Announcement: Instant Remedy / Immortal 4

[LauriT]

This is great. Really looking forward to these cd's. I've been waiting for so long Martin/IR to release new remixes. Can't wait. I'm very excited that Lotus 2 and Project X will be included. Excellent choices

Here comes just a short reminder that our little "Immortal 4" competition (see above) is about to end in three days... to be honest, I haven't received a whole lot of answers until now, so why not give it a try? All you have to do is download the mp3 drum track and send me a PM with the title of the game. Come on ye game music experts - it's not that hard!

Its one of those things, where you either know it or you dont, and going by just a drum track, does not make it any easier. I've listened to it over and over and over and I have no clue where its from.

[Thornado]

Well...I just gave it a try...I'm not sure if my answer is correct, but somehow it sounds correct to me

[Vosla]

Well, I am thrilled to what that drums belong to. I have no clue.

[Jim Power]

OK, so here is the solution to our little music quiz: The drum track from the mp3 preview belongs to... "LED Storm" by Tim Follin. Not too many board members submitted a proposal though... it seems the task was somewhat tougher than Jogeir and I had initially imagined. We have therefore decided to give away free downloads of "Out of Silence" to EVERYONE who was brave enough to participate in the compo - congratulations, guys!

Great news!! I own the Immortal CDs and was hoping to see a new one someday...

Just in case you didn't see the announcement on the 'general conversation' board:

Jan Zottmann, executive producer of the acclaimed "Immortal" series (http://www.amiga-immortal.com) of CDs featuring arranged music from games released for the Commodore Amiga, and composer Jolyon Myers are looking for a talented arranger to work on a CD version of the music from the Amiga version of "Final Fight". The game was more or less a direct conversion of Capcom's arcade classic, but it featured an entirely different score written by Myers. You can download this music from http://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Final_Fight or listen to it on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQsVhlI3eH0).

Jan says: "This is your chance to become a member of the 'Immortal' team and publish your arrangement of 'Final Fight' on an album that features musicians such as Chris Huelsbeck, Andrew Barnabas, Allister Brimble, and many others". Participating artists are free to choose the style of the arrangement on their own, the final track should have a running time of at least 4 minutes though. Demos should be submitted in mp3 format to jzottmann(at)synsoniq.com no later than August 31. Jolyon Myers will personally select the best entry (and eventually give some input for the production of the final version which has to be submitted late September / early October 2009). Runner-ups will receive a credit in the CD booklet as well as a free copy of the "Immortal 4" album. There will also be an opportunity to present these arrangements on the AmigaRemix platform (http://www.amigaremix.com).

Jolyon says: "It's an honor that the Final Fight theme has been chosen for placement on the latest 'Immortal' CD as Jan has always brought together really talented musicians to re-create fantastic blasts from the past in a new and innovative way. I can't wait to hear what you guys do with this track and hopefully it will be you that gets your remix on the disc!"

Now, finally my page is up and a Amiga remix teaser is also ready for everybody who is curious about the project.

Phew, the site was quite a hassle but these things takes time to get into. It's not ´97 anymore...
Big thanks to Hazel for helping me out with the webstuff.

I think I'm gonna post this in another part of the forum as well.

Ey up!

I guess it's easy to say I knew the answer after it was given, but since Jogeir has already covered much of Tim Follin's work in the past, in module form, I made an educated guess that it would be from L.E.D. Storm - and I haven't even listened to the music!

It's a shame you didn't advertise this on ExoticA's forum too. Lots of Amiga music fans lurk there...

Of course, I'll be buying both albums.
