Episode #158 - Tribute to Psygnosis, Part 2: Racing on top of the PSone

Hello and welcome to part 2 of our journey through the beautiful sound universe of Psygnosis games. We're moving on and crossing the timeline when the boys and girls from Liverpool switched from Amiga to console gaming, especially the PlayStation. For example, they created WipEout, the first new media sensation which made video games interesting to a broader audience.

This episode includes tunes from games which brought Psygnosis fame after their Amiga era has ended and before they lost their name to become Sony Studio Liverpool.

Information about the unreleased music included here:

Assault Rigs 2: "I did write some music for the sequel but the game eventually was dropped." (Stuart Duffield)

Damij - Shoki: "The track 'Shoki' was from a 3D fighting game called 'Damij' (it was almost completed, but was dropped and ended up not being released). The track has some background noise - it was recorded using 8-track tape and hasn't been remastered at all." (Stuart Duffield)

Drakan: "Here are some unused tunes from Drakan and Drakan 2 which I got kicked off a few months into it..." (Barry Leitch)

BitFellas - there's some owlsome music in the air.
