Friday, 2 November 2012


Allister Brimble has just launched a Kickstarter project for his new double album “The Amiga Works”. He will create up to date CD quality versions and remixes of his best musical works from the Commodore Amiga. The album artwork and an A2 poster will be designed by Rico Holmes who was the inspiration and artist behind the original Alien Breed series and other Team 17 games. Visit Allister’s Kickstarter page.

“

I have received many requests to create new versions of my tracks in the past, but I never felt I could improve on them.. until now. The technology exists to inspire me to create new versions of my tunes for these much loved games from the Commodore Amiga.

As big fans of his work over here at ExoticA we are very excited about this project. We recommend you get over to the project page now and make a pledge!
