If you haven’t gotten in on Chris Huelsbeck’s “The Piano Collection” Album and Score Book Kickstarter, you only have a few more days to do so. The campaign, which shattered records by making its goal with 66 minutes of going live (just another notch on Mr. Huelsbeck’s belt after the fantastic success of his Turrican Soundtrack Anthology project), features a piano album performed by Patrick Nevian of Huelsbeck’s greatest musical compositions (Turrican, R-Type, etc.), and includes a score book of the piano sheet music and autobiography by former OSV writer Audun Sorlie available to certain tiers.

The Chris Huelsbeck Piano Collection Kickstarter Down to Its Last Days

There’s a limited amount of physical printed copies remaining, so get in on them while you can. Digital copies and several other pledge tiers are also still open, and stretch goals of a roundtable team video and an original arrangement album release are still on the horizon. If this project is anything like Huelsbeck’s other works, it should be top-quality for all who pledge. -

Right Type Of Remake: R-Type IPhone With New Music by Hülsbeck
R-Type has seen many releases over the years on various systems and reached legendary status in the shmups genre. While in the US and Japan it is probably more remembered by its arcade or Super NES sequel, here in Europe we are more familiar with the Commodore 64 and Amiga versions of the game. That’s not only because those systems had a higher market share here mind you, one of the reasons why it was so popular was because it featured music by non other than Chris Hülsbeck. Now EA Mobile and DotEmu will bring back R-Type to the Iphone and with it they are bringing Hülsbeck back to work on the title 20 years later.
A developer at DotEmu, who is in charge of porting the game, remembered Hülsbeck’s excellent work on the classic game and suggested bringing him aboard. Thanks to that suggestion the game will feature a brand new title theme composed specifically for the Iphone port. It’s scheduled for release very soon so keep your eyes on the App store. It’ll be a glorious feeling to travel back to my childhood once again where I was in the basement playing Amiga while my parents thought I was sleeping.
