Austin Esau Not sure if this game helped me become an engineer working on space vehicles, have an obsession with cars, or both, but I do know I absolutely loved this game as a kid :) Favorite track: Drifting.

griscuit The music of this game has stuck with me ever since I first played it as a young lad, and it's just as delightful today as it was all those years ago.

One would expect a title set in space to opt for moody, atmospheric sci-fi melodies, and while there is some of that (see: "Drifting") much of the soundtrack is upbeat, cheery, and infectiously catchy! The ragtime and swing influences are on full display, and they make for a wonderfully unique and memorable soundtrack. Favorite track: Putt in Tunisia.

popmasterbgm Even before getting to hear the full album, this will be one of the greatest purchases I will make this year, maybe out of the last 5 years. You just don't expect to hear remasters from certain titles or franchises, but this is going to be such a joy to listen to. Next to the first Pajama Sam, this is the most imaginative and visually original of the Humongous titles, and a personal favorite.

Thank you again for taking the time to give a small but loyal fan-base such a wonderful gift.

jammingdevice Putting this one together was a real joy. I've loved this soundtrack since I was a kid. To see it as a finished album, with AMAZING cover art by Sophie, is a surreal experience. Hearing the uncompressed vocal theme is weird, too, but I love it. Favorite track: KGSR.

You're brave and you're cheerful, But could have been more careful, Putt-Putt goes to the moon! You were on the floor, but You put yourself in orbit, Putt-Putt goes to the moon And when you get there you'll have lots of fun, but we Hope you'll come back soon We're glad that you're happy, But Putt-Putt make it snappy, Putt-Putt come back from the moon!

For some of the tunes in “Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon,” I enlisted the help of Grammy-winner and Texas keyboard legend Floyd Domino, my two-time Grammy-winning brother Dave Sanger, and Hammond ace Nick Connolly. A less computer-literate trio you’ve never met. They bravely brought their instruments over to Fat Manor, we hooked ‘em up to the computer, I gave ‘em some sheet music, and they tore it up. I mean to say they played the heck out of the tunes I wrote…they didn’t actually rip up the pages until after the gig.

Music for games is usually written by a lone programmer or musician at a keyboard. This is the first time that parts of a computer game’s soundtrack have been recorded by a group of musicians of this caliber playing real instruments simultaneously, “jam-style.” They were able to play off of each other’s musical ideas in real time in a way that can’t be duplicated by other techniques. You can feel the music come alive on these songs, even on the least elaborate sound cards. And on a high-grade General MIDI sound card—look out! My thanks and admiration go to these musicians, and to Ron Gilbert for giving us the leeway to experiment in this direction.

The Fat Man, September 24th, 1993

...

I tried to bring my best game: whole-tone scales, live jazz, Andrews Sisters harmony, whatever magic inspirations came floating into my heart from playing the prototype versions of the game.

Most significantly, I suppose, this project is the where I bonded with Humongous Entertainment games by falling in love with a little purple car.

Wouldn't you?

about

The Fat Man and Team Fat Coronado, California

Internationally known as The Fat Man, George Alistair Sanger’s influence is hard to overestimate. Through his work, his writings, the founding of think-tanks, organizations and communities—but mainly his music—this “legendary game audio guru’s” fingerprints are all over much of what it means today to create game audio or listen to a game. ... more
