Wing 1 CD Update

MISSION STATEMENTS: IN ORDER

1. something that at first glance appears to be officially released by Origin, but at second guess _clearly_ isn't.
2. It should say "VENERABLE" as in "this was the first decent orchestral soundtrack EVER for a game."
3. It should tell the viewer that this thing is GRAMMY BAIT.
4. Texan, Fat, and Funny

Hmmm, which brings up the interesting topic of brainstorming for album titles:

WING ONE
Music from the first Wing Commander Game

Other dumb ideas:

I'm Going In
Solo Flight
The Hair Beneath my Wings
Even the Music Crashes
A Soundcard Is Born
Flight of the Ego
Love it, it's Govett
that kind of thing

all of which would be followed by the subtitle music from the PC game Wing Commander I
