Some of you may have caught my blog from a couple of months ago where I said I had completed a remix/cover of the After Burner II soundtrack. Well, I decided to release it!

Afterburning marks the 17th release by Aurora Eclipse Productions Ltd

The track is available to buy direct from AEPL via the Website or Bandcamp and is on all streaming platforms worldwide including Spotify.

For those who have no idea what After Burner II is, well here’san excerpt from Wikipedia, “After Burner II is an arcade-style flight game released by Sega in October 1987.[1] It is the second game in the After Burner series. In the game, players fly an F-14 Tomcat jet fighter, gunning down enemies while avoiding incoming fire.  After Burner II came both a standard arcade cabinet and a servo actuated, sit-down version which moved according to the motion of the plane onscreen. The cockpit would bank in the same direction the on-screen aircraft was banking.”
