AmiGamer - Odyssey Parts 2 and 4

I don't know about you, but I think the Odyssey background music beats anything that has ever been heard on an Amiga. Greg of Alcatraz has really outdone himself here, creating seven addictive masterpieces.

This, of course, creates quite a problem for a remixer: How do you remix a piece of music that is absolutely perfect the way it is? Even the slightest change means almost inevitably a loss of quality.

So, after years (really!) of hesitating to put my hands on this music, I decieded the only way to go was to stick close to the original while improving the techniqal quality (okay, the Amiga rocks when it comes to sound but qith today's technology, things still can be made much better), adding a few things here and there and keeping the re-arranging on a low level.

I still felt the way that Peter Jackson must have felt when  he decided to film "Lord of the Rings"

I picked my personal favourite songs of Odyssey (2 and 4) for my remix.

Song was arranged, recorded and played on a Korg X3 workstation with additional use of the Kristal Audio sequencer. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy it!
