8bit Is Enough are releasing the soundtrack to 1991 NES game The Fantastic Adventures Of Dizzy (also known as just Fantastic Dizzy) on vinyl.
The release will be a single picture disc LP. It will be housed in a clear plastic sleeve and will be a limited pressing of 250 copies.
It is priced at €25 and is scheduled to release around April 28, 2023. It can be preordered from 8bit Is Enough here.
Composer Matt Gray have launched a new Reformation Kickstarter campaign of arranged game music. There is no vinyl campaign for the new Reformation 5 album (yet at least), but there are two new vinyl offers – a new remake of music from The Last Ninja 2 (not identical to the previously released album), as well as a remake album of music from the first The Last Ninja game.
The Last Ninja 2 will be a single LP picture disc release, while The Last Ninja will be a 2LP picture disc release. Both will be housed in jackets with new art.
The Last Ninja 2 is £60 and The Last Ninja is £74, but there is also a £120 bundle including both albums. The campaign runs from now and until April 7, 2022. If successful The Last Ninja 2 is scheduled to release in May, 2024 and The Last Ninja in April, 2023.
The campaign can be backed on Kickstarter here.
Composer Matt Gray have launched a new Kickstarter campaign for the next album in his Reformation series of remakes of music from C64 and Amiga games.
Confirmed tracks for this album so far are from the C64 games Times Of Lore, The Last Ninja, Yie Ar Kung Fu 2, Delta, Skate Or Die, Shockway Rider, Retrograde and Ocean Loader 5. Music from the Amiga games Turrican 2 and Test Drive 2 have also been confirmed.
If the campaign is successful the vinyl release will be a 3LP and will be limited to 250 copies.
The vinyl tier is £50 (with some higher tiers also including the vinyl release) and is scheduled to release in March, 2022.
The campaign aims to raise £23,000 and will end on July 20, 2020. It can be backed on Kickstarter here.
And of course it also includes a vinyl option! After a very succesful (albeit slightly delayed) Kickstarter for his Reformation Last Ninja 2 remake project, Matt Gray have now launched a new Kickstarter for a new remake project.
Reformation 2 is based on a stretch goal from the first Reformation project, where Gray did remakes of tracks from other C64 composers. This means that Reformation 2 will be an entire album of remakes from other composers than Gray himself. The tracks aren’t set in stone, but according to the Kickstarter Gray is hoping to remake music from games such as Commando, Comic Bakery, Monty On The Run, Nemesis The Warlock, and more.
The vinyl version will be a black vinyl 2LP and also comes with FLAC and MP3 downloads of all tracks.
The Kickstarter launched today, April 8, 2017, and will end on April 30, 2017. If the campaign is succesful then vinyl rewards are planned to go out in September 2018 (and downloads in May 2018).
