Alternate Reality Intro Music Recreation Last Half - A euphoric melody remake of a 1980's RPG

Through all the years of playing games, what stands out the most isn't always the gameplay, but that soundtrack that plays in the background to set the tone of the game being played. The creepyness of Silent Hill, the upbeat tempo of Arkanoid on the C64, or even the melody of Zelda still playing in our minds to this day. So why am I mentioning this now? Well Jace Hall has found his musical love, as he has done a recreation of the melody of Alternate Reality - The City, an RPG type game released by the American company Datasoft in 1985-88 for a multitude of computers.

Something fresh this morning thanks to a heads up by our friendly remixer Aaron is Coppersky's Amiga music disk ' Coppersky Musicdisc ' which was released late yesterday. Unlike the usual scene demo tunes this one has many tracks converted over from some of the other popular systems of their time such as the MSX and the X68000. Tunes such as Bosconian - Little Wave from the X68000 converted by Martin Eriksson, Salamander from the MSX by Lo8its, and Andoroginus converted over from the MSX by Toni Galvez.

Overall though, this is a very decent remix that would sound great with a big Subwoofer, oh and if you're interested, they are making a sequel to the Trainspotting movie!

Indie Retro News & RGDS Podcast Amiga DOS Special!

I'm sure many of you will agree with me, but Aaron White is becoming a bit of a legend in the Amiga scene. He has done countless albums now going right back to 2014. From C64 remixes and 80's tracks, to Amiga PDs and even a more recent Sega Master System Hits Vol 1. But for me although these are mighty fine releases, I always like to challenge people to push their skills to the limit. So I said to him, " Can you convert PC MS-DOS tracks to the Amiga and if so, can you convert these? " Sure enough after some teasing over the weekend, here we have ' The Indie Retro News and RGDS Podcast Amiga DOS Special ' from Aaron White of RGDS Podcast. A small part 1 album, with remixed game soundtracks such as One Must Fall, Aladdin, Doom, Empire Civil War and The Lion King.

He was one of the most influential musicians of his era and did well known tunes such as Space Oddity, Starman and Ashes to Ashes. But now in tribute to David Bowie, Aaron White of RGDS has released the Amiga remix ' RGDS Podcast Presents - A Tribute To David Bowie (Little Wonder) '.

SL2 - On A Ragga Tip - Aaron White's latest sampled remix for the Amiga -

As my Amiga Forever 2016 gaming storage is nearly complete, I still haven't got around to testing out floppy disk based games or files such as ADF's. So a good test today was being able to run Aaron White of RGDS Presents latest sampled remix of a 1992 number 1 hit the charts, ' SL2 - On A Ragga Tip '. Although I was not a fan of this tune during it's high point, it is Aaron's and if anything it actually sounds better than the original. So download and listen and trip back to the 90's!

Two new 2016 Amiga remixes from daXX - Including The Secret of Monkey Island

What a great afternoon this is turning out to be as we've just learnt from our good friend Seppo from the Commodore Amiga Facebook group, of two new Amiga remixes that have been released by daXX. For those of you who don't still don't know who Bert Brüggemann (Aka daXX) is, he is a legend who creates both Amiga and C64 remixes that sound amazing to the ears! Already in the last few months he has done Bubba N Stix and Lotus III - Miami Ice but now he's moved onto The secret of Monkey Island and Pinball Dreams - Menu Theme. What a great start to 2016!

RGDS Podcast Presents - An Adamski Killer Remix by Aaron White (Amiga)

It's that time again when we mention another Aaron White remix presented by RGDS Podcast! Unlike the previous C64 to Amiga converted tunes and the Christmas album, he's gone back to his upbeat youth with even more Dance remixed samples from tunes that were played non stop on the radio way back in the 90's. This remix however is such a brilliant tune even I remember listening to it in my Mum's XR3i. It's none other than the number 1 smash killer from 1990 by Adamski, featuring Seal on Vocals. It's such a trip down memory lane, Aaron has filled the disk to the brim with samples coming in at over 4 mins long.... Oh and make sure to listen to the vocals, as they sound top!

DaXX : Founder of the Raveblasters - A very top quality retro gaming DJ (Amiga/C64)

It's an early morning wake up and what am I doing? Listening to some great tunes of course! Tunes by the legend that is Bert Brüggemann (Aka daXX), who creates both Amiga and C64 remixes that sound amazing every time he updates with a new release. As such he's done over 500 Amiga mods and remixes through the years, with Soundtracker and Protracker, rating him in my opinion one of the best re-mixers of our time.  He is one of my favourites and this week not only did he remix a new tune with daXX - Stardust Memories (Amiga Remix) but he also has a SoundCloud so you can listen to many more of his amazing tracks!

RGDS Presents - Enigma (Sadeness Part II) Panpipe Mix for the Amiga

Another day, another Aaron White Amiga release and this time it's the ' RGDS Presents - Enigma (Sadeness Part II) Panpipe Mix '. As always remixed by himself, this a sample remix of the massive number one hit in the early 90's of Enigma and Sadeness Part II, with it's mellow panpipe moods. The only downside to this Amiga disk, is the lack of a background image, but Aaron has mentioned that he just fitted this module onto the disk as it's totally packed, thus the sound module is 791k just on it's own! In regards to the special which we hinted at before, that is still on it's way, lets just hope that he puts the samples aside for a little while and focuses on that, as it's going to be one of the best by far!

RGDS Presents - Aaron White's Amiga Jamiroquai (Space Cowboy Club Mix)

It's the weekend and that means it's time for another Aaron White release from our good friends RGDS, who do cool podcasts with lots of retro chat. In this sample track for your Amiga, Aaron White has taken us back in time to the 90's with none other than Space Cowboy from Jamiroquai in RGDS Presents - Jamiroquai's (Space Cowboy Club Mix) remixed by Aaron White, which was all sampled on an Amiga 1200. If you remember the original, then this remix is as good as it gets, it's just shame that I never liked the song artist, his dress style or the awful original.

A double track Amiga special from Aaron White

While we wait for the epic Aaron White special that hopefully will appear before Christmas, he's decided to take some time out and work on a couple of sample disks for the Amiga, that many of you may remember of during the 90's dance scene. The first one is the ' Urban Cookie Collective ' - ' The Key the Secret ' in loving memory of Diane Charlemagne, with all the samples done by himself, Aaron White. Which if I remember correctly of the original, was always played on the Radio, while my Mum drove me about in her XR3i!
