I’ve made it no small secret that my computer gaming experience growing up rested solely with the Commodore Amiga. I grew up with it alongside my Sega Genesis, and had a small collection of games I played religiously, and as can be told by my dedication to games like Turrican, I grew to love Amiga music just as much. When I was an adult and reclaimed my love of the system, I went back and samples the music of an even greater variety of Amiga games that I hadn’t had the pleasure of experiencing as a kid, and I can say that I’ve enjoyed them just as much.
Several of the games whose music I ended up delving into as an adult while rekindling my appreciation of the Amiga had soundtrack done by composer Allister Brimble. In 2013, Brimble released a compilation album that consisted of remastered version of themes from the games he composed for on the Amiga, titled The AMIGA Works. I was graciously given a copy, and despite my shame in only getting to it until now, I can report it to be a worthy addition t Brimble’s legacy.
