tracked worx '2k - incl. music of Purple Motion's Future Crew mate Skaven: Forget about MP3, WMA or classic audio CDs.

Purple Motion "Musicdisk" is the long awaited debut audio CD of Jonne Valtonen aka Purple Motion. In the early 90s he and Skaven wrote PC demoscene history as musicians of the Future Crew, best known for their "2nd reality" demo. Almost 10 years passed by, Jonne studied classic music and founded Valtone studio together with Timo Haanpää, working with bands or doing soundtracks for games as well as orchestral productions for theater plays.

The CD contains 3 remakes of old classics and 9 brand new songs. It combines the Purple Motion trademark "demoscene" sound re-arranged and at todays level of production quality with his talent to master different styles and to play with them. Rock drums and e-guitars meat the unmistakable synth leads, powerful hymns meet mellow songs and a beautiful female voice - goose bumps guaranteed. Check what other people said about the CD. The included 8 pages booklet contains interesting background information about each song.

Quote from Jonne: "It really has been a long and a hard road making this one, 3-5 years to be vaguely precise, and I´m one happy person getting all of this finally together! The CD contains all kinds of different music styles (from old rearranged mods to new stuff) and the one thing I've tried to keep myself focused on (a red line, if you will) is the true spirit of tracking. By this I mean lots of delays, block forms and of course some Purple Motion mannerisms. I've put so much energy and heart (and money) into this CD that I truly hope you like it! Yours, Jonne".


Purple Motion and band live at the Assembly'03, a short video is available at Acumen's ASM'03 page. The song you hear in the video is an early version of "Excerpts from the Oceanic Suite" - before it got its name :)
