The physical deep-art-ment
[ Atariscne.org - News ] The physical deep-art-ment
Some decades ago I decided to follow the white rabbit... down the rabbit hole. Once you start collecting you stumble over more and more "easter eggs". Hidden secrets that the majority of sceners are not aware of.
Follow me down into the deeper dungeons of scene collectables that you might have never heard of before.
Note: This is not about reviewing releases and it's not about imposing my opinion on you. I simply want to show you some gems that are out there.
Let's begin with the obvious...
Jochen Hippel Give It A Try [Thalion THCD 1]

Thalion as a record label? Yes indeed... even if there was only one release. I guess you already know Jochen Hippel's 'Give It A Try' album from 1990. This is a hard-to-get-item. Sold on Discogs for 10 to 25 Euros... but you have to find somebody who is selling this.
I managed to buy a copy back then through ASM's (Aktueller Software Markt) mail order catalogue, which was my favourite German game magazine back in the day. All MP3s are freely available on Demozoo but it will be much harder to obtain an original release of the CD in physical form. Self-made copies are floating around in the scene.
They came up as prizes in a competition years ago... Jochen even signed them. One of these copies is in my collection as well.
Let's take a closer look into the tracks:
