Ahh, nice. About the best you could remix this tune, I think. If I have anything more coherent to add, I'll say it tommorrow.

EDIT: It's obviously tommorrow now. Anyway, I'd say this is probably my favorite mix of the past few months. It's pretty obvious to hear the Kraftwerk influence here, and it's done while still staying nostalgic (that high pitched synth is so great :) ) and mixing in some pretty neat jazz piano in here and there.

Analoq also gets bonus points for the fake German accent on the "Goodbye Galaxy" part. The only thing that tops that is the piano part at the end, which is perfect.

So yes. Great job overall, and nice work expanding upon the original and fitting it into this genre while still doing it justice. That's something that I really think was missing from his Doom mix (but then again, I love the original to this a lot more than the original Doom tune for that mix). All in all, this is probably my favorite thing analoq has done.

Yes! Commander Keen! I used to play this game all the time!

On to the mix. I love it. Another very chill mix for the night of OCR4. That first lead synth is so nostalgic. Awesome job, analoq.

Aha, sweet. Awesome. Very nice mix - put a big ol' smile on my face. I played these games way back when, but seeing a mix here caused a little of the "oh - wait - I played that game, I remember, but... dang I can't remember the music". And the mix brought it all back, thank you!

Dang, I've mixed a ton of Robert Prince stuff, yet I forgot he did this. Heh, neato.

I haven't played this game either, but it doesn't keep me from enjoying this great mix! I'm always a big fan of analoq's mixes and this one is no exception. Everything sounds great, especially all the crazy computered-out vocals. Thanks!!

THANK YOU ANALOQ!!!! :D :D :D Ok I got that outta my system. This mix bring back much memories. Commander Keen was the bomb, for most of us who had computers during the pre-pentium period, and has to be one of the best games ever, great game play, great music.

Gotta say, I am never dissapointed when analoq releases a new mix. He is by far my favorite remixer. Not sure what it is, though I'm inclined to say it is the personality of his mixes that make me worship them so intently.

I loved the Commander Keen games and I love this song. That lead synth was a great choice and gives this whole mix an airy, transporting quality to it.

Part1 (beginning to 3:06):
Good groove (bass, rhodes, and rythm),
excellent synth and even better piano!
I also like the beat break @2:11,
BUT:
I really do not like the intro (30 first seconds);
I'm sorry, I can not stand the voice there.

Part 2 (3:06 to 4:14):
excellent Kratfwerk-like arrangement with
original and perfect vocoder.
I also find the arpeggiator sehr gut.

Part3 (4:15 to end)
nothing negative to say about that old piano ending.

Very, very, very good mix, IMHO.
