July 2006, 23:38

Back from a short vacation trip, sorry for the late response...

First of all, Lemmings:Tribes Medieval Levels remix is submitted but right now it's #20 in the upload queue so it will still take a while...

quahappy, glad I could help you with these CDs, and I agree with you... 99% of the music that is produced nowadays is, well, bad

Regarding popular music, I'm more a fan of the 80s... As for requests for future remixes, up to now i have more than 15 i have planned but couldn't get my butt up to work on but once these are done, i'm always open to suggestions *g*
Are you talking about Aegis Sonix? I used this too in the beginning of my musical experiences (hooked my Casio 456 sound Tone Bank keyboard to it). Great program on the Amiga...
Now, the "quality" instruments i play on are a Korg X3 workstation and a Yamaha PSR-4000 multifunctional keyboard. For additional effects, i have smaller keyboards (more like child toys *l*), a very old Yamaha PS-35, a Casio SK-200 sampling keyboard and the Casio 456 sound Tone Bank keyboard. Up to now, the only instrument i used for my remixes is the Korg Workstation, though, it has a built-in 16 tracks sequencer on which I record my songs, then I load them into my computer for post-work using the software "SoundForge 7.0" (not a sequencer software, more like direct waveform editing. More complicated but you can do a lot you can't do in a sequencer software there). To include original SID/MOD files, i use "mod4win" and "SidPlay" (freely downloadable from the internet), although i have never done this yet. Oh, and i downloaded a nice free Vocoder software a few days ago, might use this soon...
You can see me sitting on my instruments on my profile page at http://www.remix64.com/member_amigamer.html

sarek2k, thank you very much, yes, the Turrican appeal is lost a bit in this one, probably mainly because i used the original Ennio Morricone soundtrack in it, rather than re-playing it myself...

wanderer/sarek2k, sorry for sounding stupid but what/where is the Zone?

blade002, thank you very much... glad you like it, this remix polarized a lot. On one side there are the people who said "Wow, great idea to combine these two pieces".. on the other side there are those who say "Aw man, 90% of your remix is not even your own work"... both sides are understandable to me but of course, i prefer those who look at it the first way

Paul, thanks a lot... Actually, from the quality point of view, this is my own favourite as well

sarek2k · 03 July 2006, 00:01

@AmiGamer i used to dabble with keyboards i started with casio sk1 sampler keyboard and had a few others like yammaha etc but they were just toys really and a good job since i have no musical talent whatsoever! My m8 who used to dabble at the same time as me now has a korg triton plus another keyboard forget what it is at the minute! The Zone is a private area for uploading files to and from read the FAQ how to get access as it's been so long now i've forgetten how i got access lol

As you can see at the top is a little text link marked the Zone

(we are talking years here

)

quahappy · 03 July 2006, 00:30

@AmiGamer
Just had a look at your profile link.... shiiiiiit - that's one excellent setup and thanks for telling us all the equipment you use!

That's the one - Aegis Sonix. Then I went on to Octamed. After that I used Music 2000 and MTV Music Generator on the (Playstation) PS1/2. Everything I did is somewhere on cassettes. Stuff I did on Sonix is crap. Improved slightly with Octamed. But I have to admit my friends thought a few of the ones I did on PS1/2 were good. Personally I think they said that out loud and "you're having a laugh?!" in there head.... I got fed up hearing others using the inbuilt "riffs" with Music 2000 so I created my own.

It goes to prove the power of the Amiga despite being limited to 4 channels compared to the many in say Music 2000, but hearing your remixes breathes new life into these mods and give them full CD quality sound and effects these classics deserve.

Magno Boots · 03 July 2006, 00:35

LOL @ you guys with your primative keyboards..
I still have my Casio VL-Tone! (remember that one?)

Seriously though, the Enio Morricone track is excellent, although I believed it was called 'Tuco's Gold' - according to an old LP I have somewhere.

That film is my all time fave...... Blonnnn - deeeeeeeeeeee

Keep up the good work.

Edit: purely for spelling mistake purposes!

05 July 2006, 22:05

sarek2k, well, what's most important is that it's fun playing... if this is achieved, even talent is secondary... i remember when i first started learning how to play on the piano (never took any lessons *l*) people begged me to stop but what the hell.. i had fun!

