At 354 beautifully illustrated pages, years of research and work went into creating this guide to Rob's music. From his first 8-bit compositions, through his Mega Drive years working for Electronic Arts, to his orchestral arrangements and recent remixes, Rob Hubbard's work is examined in detail.
With screenshots, review quotes, sheet music, cover artwork, and much more detail, find out when Rob was writing a particular tune or how his music evolved over time.
The book also grants access to a massive online archive, filled with recordings and music data - some of which have never been heard before outside their original games.
At £40 plus postage, every Rob Hubbard (and indeed chiptune) fan should own a copy.
