Amiga / Brian the Lion OST Selection / Psygnosis
2This is what might be the best platformer on the whole Amiga library, with a huge amount of levels and the blistering difficulty well known for Amiga games. It also has slamming music from Rik Ede of an amazing variety.
Music by Rik Ede
Rik Ede is well known for leveling up the usage of surround sound and Dolby mastering techniques within video games. He even was part of Sony's efforts to deploy better sound technology with the rollout of PlayStation 3.
Several years back Rik put together a Kickstarter for a DVD project to celebrate video game music:

Website: https://www.heroesofvgm.co.uk/
Due to how difficult it is to extract and remix the audio I can't do it for the whole thing (55 plus songs?). Rik Ede would also probably not be happy with how poorly I have handled the mix to stereo, I would love to see him do a full remaster himself! There is a new Amiga game music tool in alpha development and I was testing extracting and playing the audio using original .pha files (Pha Packer compressed mod format). Output sounds pretty good to me but I have to wait until I can find an easier way (a couple of the songs had some buggy parts as well).
