It took almost four years to complete Immortal 3. Arguably one of the most
ambitious European game music projects to date, this massive double CD has been
published by synSONIQ Records and features over 150 minutes of arranged music from
no less than classic 35 Amiga games. Jan Zottmann was at the helm of production
again, this time supported by Thomas Böcker of Merregnon Studios. Artists such
as Jason Page, Olof Gustafsson, Tim Bartlett and Jim Cuomo joined `Immortal'
veterans like Brimble, Leitch or Lynne. Series creator Ruben Monteiro made a
guest appearance as an arranger. The CDs were finally mastered at Pauler Acoustics,
the very same studio Chris Hülsbeck used in 1993 to master his legendary
'Turrican' soundtrack. A particular musical highlight of the album is certainly
the epic live orchestral recording of Hülsbeck's `Apidya' main title which
was also performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra when
`Immortal 3' exclusively premiered on June 14, 2006 in Stockholm
during a concert of `PLAY! A Video Game Symphony', the first symphony world
tour featuring music from blockbuster video games.
