All the babbling, train whistling and applause removed. I even found Minx or Raptures voice hidden behind that guitar solo.

The Stingers - It's A Hard Hard Life (Kai Woodland Mix)

Jem & The Holograms - Like A Dream (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

This one was quite a b*tch. Too loud, too long, too bassy, too crisp, too everything. I'm not entirely sure I got the right balance, but for now it'll have to do. 

With 1:44 min this is the longest song of the show. Ok, two repeats, but that's how it was presented in the episode 'Disaster'.

The Misfits - Takin' It All (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

The Stingers - Take It Or Leave It (Kai Woodland Mix)

Ok, not the best mix, but then I had practically almost nothing to work with.

The Stingers - Let Me Be (Kai Woodland Mix)

I guess now is as good as time as any to post this track. I won't get more out of it. This is my alltime 'fear' song, because the quality will never match my other mixes. Anyone with a perfect ear around to produce a new instrumental? ;)

Jem & The Misfits & The Stingers - This Is Farewell (Kai Woodland Mix)

At first I wanted to present this song in it's original length, as it was released on the doll tapes. But it was just too long and too repetitive, so I shortened it a little. 

Jem & The Holograms - She's Got The Power (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

I added a new beginning to the song. The original version is quite dry at the start. I'm not entirely happy with the quality of the voice track, but compared to the original quality of the song this upmix sounds quite good.

I think I'm gonna leave this right here and let you decide.

The Stingers - Are You Feeling Allright (Kai Woodland Mix)

I removed all the sound effects out of the instrumental. Yay! :)

The Stingers - All In The Style (Kai Woodland Mix)

For this one I've streched, shrank and transposed parts of the instrumental. I've managed to edit most, but not all of the sound effects out. I have the feeling I've created that instrumental out of three notes. Hope you'll enjoy this song in a clarity you've never heard before.

Jem & The Holograms & The Stingers - Believe/ Don't Believe (Kai Woodland Mix)

The Stingers - Mindgames (Kai Woodland Mix)

I used different audio sources for the song to get all the effects out. I also created a seperate backup track, which gives the song more depth. Not a master tape version, but close.

This is for Gerry, sing it gurl! ;)

Jem & The Holograms - Nightmare (Kai Woodland Mix)

I've never guessed this song was so hard to remaster. All sources for the instrumental weren't very good to put it nicely. Too damp, too echoey, lots of replacement needed. Took me a week to get this clean version done.

The Misfits - Congratulations (Kai Woodland Mix)

Jem & The Holograms - Glitter And Gold (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

It's always a surprise separating tracks, sometimes treasures are hidden in the complete mix. This one had the backup singers in the instrumental, giving this new mix a mastertape feeling. 

Jem & The Holograms - I Got My Eye On You (Kai Woodland Mix)

I apologize for the delay on the instrumental. I took the two background channels of the DVD release, because the front channels were full of cheering people.

Jem & The Holograms - Let Me Take You To the Mardi Gras (Kai Woodland Mix)

A StarliteJem / Kai Woodland exclusive!

I've been hunting the vinyl single with the french extended theme song in stereo for a while now. I just bought it some days ago. The B side of the single has the extended instrumental version on it. I aligned it with the original voices and this is the result. A mix never been heard or done before.

Jem & The Holograms - Theme Song Extended (Kai Woodland Mastertape/Stereo Mix)

The instrumental from the masters somehow had variable speed, so aligning this with the voicetrack was real fun. Some parts in the voicetrack have been replaced with the DAT version of the song. Quite a patchwork, but I hope it won't show.

Jem & The Holograms - Who Is He Kissing? (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

Too many sources, none of them really perfect. I mixed together what I think sounded best. Hope you all like ;)

The Misfits - Universal Appeal (Kai Woodland Mix)

This one was quite difficult to master. The drums were way too loud compared to the rest of the instrumental, so major loudness editing was needed. The instrumental also has no 'live song' feeling anymore ;)

Jem & The Holograms - Beat This (Kai Woodland Mix)

About 2 years ago, I've uploaded this song to my youtube channel. I thought it needed a little more love. I partly used different sources I didn't have back then. Hope it shows.

