Three new adventures will shortly be completed in the laboratories of Factor 5: on the Super Nintendo, Turrican stands against his arch-enemy \"The Machine\" for the first time. Mega Drive fans might already know him from the failed first version made by a foreign company, but only with Factor 5's \"Mega Turrican\" does the real hero make his appearance. On the Amiga, the long-awaited third installment of the Turrican legend finally appears - a perfect transfer of the Mega Drive game to the Amiga.\nNaturally all music and sounds in these three games come from Chris Hülsbeck - with his soundtracks he, alongside Turrican creator Manfred Trenz, had a crucial share in the Turrican legend and decisively influenced these three games as well.\nIn light of the huge amount that Turrican has to offer musically, Chris decided to finally prepare a true Turrican CD. Not \"just\" a medley like that on his first CD, \"Shades,\" but instead more than 60 minutes of pure Turrican without additives.\n\"I began in the first part of the CD with a combination of several Turrican intros - when possible, compositions from the Super Nintendo, Mega Drive, and Amiga were seamlessly connected.\nIn the main section you will find a whole bunch of completely new arrangements of in-game music from all Turrican games. None of these pieces were available on my CDs until now, and the fans of the games kept asking for more Turrican material. Last but not least, a special treat awaits: with synthesizers and microphones, I have sent Turrican on one of his dangerous outer-space missions. Try to immerse yourself in the action with the help of the 3D surround-sound effect...\"\nChris Hülsbeck\nPART 1\nOpening\nFor Turrican's red-hot Super Nintendo debut, the music had to be coordinated precisely in time with the animations of the intro sequence. With the CD version more freedom was available.\nPrologue\nThe story of the everlasting struggle - even without a screen, television, or monitor, the pictures of a Turrican adventure shine through.\nMain Title\nTurrican lives - and on the Amiga too. This bombastic interpretation of the original T3 theme is proof.\nPART 2\nTechno Dungeon\nTurrican in the steel vault of terror. In searching for diamonds he finds secret compartments, fights with deadly piranhas, and runs into aggressive robots.\nThe Desert Rocks\nThe wind blows bitingly cold between the peaks of the bare mountains. Unshaken, Turrican overcomes bottomless gorges, climbs steep rock walls, and explores dark caves on his way.\nThe Great Bath\nIn the watery caves of the planet, Turrican races through endless shafts. Treacherous steel balls, flashing lasers, and poisonous spiders set out to destroy the hero's armor.\nWalker Factory\nMercilessly pounding hammers, grating cylinders, and endless conveyor belts - a cold labyrinth of the future made of metal and synthetic material welcome you. The mechanical creatures attack - and are not programmed for honor.\nThe Hero\nVictory! \"The Machine\" is defeated! The universe was saved from enslavement by the forces of evil. But how long will the peace last?!\nBionic Action\nIn the halls of the biogenetic experimental laboratories, monsters and mutants await unwanted visitors. Eerie liquids simmer dangerously in giant test tubes.\nAir Combat\nNothing under Turrican for kilometers except an endless sea of gray fog - above him, the dreary, cloudy night sky. He swings with determination from glider to glider in search of an unknown goal.\nClimb to Survive\nStrange gas fills the atmosphere! Turrican senses that he will stand against his greatest foe. Only a miracle can save him now...\nPART 3\nTransfer to the Battlefield\nCommander Bren McGuire slips into his Turrican assault suit and prepares himself for the fight of his life. -All systems start- indeed.....\nThe Machine\nTurrican and his arch-enemy confront each other face to face! Will Turrican's energy last - will the USS Freedom Forces succumb to the iron-handed conqueror...\nCountdown\nThe seconds run down relentlessly; only moments remain to save the world! Turrican activates every attack system in his suit....\nFreedom\nOppressed and overjoyed! Turrican was able to bring the daunting, superior power of his enemy to its knees, and he celebrates his greatest victory. The coalition of aggressors under the leadership of \"The Machine\" was destroyed, their bloodthirsty underlings scattered to the four winds. Once again, peace visits the people of the galaxy - and once again they hope for everlasting repose from the forces of evil.\nTurrican Medley\nAt the request of many, and to complete this CD, the Turrican Medley from the Shades album was re-mixed with the most modern studio technology!
