The one reason I can think of was that we no longer have hardware constraints.

During the intro, the three loud sounds at 0:44-0:46 are synched up with one more roman numeral added after "Lotus" until the title says "Lotus III". For some reason I found that to be very cool back in the day!

I haven't played this game... but I always go fucking gaga for Amiga music. Mod music is just transcendent, my favourite type of video game music - old or new school, that's also why I adore the soundtracks to the original "Unreal" games and the first "Deus Ex." I know some people bitched about them bringing back an outdated format, but the mod music still rocked. It's so atmospheric and unique.

Team Space Ninja (track 04)

Listening to the intro back then was epic and still holds up.

Way back in the day. Every kid used to have a shoebox full of Amiga games on tape cassette. Only thing was that only two or three of the cassettes actually worked. The rest just always used to crash in the last two minutes of loading. This was one of the games that didn't and we used to play it until after bedtime. Oh how I miss those days 😿

The usage of the left or right channel only for specific sounds is unic to the Amiga era. And that’s what made this music so special.

There will never be a better game soundtrack.

Never had an Amiga but played the DOS version and just finished uploading the DOS & Roland MT-32 (munt) soundtrack on my channel. The Amiga soundtrack is awesome for listening (especially on quality headphones) as well! Thanks!

I saw a Lotus driving past in my hometown yesterday. :)

My personal number 1, talking about old school racing game soundtracks, in general. The one which completely took it to another level was, nonetheless, Screamer in 1995. I´ve been listening to this soundtrack on the Autobahn in every one of my first five or six cars. The original game CD was just a traditional resident to my in-car cd wallet.

this is great when listening to it with headphones awesome done i approve!

oh shit, I remember Metal Machine being used for a Wii homebrew program that we (my family) used; I never knew the source for it's banger until now, and look at that, I just find it all willy-nilly while looking for this OST nice

New Marshall 2 headphones, or I found them in an unopened box in a apartment My moving company was throwing everything away at a dump area. The apartment had burned in the living room. Our order was dump everything so I found thoose headphones a system camera money, tv, expensive clothes everything. BUT some things killing My eyes throwing away. Have worked with this for 20 years now. An expression in Swedish is "- It cuts My eyes" and also I had a Amiga playing and started Lotus turbo series maybe around 1.000 times. Bad is that this track is not the best quality but I have listening to just this track many times. But Marshall headphones are very very good quality. I downloaded 2023 LP records from digitally mixes special recorded from DJ:s and You can hear the recorde spinning around ✨️🥏😃😃😊😅 very nice. Good weekend everyone. Lotus turbo the first one i played with My grand dad tried to master the Lotus when I was 8 years old. He didnt had a chance 😃

This ia amazing!

At your mates computer in the corner of the dining room when you loaded this for the first time with the main theme “this is gonna be amazing...” ...and it was. Somehow didn’t have the same polish as Lotus 2 but it was endlessly playable

Wow man....memories memories ...miss those days 🥰

Phelan knocks it out of the park, every time. I will say the only track missing from this selection is the "Desert Loading" track from the Easy and Hard Championships, which features the melody of "Tooting Common" from Zool II, but there is not a single tune in this OST that doesn't go hard from beginning to end.

Very good effect on my headphone Fostex TH900, incredible sounds...

No wonder the same people who worked on Top Gear on SNES worked on this, it’s just as stylish~~ man I so wish I had owned an Amiga back in the day I bet I would have loved this game

Never thought making spreadsheets back in the day would be so rad. Oh wait, it's not _that_ Lotus. Whoops.
