I thought hard about whether this should be in Lemmings Discussion, or Off Topic Discussion, but I think that this is most likely the right place for it.
As I'm sure you all know, Psygnosis was killed off last year. Now, pre-orders are going on for a limited edition Psygnosis owl logo memorial USB flash-drive and matching tin, which also comes with a booklet. The flash-drive contains a lossless album with music by Tim Wright, which apparently re-imagines Commodore Amiga music in full CD-quality form. Tim Wright has contributed such tracks to at least one of the Amiga Immortal CDs before, and I thought that they were amazing - and they included Lemmings tunes, which I would imagine is likely in this case, too, hence my posting about this here.
Anyway, the page for the USB flash-drive/tin/album is right here - I just thought that I'd better post about it in case anyone else here is interested.
EDIT: According to this, three tracks from Lemmings are represented, as well as tracks from Shadow of the Beast II and Awesome which made an appearance in Lemmings, and a track from Leander which featured a Lemmings cameo.

Oh my god that looks AWESOME (pun intended?). Too bad I'm broke...

Here's a remix of one track from the Amiga Immortal 4 CD; the author has simply added the "Let's go!":

I bought this straight away. I'm a huge fan of Lemmings, Psygnosis and CoLD SToRAGE / Tim Wright. I'm usually good at saving money, but this combination was too much for me.

Did anyone else who ordered this get the e-mail update today?
There's been a slight shipping delay of two to three weeks, but to make up for it, an extra track is being added to the album, and Tim Wright is going to personally sign every single copy of the included booklet (which I think is pretty neat!
).

Yeah, I got the email as well. That's a lot of work for Tim right there.

It looks like it's finally about to get shipped within the next two weeks. Lovely timing, as I'm about to move house, but never mind. I'm just glad it's arriving.

I'm not sure if Tim Wright'll be releasing it any format other than this (i.e., I don't know if he'll sell it in downloadable form) later on. I'll keep an eye out.

Mine arrived today. It's quite tricky getting the cap off the USB drive, but other than that, I love it. I haven't heard the music yet. I'll get on that very soon.
