Dear Subscriber,
The latest album by Mark Sheeky, Stupid Computer Music, is now on sale.
The music is a collection of the best Cornutopia game themes, extended remixes and previously unreleased studio tracks with a similar feel. The music is melodic and commercial, similar perhaps to the chart releases by musicians like Jean-Michel Jarre or Kraftwerk or Mike Oldfield.
CD prices are currently £12.99 including international postage. Downloads in MP3 or FLAC formats are currently £6.99. Each CD order includes an exclusive photo-card of the album cover artwork.
Here are the track details in full:
1. China Syndrome (4:44)
The melody was written for a game called Martian Rover Patrol II but never used. I liked the music though and remastered it for this album.
2. Gunstorm (4:14)
The extended vocal version of the theme song with vocals by the talented singer, and my friend Steven McLachlan.
3. Music For Supermarkets (2:13)

As ever, each sale means a lot to me. My primary motivation is artistic, to create good music and ideally to make enough money to fund future work. I hope that you will primarily love and appreciate the music, but also remember that each order is a token of support for an artist, and for creative independent music.
