The Magitek album is a
collection of cover songs by Albedo from the video game Final Fantasy
VI composed by Nobuo Uematsu. It was recorded in a New Age style
similar to Mannheim Steamroller and Yanni. All of the songs are a
mixture of live and synthetic elements. The album contains many great
songs from the video game including: Terra, Decisive Battle, Techno
de Chocobo and Dancing Mad.
Final Fantasy, for those of you
who are unfamiliar, is a role playing video game series that was
originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in
1987. Final Fantasy VI is the 6th game in the series and was released
for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. The music was
composed by Nobuo Uematsu, who coincidentally is a fan of the Fresh
Aire series by Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller. One does not
necessarily have to play the games to enjoy the music. Music from the
Final Fantasy series is arguably the best ever written for video
games, and is extremely popular.
The word Magitek itself is from
the game Final Fantasy VI and can be simply described as magical
technology. Machines that are powered by magic to do unbelievable
things. Fans of the game should recognize the word very easily.
Albedo is a New Age music
artist who also writes in the Classical, Soundtrack and Dance genres.
Since being formed in January of 2002, 9 albums have been
officially released including a New Age Christmas album in 2012 that
contains a collection of secular and sacred Holiday songs similar in
style to Mannheim Steamroller, Kurt Bestor, and Jon Schmidt. A
classical album called "Symphony No. 1", also released in
2012. Plus a video game soundtrack called "Forgotten Lands"
in 2011, which was nominated for "Best Soundtrack Album" by the
12th Annual Independent Music Awards (The IMAs) in 2013. The Battle
of Shiloh from his album "Digital Fingers" released in 2010
was performed at Carnegie Hall in April of 2011.
