Turrican Soundtrack Anthology - Kickstarter (Funded)

[Zeether]

I'm putting down $25 for the digital copy. Love Turrican's music.

[guyot]

And we're funded. Huzzah!

Hopefully there'll end up being enough excess for the fourth disc.

[Friendly]

Great news!

[mrsmiley381]

High fives all around, everybody. We just supported the fine art of music. Badass nineties Aimiga music.

[CStarFlare]

75 grand seems pretty ambitious

guess they showed me

KS update - 4th disc looks very likely, new tier added.

It sounds tempting, but I'd really like to see what the hell it looks like. Of course, we won't know for a while. So now I have to question if I want to bump up my pledge. Decisions, decisions.

Chris also seems like the coolest guy ever. He just likes making his music and being generally boss as hell.

4th cd funding goal's been passed.

[antares]

I asked Chris if ALL the music from the games will be included on the stick and he replied it will indeed include all tracks form Turrican 1, 2, 3 (Amiga), Super Turrican 1 + 2, Mega Turrican and a few selected tracks from the C64 games! woohoo!!!

...but not on CD?

...but not on CD?

Does it matter? Who's using CDs in this day and age? I can't even remember the last time I played an audio CD. I create mp3s (and/or FLAC files) of all CDs so I can keep all my music in one place, easily and quickly access and transfer it to mp3 players and other devices as needed.
I assume that's what most people do. Simply create a backup if you worry about losing the files.

Are you serious? I can easily download most Turrican tunes for free, legal. I demand them on CD, that's what makes this project special. Besides the orchestra tunes there won't be anything new anyway.

I'm glad it will feature 4 CDs now though, thank you huelsbeck!!

I hate this thread / you cost me $75.

Same here.

They announced a mechanical musical box that would play 'The Great Bath' - unfortunately it got caught in my spam folder for a number of hours. That number of hours was enough for all of them to sell out at $1500 each...

Yeah, I would have bought one.

Another nice CD Box Set project with Huelsbeck music, main ST was composed by Andre Neumann though.

I'm a bit dicey on the Dux KS, wasn't overly impressed with Fast Striker and as far as I know, Dux generally got slated. But damn, the DC box looks pretty... Anyways I threw $50 at the Turrican set, though original recordings of the Amiga music is tempting me at another 25.

When I pledged, the KS site offered me an option to skip signing up and pledge via my Amazon account i now want to up the pledge, but that option seems to have vanished, and there's no mention on my Amazon account either. Anyone?

While on the turrican kickstarter page:
Manage pledge(blue button under number of days to go)
Change your pledge amount(remember to also change your reward selection tier if that's what you want to do, it will not do so automatically).
Scroll down to the bottom of the page
Hit continue
Then it should go through the amazon process you did previously.

Found it in the end, seems I have to log into Kickstarter with my Amazon details, which it's automatically set me up a login with, which is slightly perturbing.

first track of the anthology, The Final Challenge, is available for download to anyone who pledged (if you are reading and haven't shelled 5$ on this project yet, what's wrong with you?)

[RaidenViper]

I love it! My favorite track in the game

Looking forward for more

[Strider77]

They added 4 more musical boxes today at 7pm CEST. All four were gone within 20-25 seconds, but one of them went to me

What's wrong with me is that I'm wondering why he needed $75,000 to record stuff off old consoles. I would expect it's expensive, but more in the range of half that. Granted the orchestral part will be very expensive, but wasn't that being billed as an extra anyway?

Also, HVSC and consoles work just great for me. Happy it's being done, of course!

I think you've got it the wrong way: the 3CD set (well, now 4 CD set) is entirely composed of new arrangements of the Turrican soundtracks. Basically the Amiga trilogy is completely re-scored with modern instruments. The recording straight from consoles is only for the optional USB drive which will contain the original sound versions, and that wasn't in the original plan, it was something that they came up with later, to meet fans' demands.

There's a live stream going on with Huelsbeck etc. http://de.justin.tv/chris_huelsbeck#/w/3187479040
