In 2011, Maz Sound released Immortal 4, a two disc album with Amiga videogame music. The album has a runtime of 158 minutes and contains 35 familiar videogame tunes, all of them beautifully remastered. The final track is a recording of a Wing Commander song, performed live by none other than Team FAT. Maz Sound has announced that they are shutting down their shop on December 28, so this is your last chance to pick up a copy.









Amiga videogame music 20 years later: Songs newly interpreted by original authors

The Double-CD Immortal 4 is the 4th strike of the popular Immortal series. Once again producer Jan Zottmann managed to gather the celebrities of the golden homecomputer age of the Commodore Amiga and to let them re-arrange the unforgettable music of legendary computer games using all the latest studio technology. The catchy melodies once played by a handful of 8 bit samples now experience their rebirth in a colorful mixture ranging from a complete rock band to the fully-fletched synthesizer-setup.

The two filled-to-the-brim CDs of Immortal 4 feature no less than 35 newly arranged songs (about 158 minutes) of Amiga videogame music. Most of them have been created by their original authors - trademark of the Immortal series. We couldn't even stop them to play live-instruments, you'll become earwitness when Al Lowe himself (Leisure Suit Larry) is playing the saxophone, Jon Hare (Cannon Fodder) being back at the microphone and Dave Govett (Wing Commander) hitting the drums.

Numerous classics have been rearranged, such as Lemmings (Tim Wright), Turrican 2 (Chris Hi? 1/2 lsbeck), Flashback (Jean Baudlot), Gauntlet 3 (Tim Follin), F17 Challenge (Nicola Tomljanovich) and many more. Exclusive new versions were contributed by well-known demoscene musicians, such as Romeo Knight (at the guitar too) and Jogeir Liljedahl.

It's a cool CD - I guarantee there's something on there for any 90s gamer!

If folks are interested in the WC track, it's actually the "surf theme" version performed live at CES in 1991 (I think?) The same track appears on three WC albums, including the digital-only Wing One and probably the rarest of all something called "Water Logged," which was an edition of an annual surf music compilation.
