Deflektor

Coolo - synthy techno 80's pop always pleases cheese-mongers like myself, especially when it's done with taste and talent. Chuck Dodgers ReMix of the classic Commodore64 gem 'Deflektor' plays with melody and harmony quite nicely and is a satisfying trip down memory lane for any of you that appreciate the yesteryears of synth-pop (anyone remember Bucks Fizz? Yazz? ^^). I wholeheartedly recommend it because it's not only catchy, but Chuck manages to milk a lot out of the central melody in various ways, making it attention-worthy throughout.

This seems way too repetitive - nothing really different is done throughout the song, and it got boring quick.

He just sent in the original song "Deflector" from the band Laserdance (which was also used in the game)!!
So this is no own created remix !!

I'm head-bopping with this one. It's definately happy, in a strangely epic way. Epic-happy? Does that exist? Somehow it does here.
Unfortunately things tend to get repetative after a while. Great song to have in the background, but not something to really focus on.
Epic-happy indeed.

This song is amazing! I don't know why, but I turned it on and immediately felt really happy. :D

This piece is so retro, and I enjoy it infinitely more than Mr. Dodger's other contribution to site lore. This is retro done right folks.

Inexplicably one of my favorite mixes on the site, this is like deep fried macaroni and cheese, hold the macaroni, and with extra cheese. I think the part that really appeals to me is the syncopated space in the bass synth, and the smooth transitions between the sections. Just a note that syncopated bass can defeat any sort of evil or win the prize in any sort of reality TV elimination show without even trying ( I would never exaggerate this for any reason).
There is also more going on besides just a verse chorus verse, with a post chorus, bridge, and then a variation on the chorus. The synths are old school but effective, and the drums aren't incredibly exciting but they do the job just fine.
Highly recommended.

Laserdance? Like the awesome 80's italo dance group?

- Chrono86 on March 8, 2005
This mix just makes me want to roll around places. There's got to be some flashing dance lights going on while I'm doing that too.
Yeah.

Well, my first remix in over 3 months. Glad it was this one. Since I first heard the Deflektor tune about a year ago (slow starter) I loved the sheer catchyness of it. Glad to see the remix manages to keep the catchyness. Nice one Chuck.

No one has reviewed this game in a year and a half. I really enjoyed this one. Very catchy, very fun, and quite listenable. I can't really explain it, but it's just a really fun piece.
Well, I hope you didn't wait a year and a half for [i]that[/i] review.
91/100

Sounds like something that would be on remix.kwed.org
Nice stuff going on here. Good chiptune. Variation is great until the middle, then everything from the first half seems to be used somewhere until the outro of the song which is a fadout including an unheard-from-the-other-parts-of-the-song loop. Not something I'd rush to my computer to quickly turn on in desperate need of me-inspiring music.
Chuck Dodgers...weird name...weird music selections...his bomberman one is a lot catchier and sets more of a video game style of song rather than something more professional, which this mix seems to be to me, like some 80's band who would happen to do a chiptune remix or something.

Deflektor 'Laser Dance'
Mr. Dodgers exposes us to a very happy blippy but cool mix from the game Deflektor. Ok panning here, quite a large amount of bass, and a good choice of instruments. Quite a few changes here too, although I probably would have preferred a few others to mix the song up a little more. It's a good listen, it's got fairly good mixing and the overall sound quality is pretty good. Synth orientated. I can't really think of anything else to say. Good work Chuck!
