This is a legitimate question... Some musicians manage to capture the spirit of the original music and bring it even further, or take it an unexpected way. Some kind of lose the original feeling. Some remixes albums are fantastic, some don't add much, and some are very disappointing because they turn unique chip music into a standard product.

I'm a big fan of the Immortal series for instance

In this specific case, I have no idea what the result will be. Frontier played by a real orchestra is supposed to sound the way the author initially wanted it to sound like.

I was initially rather interested in albums made by ex-Amiga musicians from the demoscene or gaming scene. There were many of them in the late 90s-early 2000s. Early Bjorn Lynne (Dr Awesome) studio albums are fantastic, and composed on the Amiga with Music-X and a MIDI gear. They are new compositions but manage to keep the feeling of the scene, with better equipment. Nowadays, this time is so far away, there are rather remixes than new Amiga-scene-inspired compositions. (I hope some of you will show me wrong !) Maybe that's related to the fact there are virtually no technical limits nowadays ? Or maybe other scenes took over. Or maybe there are so many sub-cultures now, none of them really shines. Opinions ? Thoughts ? Links ? :-)
