We're moving on and crossing the timeline when the boys and girls from Liverpool switched from Amiga to console gaming, especially the PlayStation. For example, they created WipEout, the first new media sensation which made video games interesting to a broader audience. This episode includes tunes from games which brought Psygnosis fame after their Amiga era has ended and before they lost their name to become Sony Studio Liverpool. Information about the unreleased music included here: Assault Rigs 2: "I did write some music for the sequel but the game eventually was dropped." (Stuart Duffield) Damij - Shoki: "The track 'Shoki' was from a 3D fighting game called 'Damij' (it was almost completed, but was dropped and ended up not being released). The track has some background noise - it was recorded using 8-track tape and hasn't been remastered at all." (Stuart Duffield) Drakan: "Here are some unused tunes from Drakan and Drakan 2 which I got kicked off a few months into it..." (Barry Leitch) BitFellas - there's some owlsome music in the air.

The beautiful synthesizer soundtracks for the series were created by Chris Huelsbeck, arguably one of today's most popular game music composers in the world. His music certainly played a major role in shaping "Turrican" into a digital legend over the years. Chris has recently announced plans to bring the cosmic warrior back from retirement, with the production of a "Soundtrack Anthology" - an epic limited edition box set of no less than four CDs, which will feature almost every melody from the saga in newly arranged and recorded versions! More information on this box set, which will only be available until June 3rd, 2012, can be found at www.turricansoundtrack.com. Almost two decades after the last "Turrican" title was released, BitJam pays tribute to these games and their wonderful music with a dedicated podcast episode. Featured tracks include remixes by Chris himself, as well as a selection of fan arrangements, handpicked by Huelsbeck and the co-producers of his "Turrican Soundtrack Anthology". Mixing by Vincenzo, logo #151 by H2O, compiled by Chris Huelsbeck, Jan Zottmann & Thomas Böcker. Thank you to Bobic for his help! 01. Chris Huelsbeck - Turrican Anthology Teaser Demo 02.
