Reincarnation
by Dejan „Da Funk“ Subotin
 

Review written by CreaMD

Tempest has discovered a new musician! And as you can read later, it's a valuable discovery. This collection not only brings some decent graphic by JailBird, smooth coding by Ninja/The Dreams/Tempest, but as far as I know, it's a first release using Dreamload v2.1 which is the most valuable IRQ loader available as it's the most compatible IRQ loader ever created for c64. (NTSC/PAL and various hardware devices.)

Grab it from here. Use mouse right button click → save target as.

The collection contains tunes mostly inspired by todays pop & dance music. You might find covers of some great hits here. All in all it's very tastefully composed and definitely worth checking. Great work Da Funk.

BACK2HOME – nice, simple a little bit melancholic yet I like it. 5/10

CHOCOS – Good sounds, a little bit silly, happy melody, but still not a bad tune! 5/10

CITYFOLKS – Very nice beginning. Later after 1:30 it sounds like some sort of Terminator movie soundtrack inspired melody. 5.5/10

DA FLOW- Now this could be a HIT… aha It was a hit back then. Cover of a well known tune by a well known Italo-Disco (or what was it ;-) producing Capella… 6/10

EIFFEL 65 – Another cover – a little bit too slow for me but yeah it rocks anyway. I'm bluuuu… yaba daba doooo ;-)). Well, I was listening to this tune a lot when I was green (in army ;-) and felt completely blue, so I have a sort of emotional attachment to this one. Well done funky boy! 6.1/10

FLOATING – happy, simple and energetic tune. 5.5/10

FLYING! – Yeps a slower song. 5/10

JAMBOO – Good sound, but nothing special. 5/10

KILLER – Nice old-style techno beat. Nice filter-modulation after 2:00. All in all, pretty fat 5 minutes long techno song. 6/10

MANIA – Nothing special, stilll quite nice. 5/10

MEGATOOLZ – Another average tune 5/10

NEW WORLD – nice percussion. This tunei is a little bit too much chaotic. Probably some of the oldest? 4/10

MEGATOOLZ – Wow! Very catching beginning! Another cover of a quite decent commercial dance tune. Done in a monumental and thoughtful style. Thumbs up. 7.5/10

PHREAK – Empty. 3/10

R.A.V.E. – Rave. After 1:00 get's better, but still nothing extra. 4 /10

RAINY NIGHT – Another of the slow tunes. I'm sure you will like it. It has almost 5 minutes and speeds up later. You can hear a very nice metallic percussion later in the tune. 6/10

TECHNO I – Hardcore techno beat with interesting sounds and rythm experiments! This is a must for all technolovers out there. 6/10

TECHNO II – Another techno beat. 6/10

THE GALAXY – I don't know. 5/10

THE HARMONY – Just n(ice) ;-). 5/10

YA BRAIN – 5/10

ZLOBNICA – A short & sad tune. 5.5/10

4 MY NOTE – Happy, sounding like if it was composed by the Gregfeell – Polish composer. It's quite melodical and features some nice echoes. 6/10

LAZY NIGHT – Slow, nice and that's all. 6/10

U DONT STOP - good but a little bit raggae styled cover of one great hit. 6.5/10

STANDING - A little bit simpler tune with quality „sync“ sound. 5/10

PUSH IT! – Enthusiastic piece ;-), but nothing surprising. 5/10

THE SKULL – A good one! 6/10

VICTORY – As a final tune of the collection this happy tune serves very well. 6,5/10

This collection is a must! Definitely a valuable addition to sid-lover's collection.
