Retro gaming music fans have something new to celebrate—Nightwolf has just released Echoes of a Previous Life, a fresh take on some classic Amiga-era tunes. Now streaming on Spotify, the album is a love letter to the golden age of demoscene and gaming music, blending nostalgia with modern production.

Nightwolf, known for his immersive remixes of retro gaming and Amiga-mod soundtracks, has reimagined iconic tracks with a mix of synthwave and electronic elements. The album delivers a fusion of old-school melodies and contemporary soundscapes, offering something special for both longtime fans and newcomers to the C64 & Amiga remix scene.

Whether you grew up with these legendary soundtracks or are discovering them for the first time, Echoes of a Previous Life promises a rich, evocative experience. Stream it now on Spotify and relive the echoes of demos and gaming’s past in a whole new way.

We are sad to report that Stéphane Picq, who composed the music for such Amiga games as Dune and KGB, and the soundtrack for several other DOS and console games in the late 1980s and early 1990s like MegaRace and Lost Eden, has passed away at the age of 59. May he rest in peace.

Today the FastLoaders announced their latest Kickstarter project titled Amiga Rocks Harder, a triple album of Amiga game music remakes containing 30+ classic tunes. The Kickstarter will launch on Feburary 1, 2025, but the project's page is already up at the link below with more information.