Thanks for the explanation regarding the zone, it says something about insufficient priviledges when i try to log in but that's okay... i guess i'll simply wait until my remix is uploaded at amigaremix.com.. got used to it by now...

quahappy, frankly speaking, this photo is more like a promo photo... I do have all this equipment but for 90% of my remixes i use the Korg X3 workstation only (the one on my right side with the cable over it on my picture).
Thanks again for your nice words, if you're trying to make me blush you just succeeded. *l* Btw, if you're still looking for C64-based CDs, i just found a nice page at http://www.c64audio.com/

Magno Boots, thank you... I took the Morricone part off the original soundtrack CD i have, it's entitled "Ecstasy of gold" there but it might have been named differently on older LPs. And i never understood why they called Eastwood with his brown hair "Blondie" in this film... *l*

AmiGamer....Another idea....How about a remix of Flashback Options 1 (Journal.mod)

10 July 2006, 17:51

Okay, i just joined the zone to upload my Lemmings remix.. problem is, even in zipped state, it's 7.9 mb while the zone "only" allows 6 mb per file.
Sorry, folks... but you'll have to wait for the amigaremix.com release, i'm afraid

Paul, thanks for the hint... but one at the time.. right now i'm working on a remix of my all-time favourite C64 music theme.. Gliderrider ... this theme absolutely rocks!

Hello AmiGamer,

Just a suggestion... You could always upload it to a file hosting site like FileFactory http://www.filefactory.com or YouSendIt http://www.yousendit.com.

I would say use FileFactory over YouSendIt though as upload / download is quicker + file stays for about 1 month (whereas only 7 days for YSI)

10 July 2006, 22:36

DamienD, thanks, i might open an account there..
Until this happens, i took the liberty of uploading a shortened "appetizer" of my Lemmings:Tribes Medieval Levels remix here at the zone.
It's a short excerpt of the song... a kind of very exclusive preview of what will hopefully soon be available on my "home" website amigaremix.com

To listen, simply go to the zone
Cheers,
AmiGamer

sarek2k · 10 July 2006, 23:22

@AmiGamer sounds cool so far m8!

can't wait to hear all of it

Can't say i've heard glider rider tune i'll have to see if there are any other conversions (c64)

Lemmings is a VERY VERY sore point for me at the moment i ain't buying a bastard PSP to play the new version and sick that sony got hold of the rights! to those that like psp i ain't knocking the machine or it's abillities just not everyone wants to play games on a hand held console!

@DamienD as soon as i saw that reply i knew it was by u lol

ROFL

What can I say, I use file hosting sites quite often. It helps me and my friends out with exchanging files, saves posting CD-Rs

Many people use RapidShare... Just don't like it as my ISP refuses to work with "Free" downloads plus you have the timer junk. Refuse to pay for the "Premium" accounts

Jean Michel Jarre (got near enough every tape & CD), The Shadows, Vangelis, Telstar, all those Synthesier remix CD's, and more.... even 80s chart-toppers 12' remix instrument singles! As you say, singing hides good backing music. When I'm driving and the wife is with me, out comes JMJ and into the CD player goes Robbie Williams! @Paul Excellent tracks are Desert Dreams. Another one I'd like to see remixed is Enigma from World of Commodore demo @AmiGamer Lemmings remix?! Look forward to hearing that one too heh heh. Out of curiosity, what setup do you use? I had a Yamaha MIDI keyboard connected up to my A500 running Sonix years ago. Wires all over the place and the trouble I had getting Sonix and the keyboard in sync! As for recording tracks on to tape - I felt they were crap so I didn't bother! I just used the keyboard for Bass and Drums (4 channels), and the Strings, etc. within Sonix (the other four channels).

