The release of the double-CD
Immortal 4 will be 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 rearrange the unforgettable music of legendary computer games using all the latest studio technology.
The full-to-the-brim Double-CD set
Immortal 4 features no less than 35 newly arranged songs (about 150 minutes) of Amiga game music. Most of them have been created by their original authors - trademark and good tradition 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 Hülsbeck),
Flashback (Jean Baudlot),
Gauntlet 3 (Tim Follin),
F17 Challenge (Nicola Tomljanovich) and many more. Exklusive new versions were contributed by legendary demoscene musicians, such as
Romeo Knight (at the guitar too) and
Jogeir Liljedahl.
The catchy melodies once played by a handful of 8 bit samples on the Amiga now experience their rebirth in a colorful mixture ranging from a complete rock band to the fully-fletched synthesizer-setup. For consistently brilliant audio quality the CD mastering was done by
Pauler Acoustics again, just as the
predecessor.
They Not only did they master the legendary 'Turrican' album by Chris Huelsbeck in 1993 already, their
Mastering reference list reads like the Who's Who of Rock and Pop music.
Planned CD release date is Q4 this year, expected price will be 24,95 Euro (MSRP). In the first month the CD will be exclusively available through the online shop
www.maz-sound.com, so as a preorderer you'll get the CD at the earliest possible date.
