Intellivision in Hi-Fi Music CD

Nearly an hour of music from or inspired by the Intellivision console and games!

George "The Fat Man" Sanger performs a surf-rock version of his 1982 theme from "Thin Ice," The Tilton-Tate Orchestra does a lounge version of the theme from "Shark! Shark!", and The Buddy O Trio swings into a jazz rendition of the "Snafu" theme. Michael Schwartz sings the Pet Shop Boys-inspired "My Intellivision" and Tom Kahelin performs a suite of themes from the movie TRON. Electronica artist Confusium presents "Compare This!" and "Closest Thing to the Real Thing," original pieces featuring vocal samples from Intellivision games and TV commercials. Rounding out the album is music from a number of Intellivision cartridges and unreleased games, recorded on an actual Intellivision console.

From Intellivision Music/Retrotopia Records.

$14.95.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY
"George Sanger’s surf-rockin’ “Surfing On Thin Ice”...is in itself a good reason to buy this CD. Jazzy interpretations of music from Snafu and Shark! Shark! also prove to be entertaining. Confusium provides two tracks featuring copious samples of Intellivision sound effects and vintage TV ads starring George Plimpton... Best of all, however, is Michael Schwartz’s “My Intellivision”, an appropriately new wave-flavored pop tribute to the machine, sung from the perspective of someone who pines for his long-lost Intellivision. [T]his album’s diverse sampling of original sounds and reinterpretations should have something to please just about everyone." - TheLogBook.com
