notes: 'The full-length remastered original soundtrack from the cult Claymation shoot-em-up
  game "Platypus", originally for PC, PSP and XBox 360. Amazing electronic tracks,

  - Album description

  Back in the mists of time, there were legendary Commodore 64 composers such as Rob
  Hubbard, Martin Galway, Ben Daglish, Jonathan Dunn, Matt Gray, Fred Gray, and more.
  They somehow crammed masterpieces into three voices.

  10 years after their heyday, fans who loved the music in their youth began to pay
  tribute to it by remixing it. Eventually, there was an official album: "Back in
  Time". It was a success, so more followed.

  5 years after that, the remixes themselves have become retro enough, and treasured
  by various video game industry types and general retro fans. There are concerts
  and nightclub events such as "Back in Time Live".

  So, Idigicon (in the zen form of George Bray) came looking for some retro goodness
  for their new Claymation shoot ''em up by Anthony Flack called "Platypus". To plunder
  classic CD tracks was the mission: giving a double retro fix to a new generation!

  Anyway, we were delighted to oblige and have great fun matching tracks up to levels,
  having a quite chuckle that a whole new legion of youngsters would be enjoying this
  music on its own merits and having their own goosepimple moments. I mean, how many
  other games give you a 7 minutes orchestral opus just for the options screen? Because
  the music already existed, it meant we could just stuff top-quality music into the
  game as if there was no tomorrow.

  The game was released for download on the PC with short versions of the tunes (this
  album has the complete versions taken direct from the original masters, except "Sanxion
  2001" which is as good as we can get it since it was never released on CD). The
  CD version had full-length tracks.

  The track listing was slightly changed for the Playstation PSP version of the game:
  the original Level 3 music and the original Baddie music were replaced, but can
  now be restored for digital release along with the PSP/XBox tracks.

  Unfortunately these tracks did not make it to the iPhone version of the game, more''s
  the pity.

  Later on, we also contributed other tracks to the other claymation games such as
  Platypus II and Nux (OSTs coming soon!)

  Artists featured on this include Gareth "Tonka" Dolloway, Chris Abbott, Alistair
  "Boz" Bowness, Puffy64, Tomas Danko and Darren Izzard. Composers featured include
  Martin Galway (Title tune, Level 1, Level 3 PSP), Rob Hubbard (Level 2, High Score,
  Options), Matt Gray (Level 4), Fred Gray (Level Select, Baddie tune II PSP), Ben
  Daglish (Baddie tune 1) and Jon Dunn (Level 3 PC).

  Thanks to Steve for helping out with the cover art!
