Mortal Kombat 2 Music credit
According to the man himself, Anthony Putson is SOLELY responsible for the music for MK2, Brimble for the original MK.

Did he make a cock-up in their company's CV then? He lists himself and Allister Brimble as having composed and designed the sound for MK2 on the Ami. http://www.orchestralmedia.co.uk/portfolio.php Last edited by DrBong; 11 December 2016 at 12:58. Reason: Fixed typo! |

Appreciate the heads-up mate! Here's Anthony Putson's comment re: MK2 music credits from the YouTube vid you mentioned: "Just as an FYI. Allister converted MK1 but MK2 was converted by myself. MK2 was converted from the Arcade music (don't know original composer) which was sent to me on a cassette. 8) There are many inaccuracies on places like the aforementioned and Moby Games for example." The man is a fucking comedian! The "many inaccuracies" he speaks of include his own bloody company website, where the portfolio CV has listed supposedly incorrect music credits for MK2 for the last 5 years now!!! I'm almost certain that's where HOL took the music credits from (or it was used to verify published credits at any rate). If you can't trust coders to remember their own game credits properly, then how are game databases supposed to get it right......especially if there's little else to go by, as sometimes is the case! Do you have any direct contact details for this joker? If not, I'll email him at the company address (if I can be arsed!) to check which source of info. that he's provided is actually the God honest truth.

The in-game credits for MK2 say "Sound Engineer: Allister Brimble". I have asked Allister himself to clarify.

Allister writes: "I think it was both me & Anthony Putson so just put both of us down. Sound Engineer was definitely me and music was converted by Anthony."
Based on all the evidence so far, I think a note on the entry is enough and leave both people credited. |

Edit: Seems that Allister didn't! Thanks Ian Yeh, the music credits stand and we'll throw a note into the HOL entry for MK2 detailing specific credits when we get a chance. Last edited by DrBong; 11 December 2016 at 11:58. |

Sound engineer Allister Brimble explains the musician credits: "I was contracted by Probe software to do the Mortal Kombat 2 audio. The original Arcade music was by Dan Forden and needed squashing down into 3 channels for the Amiga. My time was required to work on the SFX and another project, so the music arrangement work fell to Anthony Putson who I had received some demo's from and was very proficient at .MOD creation. After receiving the .MOD files back, I optimised the instrument samples by hand to get them a little smaller and plugged them into my sound driver."
I have added the note to the entry. Case closed! |