Jem & The Holograms - It All Depends On The Mood I'm In (Kai Woodland ReRemaster 2k16)

This version has been long overdue. I didn't know what I was thinking when I uploaded the first version of it on my youtube channel, but you may compare. Guess I've still got some replacing to do in the future. :)

Jem & The Holograms - Love Is Doin' It To Me (Kai Woodland ReRemaster 2K16)

Ever wanted to drive down the motorway in full speed and listen to this song in good quality? Now's your chance :) 

Some heavy editing went into this, to get almost all the disturbing sound effects out of the voice track and the instrumental. I couldn't manage to remove all, because the song only appears once in the show and some parts couldn't be replaced. Have fun. :)K.

The Misfits - Let's Blown This Town (Kai Woodland Mix)

Not entirely satisfied. I know, I'm my own worst judge again, so I let others decide.
Now that you actually hear the instrumental, there's still a lot of buzzing I just couldn't remove. I'm not paying any medical bill if your ears bleed, when you listen with too much volume ;)

Jem & The Holograms & The Beast - Let Me Go (Kai Woodland Mix)

I'm sure Nicola Tesla would have had fun with this song. Lot's of buzzing I couldn't remove, but at least the sound of that nasty chair is history. Be kind to me, I had practically nothing to create an intro to this song.

Jem & The Holograms - You'll Never Win My Love (Kai Woodland Mix)

I think this version could be a Jem premiere on Soundcloud. 
I somehow managed to isolate the voicetrack and align it with the master tape instrumental, creating a version never heard before. I don't exactly know how I did it, but the result sounds fine and it's without those anoying fire sound effects. Sometimes you just shouldn't ask how it's done, but enjoy the finished product. :)

Jem & The Holograms - Jealousy (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

I was afraid to remaster this a little, because seeing Kimber in my mind remembering her father from her youth was very, maybe too close to home for me.

Jem & The Holograms - Something Is Missing In My Life (Kai Woodland Mix)

Since some of my early youtube uploads needed a little more love, I decided to start with this one. Category is... balance! New remasters coming soon. ;)

The Stingers - Under My Spell (Kai Woodland ReRemaster2k16)

With only a few more to choose from, I'll give you one of the Jem masters..

Krissie - You May Be A Star (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

Who ever said motorcycles add to a song? They don't. It was quite a patchwork and I've lost some of Jettas unique Saxophone on the road, but here's a motorcycle-free version.

The Misfits - Free And Easy (Kai Woodland HQ Mix)

Let's pump some good, motivational vibes into the New Year! :)

Ashley - I Can See Me A Star (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

This version is mixed from one of the few DAT recordings of the show. So, no disturbing noises by racing cars or rabbits poppin' outta books. Also this is the original length of the song. No extended parts or cuts, like we've seen in the two episodes it was featured in. You're welcome ;)

The Misfits - Ahead Of The Game (Kai Woodland DAT Mix)

After a little break, let's get on with the remaining songs of the show. ;)

Jem & The Holograms - Jam All Night Long (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

Usually I upload different versions of one song on the same day, anyway this one needed a little more cooking.
This time I edited some ambiance in, instead of out, to give it a "live" feeling, and bring it closer to the version of the show. But this time the transition from the intro to the song is on beat. The version of the episode wasn't. I hope this sounds like one piece. :)

Jem & The Holograms - Jam All Night Long With Introduction (Kai Woodland Mastertape/HQ Mix)

Nothing much to say about this title, eh? ;)

The Misfits - Jack, Take A Hike (Kai Woodland Mastertape Mix)

Another example how a 30 year old doll tape instrumental and the DVD voices can mix. Hope you'll enjoy. 17 songs remain...

The Misfits - Welcome To The Jungle (Kai Woodland HQ Mix)

It has been 3 years since I uploaded my last remaster. Yes, a lot has happened, in the world and in my personal life. This song has been in the pipeline for some time now, but I never found the right situation to upload it. 

What better way to celebrate the election and hope for better days. For the world, for all of us. (16 songs remain...)

Jem & The Holograms - Safe And Sound (HQ)

Remastered, remixed and re-edited versions of the songs from the 80's cartoon Jem. This is a non profit project I'm doing for myself, and many others who also love Jem and The Holograms.

I strongly recommend using headphones or speakers for listening to these songs. Some of the effects used don't sound well squeezed through a mono source.

Please realize I've spent hours, days, weeks and sometimes even years to make them sound as they do now, without any personal gain. Taking them without permission, and claiming them their own, or selling them on ebay is NOT COOL!

Now have fun listening, and remember... doing the right thing.. makes you.. a superstar!
