C64 orchestra now also outside of the Netherlands

[FFRenzy]

For those that live outside of the Netherlands, and want to see the C64 orchestra, it seems they will be playing at the Forma Nova Festival in Fredericia, Denmark on Juli 14th. ( according to their myspace page, can't see them on the page of the festival itself yet ).

Can anyone tell me if there exist any downloadable or buyable recordings of songs played by the C64 orchestra? Because yesterday I happened to see the slay radio banner on top of this message board saying: "Do what 176 others do right now! Go retro! Artist: The C64 orchestra" But I came to late to listen, the next song was already playing.

So can anyone tell me where to get the stuff?

They're apparently releasing a CD later this year: I've been approached with the questions about the licencing.

An excerpt from their myspace page :

Interesting.
I guess you will inform us when the CD arrives, Chris.

Any progress so far?

I've heard nothing.

I got the following mail in my e-mail box:

After massive response we got from fans all over the world, the BIG question is: when will the cd be released? We release the cd called RUN 10 at 12 November 2007.........it's a limited release and it's gonna be a great piece of art! Not only the artwork is something else, but it is a 2 cd's release with on the first one the c64 orchestra recordings and on the second cd the original c64 music tunes, interviews, live footage and more.
But most important, on RUN 10 we will be releasing zip files from the c64 orchestra recordings of Monty ON the Run. This allows you to make your own remix, using the separate tracks of the ensemble. Send us the remixes you have made and this will be the start of the new cd called RUN 20. This cd will have the 20 most outstanding remixes we got back from you.
After RUN 10 is released we will upload more zipped recordings of the orchestra to our website.

Our record company is: Rounder Europe http://www.continental.nl and we are powered by: NCRV, Dutch public broadcaster http://www.ncrv.nl

Seems the project is still running and found some back-up. The NCRV also co-produced the dutch Games In Concert sessions last year in Utrecht and this year during the Lowlands festival.
