alexh Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 David Lowe aka Uncle Art is remaking his Amiga/Atari/C64 music as a studio album. Remember StarGlider? Or Carrier Command? Remember the cassette tape that came with them? Or countless other classics. He's a thoroughly nice guy I have had the pleasure of knowing and this album is going to be epic! An amazing blend of old a new. Get backing and lets help him reach his goal https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/278860000/uncle-art-amiga-atari-st-etcgame-music-original-an Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 well, not to take away from those but you can play a newer version of Carrier Command. http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/65740/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled_Pink Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I loved the Carrier Command music. I used to play it all the time. Can't remember how it goes now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexh Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here you go, Nostalgia overload. Dave did the music to 10's of other games for the Atari ST and the music to Cybermorph on the Jaguar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet-X Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well I was originally excited (Starglider specifically) to get the original tapes onto CD/digital, however, they've clarified it's more about the remakes of the songs vs. the originals. Their plan for the original tracks is to digitize and then clean up the audio direct from the ST/Amiga rather than using the tapes for them. Bummer, that'll keep me from contributing.

+rdemming Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Even when the Uncle Art tunes did not make an impression on me back in the days, I backed the project. It seems that they are struggling to reach the goal after they restarted their kickstarter with a higher goal to include the orchestral Elite track. The only thing I can remember of Uncle Art is the "Staaaaaar Gliiiiiider" music and the IK+ music (Rob Hubbard conversion). I played other games with Uncle Art music but these tunes did not stay in my head. I'm more exited about the Sidologie kickstarter of Marcel Donné that promises 3 to 6 CD's with various SID tunes remixes in Jean Michel Jarre (and Vangelis) style. I'm sure more ST users have nostalgic feelings for these tunes as the ST conversions by Mad Max in the BIG and Union demos were very popular.

+rdemming Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The KickStarter of Uncle Art failed with only a few dollars short. So they now try it again. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/124468523/uncle-art-a-temporal-shift I don't know if aiming at the same goal is a smart move (most of the retried KickStarter I've seen got less money the second time and Uncle Art does not have the same cult status as Chris Huelsbeck and Matt Gray that had very succesfull KickStarters). I would start with a cheaper orchestra and make the expensive Chamber Orchestra of London a stretch goal. Anyway I will pledge again and hopefully they will make it this time.
