Today, let’s change things up a bit. If you’re in the mood for some amazing music that takes you back to the golden era of the Commodore Amiga, you should definitely check out the album ‘Amiga 40’. This album is a tribute to 40 years of the Amiga, crafted by legendary composer Allister Brimble. If you’re not familiar with him, this video below may help refresh your memory! 😉
Here’s what he has to say about the album: “This album is my tribute to 40 years of the Amiga, an incredible machine that played a significant role in my creative journey. It also pays homage to Martyn Brown, whose support opened the doors to game music for me. His contributions to Team17 defined a generation, and I attribute much of my path to his faith in my abilities. One track, ST-01, is something I’ve aspired to create for decades: a complete remake of the original SoundTracker instruments. I revisited the source samples, reworking them with care to capture not just the sound but the essence of those formative years.”
“This album is a celebration for anyone who remembers the excitement of booting up Workbench, the discovery of new mods, and the joy of making music on a machine that truly resonated with you. I hope it rekindles that sense of wonder.”
Interesting Fact: Allister’s career spans multiple generations of video games. His credits include the Team17 Amiga titles, the Driver series, the Rollercoaster Tycoon games, and more recently, The Plucky Squire, Power Wash Simulator, and Beyond The Ice Palace 2.
