damn, never heard of that before, like if jp massiera wrote PS2 video game soundtracks
today i'm nerding out on the adlib gold, a soundcard that was screwed by creative, maker of the soundblaster (creative and adlib got their fm synth chips from the same source, and that source had mysterious delays in making the new chips for the adlib gold)... so the company was bankrupt by the time it came out. basically the only adlib gold soundtrack anyone knows is stephane picq's "dune" soundtrack (not dune ii i don't think). anyway apparently in the korean demoscene people are writing songs for it:

also somebody transferred stephane picq's soundtrack to "kgb" in 24/96 fidelity using an OPL3 card (the OPL3 is the FM synthesis chip on the Adlib Gold - the OPL2 is on most of the FM soundcards of the era), worth checking out for you hi-fi heads out there:

i like the kgb soundtrack better than the dune soundtrack myself so this is cool to have

just clicking around on that link reveals a lot of great stuff, thanks for posting that. absolutely love this sound.
I know Stephane Picq from Megarace - perhaps the game itself was not great, but I loved the cutscenes, and the music was incredible

I was probably like...9 years old when I first heard this. had no clue about techno or electronica or anything else but this blew my tiny little head off
