This would be more fitting in a C64/Amiga arena than here but I'm sure some of you remember some of the greatest pieces of game music from the Turrican games (2 being my favorite). With games like Apidya, Giana Sisters and many other memorable soundtracks under his belt, I think Hülsbeck is one of the greatest game composers we hvae, although in recent years he seems to have done less game composing.

Backed 60$. I love Turrican soundtrack. Played it long time ago on my Amiga 500.

25 bucks for quite a huge digital compilation is ok while 50 bucks for a disc set is really nothing to complain about. Look at what you have to pay for those Final Fantasy boxes, for example.

No flac, no sale.  |
only nerds, geeks, and audiophiles love flac. en masse prefers mp3s. simple. give flac to a typical mp3 user, they'll complain about the file size and wont even notice the quality difference. why offer flac to people who may not even be aware of flac.

Eh, I used to love his music but I have no interest in an orchestral re-recording. Have all the original Amiga chiptunes + a ton of remixes from amigaremix.com that's all I need.

not related to the OST:
guys, why don't you just create one thread for all those new kickstarter projects? I think that would be a good idea?

i have to say, good sound track or not, $75,000 is A LOT to ask for nothing more than a handful of bad (encoding) quality chiptunes, it'd be less unreasonable if they were at least putting them on physical media |
I agree completely about the physical media aspect, charging so much money for digital remasters is just... icky. Though I do understand why this kind of thing is good on a kickstarter - the OST side of the business has plummeted over the last decade or so, when it used to be huge. It used to be that I could walk into a game store and see racks of OSTs from videogames, but now? Now they barely even exist, let alone finding them in a bricks and mortar store.

honestly, i do have to admit, i am biased, i can't justify buying CDs or music in general except in special cases where i do it solely to help the band, i just can't think of a single game soundtrack i've liked either, especially not to the point of wanting to be able to hear that music other places, i always turn the music off because it annoys me for the most part unless the game lets you use your own mp3s.

And I'm biased, leaning towards the other camp; game OSTs are pretty much my favourite music =)
