  Notes from Parent Album:

  TURRICAN IS BACK

  After two years of anxious waiting, Commander Bren McGuire conquers video gamers''
  computers and consoles with his Turrican armor. 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.

  Naturally 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.

  In 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.

  "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.

  In 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..."

  Chris Hülsbeck

  PART 1

  Opening

  For 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.

  Prologue

  The story of the everlasting struggle - even without a screen, television, or monitor,
  the pictures of a Turrican adventure shine through.

  Main Title

  Turrican lives - and on the Amiga too. This bombastic interpretation of the original
  T3 theme is proof.

  PART 2

  Techno Dungeon

  Turrican in the steel vault of terror. In searching for diamonds he finds secret
  compartments, fights with deadly piranhas, and runs into aggressive robots.

  The Desert Rocks

  The 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.

  The Great Bath

  In 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.

  Walker Factory

  Mercilessly 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.

  The Hero

  Victory! "The Machine" is defeated! The universe was saved from enslavement by the
  forces of evil. But how long will the peace last?!

  Bionic Action

  In the halls of the biogenetic experimental laboratories, monsters and mutants await
  unwanted visitors. Eerie liquids simmer dangerously in giant test tubes.

  Air Combat

  Nothing 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.

  Climb to Survive

  Strange gas fills the atmosphere! Turrican senses that he will stand against his
  greatest foe. Only a miracle can save him now...

  PART 3

  Transfer to the Battlefield

  Commander Bren McGuire slips into his Turrican assault suit and prepares himself
  for the fight of his life. -All systems start- indeed.....

  The Machine

  Turrican 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...

  Countdown

  The seconds run down relentlessly; only moments remain to save the world! Turrican
  activates every attack system in his suit....

  Freedom

  Oppressed 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.

  Turrican Medley

  At 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! The ''94 Turrican mix
  in digital, bombastic sound!