AmiGamer Posts: n/a	Back from a short vacation trip, sorry for the late response... First of all, Lemmings:Tribes Medieval Levels remix is submitted but right now it's #20 in the upload queue so it will still take a while... quahappy, glad I could help you with these CDs, and I agree with you... 99% of the music that is produced nowadays is, well, bad Regarding popular music, I'm more a fan of the 80s... As for requests for future remixes, up to now i have more than 15 i have planned but couldn't get my butt up to work on but once these are done, i'm always open to suggestions g Are you talking about Aegis Sonix? I used this too in the beginning of my musical experiences (hooked my Casio 456 sound Tone Bank keyboard to it). Great program on the Amiga... Now, the "quality" instruments i play on are a Korg X3 workstation and a Yamaha PSR-4000 multifunctional keyboard. For additional effects, i have smaller keyboards (more like child toys l), a very old Yamaha PS-35, a Casio SK-200 sampling keyboard and the Casio 456 sound Tone Bank keyboard. Up to now, the only instrument i used for my remixes is the Korg Workstation, though, it has a built-in 16 tracks sequencer on which I record my songs, then I load them into my computer for post-work using the software "SoundForge 7.0" (not a sequencer software, more like direct waveform editing. More complicated but you can do a lot you can't do in a sequencer software there). To include original SID/MOD files, i use "mod4win" and "SidPlay" (freely downloadable from the internet), although i have never done this yet. Oh, and i downloaded a nice free Vocoder software a few days ago, might use this soon... You can see me sitting on my instruments on my profile page at http://www.remix64.com/member_amigamer.html sarek2k, thank you very much, yes, the Turrican appeal is lost a bit in this one, probably mainly because i used the original Ennio Morricone soundtrack in it, rather than re-playing it myself... wanderer/sarek2k, sorry for sounding stupid but what/where is the Zone? blade002, thank you very much... glad you like it, this remix polarized a lot. On one side there are the people who said "Wow, great idea to combine these two pieces".. on the other side there are those who say "Aw man, 90% of your remix is not even your own work"... both sides are understandable to me but of course, i prefer those who look at it the first way Paul, thanks a lot... Actually, from the quality point of view, this is my own favourite as well

My m8 who used to dabble at the same time as me now has a korg triton plus another keyboard forget what it is at the minute! The Zone is a private area for uploading files to and from read the FAQ how to get access as it's been so long now i've forgetten how i got access lol As you can see at the top is a little text link marked the Zone (we are talking years here ) __________________ Sarek2k

quahappy Born again WinUAE user Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: South Yorkshire, UK Age: 45 Posts: 1,340	@AmiGamer Just had a look at your profile link.... shiiiiiit - that's one excellent setup and thanks for telling us all the equipment you use! That's the one - Aegis Sonix. Then I went on to Octamed. After that I used Music 2000 and MTV Music Generator on the (Playstation) PS1/2. Everything I did is somewhere on cassettes. Stuff I did on Sonix is crap. Improved slightly with Octamed. But I have to admit my friends thought a few of the ones I did on PS1/2 were good. Personally I think they said that out loud and "you're having a laugh?!" in there head.... I got fed up hearing others using the inbuilt "riffs" with Music 2000 so I created my own. It goes to prove the power of the Amiga despite being limited to 4 channels compared to the many in say Music 2000, but hearing your remixes breathes new life into these mods and give them full CD quality sound and effects these classics deserve.

Seriously though, the Enio Morricone track is excellent, although I believed it was called 'Tuco's Gold' - according to an old LP I have somewhere. That film is my all time fave...... Blonnnn - deeeeeeeeeeee Keep up the good work. Edit: purely for spelling mistake purposes!

AmiGamer Posts: n/a	sarek2k, well, what's most important is that it's fun playing... if this is achieved, even talent is secondary... i remember when i first started learning how to play on the piano (never took any lessons l) people begged me to stop but what the hell.. i had fun! Thanks for the explanation regarding the zone, it says something about insufficient priviledges when i try to log in but that's okay... i guess i'll simply wait until my remix is uploaded at amigaremix.com.. got used to it by now... quahappy, frankly speaking, this photo is more like a promo photo... I do have all this equipment but for 90% of my remixes i use the Korg X3 workstation only (the one on my right side with the cable over it on my picture). Thanks again for your nice words, if you're trying to make me blush you just succeeded. l Btw, if you're still looking for C64-based CDs, i just found a nice page at http://www.c64audio.com/ Magno Boots, thank you... I took the Morricone part off the original soundtrack CD i have, it's entitled "Ecstasy of gold" there but it might have been named differently on older LPs. And i never understood why they called Eastwood with his brown hair "Blondie" in this film... l

AmiGamer Posts: n/a	Okay, i just joined the zone to upload my Lemmings remix.. problem is, even in zipped state, it's 7.9 mb while the zone "only" allows 6 mb per file. Sorry, folks... but you'll have to wait for the amigaremix.com release, i'm afraid Paul, thanks for the hint... but one at the time.. right now i'm working on a remix of my all-time favourite C64 music theme.. Gliderrider ... this theme absolutely rocks!

AmiGamer Posts: n/a	DamienD, thanks, i might open an account there.. Until this happens, i took the liberty of uploading a shortened "appetizer" of my Lemmings:Tribes Medieval Levels remix here at the zone. It's a short excerpt of the song... a kind of very exclusive preview of what will hopefully soon be available on my "home" website amigaremix.com To listen, simply go to the zone Cheers, AmiGamer Last edited by Paul; 11 July 2006 at 11:26.
