Terra Cresta by Martin Galway pushed through a bunch of VSTs. I tried to imagine that VSTs were available at the time this was written in 1986, I think.

Martin Galway - Insects in Space (SIDelicious Mix)

We've all been there at some point - It hurts.

At some point the hurt will lessen.

I wrote this in 2007 or so. It took me until now to release it because I felt it was too personal, but it seems a universal thing to hurt.

Thank you for your votes! Ended up at #8 at Function, so most people there either are very happy people or cannot relate, but I am very happy to finally release this to the public.

Slaygon - Time Heals

Remix of "Image of Man" written by Doug DiPiero/Hal Strong

Image of Man : Jacked by DJJD

Spellbound by Emily Brontë

The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.

Shipyard Overture composed by Jean-Michel Jarre. The track is itself an updated version of Industrial Revolution Overture. Shipyard Overture was premiered by Jarre live in Gdasnk, Poland.

This version is performed by Howard R Farrar, using Logic Pro, Alchemy & Roland D50 (Roland Cloud)

Shipyard Overture

A remake of the legendary soundtrack for the Commodore 64 video game Cybernoid II. Originally composed and arranged (and now remade) by Jeroen Tel / Maniacs of Noise. (originally composed at age 16).

Pixel art by the legend Hugh Binns! :-)

Cbernoid II - The Revenge

Jeroen Tel - Cybernoid II The Revenge

Released at the Edison party in 2025. It ended up at #6 in the streaming music compo.

I started off this track with just a beat and a gnarly bassy sound. The beat itself is based on my memory of ZZ Top, and "sharp dressed man" in particular. The rest is basically just freestyling around that beat.

Train of Thought

Was seeing Jeroen Tel and Matt Gray remaking their old C64 tunes, as well as some Galway remakes from Gray, which I all love btw.

I already had this 'Mr Nord' setup lying around from previous track, so I just couldn't resist and try to recreate the magic from Martin Galway's Parallax title screen epic for myself.

I tried to stay true to the original as much as possible. Even play the original in the intro and outro as a backing track. But almost all elements are recreated on the Nord Lead 2x, as well as some additions and tricks from the Easily Embarrassed library to make it more of a 2015 worthy track.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Martin Galway - Parallax Title (Little Jester remake)

My Remix of Jean-Michel Jarre's brilliant track Oxygene Pt 14 from the 2016 album Oxygene 3. Do note this is not intended to be a cover of the original, and is provided as a remix for entertainment purposes only.

Please also note, all elements of this mix are performed by myself, and this does not contain any original instrumentation from Oxygene 14.

Also, I have tried to keep it just a little lighthearted :-)

Oxygene 14 (Lostsoul Remix)

This track was primarily composed of samples from 8Dio Symphonic Shadows. A deep-sampled music software instrument (VST/AU/AAX) by www.8dio.com

I Like Your Style

From Bonfire Stream 2017, my version of Jean-Michel Jarre's Chronology Part 1

Bonfire Stream 2017

Chronology 1

"Hiroyuki Sanada once said, 'There are those who want a swimming pool in the house, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a deep sense of loss, while others who hold them close often complain about them. Those who do not have a partner yearn for him, but those who have, sometimes do not value him. The hungry would give anything for a plate of food, while the well-fed complains about the taste. The one who doesn't have a car dreams, while the one who has one is always looking for a better one. The key is to be grateful, look carefully at what we have and understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what you already have and don't appreciate.”
