Exactly what I thought- as I'd already said in response to someone else's upload:- "Wow- that intro music is about as good a pastiche of early-1970s progressive rock as anyone's likely to manage on the Amiga. Hammond organ, mock celtic bits, etc... you can practically imagine Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson playing the keyboard solo at [ 0:53 on this version ] on a Minimoog or something. :-) Interesting that I can't recall many (any?) other games doing anything so clearly in that style- you'd have thought the sort of people working in games development at that time would be more inclined towards that, but I'd guess it's quite hard to pull off that style effectively on a sample-based machine."
Sheik Habibi i'd like to get a hold of these samples and pump them up a bit to do a remaster of some sort. the composition is very cool but unlike in plok or what have you the sounds don't really pop out at all. it might be a side effect of the whole hard-panning thing the amiga had?
"Around August 2005, Follin announced on his website "with much delight" that he had chosen to stop composing music for video games, citing its irregular work not providing a substantial income, light-heartedly adding that the situation caused him "distress and illness." The tenuous nature of game development caused several instances of Follin being hired and subsequently having the project shelved." -Wikipedia entry for Tim Follin
Not as fantastic as the C64 version's title screen but still awesome Follin stuff. Would it be wrong if we should call this genre of music Follin Prog?
Tim Follins music is always a technical delight. Most of his pieces like this I'd say are more that than any real delivery of theme or indeed real melody but they are still highly impressive considering the limits. Led Storm is a better example of music

First time listening to this.
I have relistened at least 7 times in the same day.
*I LOVE THIS MAN*
Progressive rock in a video game?? I approve!!!!

One of the coolest things I've ever heard.
I think Tim has actually now invented metal-prog. I'm very OK with this.
TEHMEGAMASTAH
In hindsight, I think Rush could be called that as well, with some of their stuff. Oh well. Still awesome.
+Guy A. Person watchtower kinda did the thrash metal prog thing before DT. but queensryche was before that
Actually Tim (and consequently his brother Geoff) were heavily influenced in prog metal.
@@GuyAPersonI'm thinking King Crimson
This is a bop
fancy seeing you here, also I agree
@@Waterbottlez_ I’m a huge Tim Follin fan
Tim was definitely having a Tony Banks day when he wrote this.
background part on right channel at 2:27 is from tales of the topographic ocean by YES, follins was a bit too much inspired by it I think...
Tim Follin tamed the Amiga!! If that don't show you the Chiptune God that he is, i don't know what will.
He lifted that last bit from Tales from Topographic Oceans.
Thanks, I was trying to figure that part out
For anyone reading this comment in the future it’s in the remembering at around 11:20
Tom Follin needs to do some music for future fantasy shows and current shows like game of thrones. It would be awsome.
I'd forgotten how good the music was.
Sounds like something Transatlantic/Neal Morse would make. Woooow!
the last bit is pulled directly from Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans!
what a follin blast ^^
*drools*
This sounds a LOT like some old school 70's Genesis.
There was no Sega Gen-
OH THAT GENESIS. YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!
@@roland_the_cursor Ironically enough, Tim Follin only produced 1 soundtrack on Sega Genesis, and it was unedited.
genesis in the 70's....yeah
The bass line at the 54 second mark is suck an eloy jam
TIM FOLLIN! WHY DID YOU STOP MAKING VIDEO GAME MUSIC :(:(:(:(:(
Crunch time & lack of income.
@SgtThom Why does that make it a problem? Prog is my favorite genre of music by far.
Not as fantastic as the C64 version's title screen but still awesome Follin stuff. Would it be wrong if we should call this genre of music Follin Prog?
Plok Rock (?)
@SgtThom Pretty much ALL of Tim's stuff is prog rock. Makes it cool if you like it, annoying if you don't.

Does anyone know how to get this game working on WinUAE? I've tried every single version of the game disks out there and none of them seems to work.
where i can buy thios game? why did they skipped it?
This needs to be a "GoT" intro song!!! >:D
