                           BJØRN "DR.AWESOME" LYNNE    
                               DEFUNCT PROJECTS          
                                     VOL.I                 
                                                             

           Welcome  to  AM/FM Special Disks #4 and #5, which I have
           decided  to  title "Bjørn A.  Lynne's Defunct Projects",
           Vol.  I and Vol.  II.

           Notice  how  I  wrote  "I" have decided - usually I will
           write  "we  have  decided", but this disk is, unlike the
           other AM/FM disks, just a one-man show.  This is a first
           Volume of a 2-disk collection; however both of these two
           disks work fine independently on one another.

           AM/FM Special Disk #4 is: Bjorn Lynne's Defunct Projects
                                     Vol. I.

           AM/FM Special Disk #5 is: Bjorn Lynne's Defunct Projects
                                     Vol. II.

           Ever  since  long  before  I even started thinking about
           AM/FM, I've been composing lots and lots of music on the
           Amiga.  Some  of  you might have heard of "Dr.Awesome  /
           Crusaders", well that's me, and the number of songs I've
           composed,  both  for PD and commercial purposes over the
           years, is somewhere between 200 and 250.  (Ish).

           There  have  been a lot of Crusaders music disks, with a
           lot  of  music  on each of them - some of them have even
           been  released  on  two  disks, just to get more room to
           store the music on.

           Also, I've been composing for various software companies
           and  independent  game  developing teams for many years,
           since I got my first commercial music job, composing for
           the car racing game "Driving Force", which I  think  was
           released  in 1988.  Since that time,  I've been asked to
           make music for games every now and then.

           Unfortunately,  some  of  these games have never made it
           past  the planning stage.   For many of these games  and
           other  projects,  I've  made music especially suited for
           one  specific  game.  In these cases, it was kind of sad
           to  see  that  the game never appeared - especially if I
           didn't  even  get paid for the music before the game was
           made  Defunct, which means something like "put aside for
           good".   I, like all other commercial Amiga musicians in
           the  world,  have been a part of many such projects, I'm
           afraid.

           This leaves a great deal of music; And that's where this
           disk  comes  in.   This  disk is filled to the brim with
           just  that  -  music  from projects that never appeared.
           All the music on this disk has been kept privately on my
           own  harddisk  until the release on this disk.  With the
           exception  of  course,  that  it  has  been  sent to the
           various  programming  teams making these games and demos
           that  were  never  to  materialize.  If any of the music
           here  has been made available to the public before, it's
           because these programming teams have spread it out.

           Along  with  each  song, I've written a little document;
           the  story of the tune, so to speak; in which I describe
           the  project that the music was composed for, so that it
           will  be  easier  for  you to relate to the music.  It's
           easier  to  understand a piece of music once you know in
           which environment it was supposed to be presented.

                         Hope you'll enjoy the music!
