Discs One and Two of ED HUNTER contain tracks in the order of votes received on the Iron Maiden website to determine the "Top 20 Maiden tracks of all time." Disc Three is a CD-Rom game featuring these same songs. Producers: Martin Birch, Steve Harris, Nigel Green, Will Malone. Talk about bang for your buck! One of the most popular heavy metal bands of all time closed out the 20th century with a package that says "thank you" to the group's longtime fans: a triple-disc set that includes the group's 20 best tunes and a CD-ROM computer game based on the band's famed mascot. Metal fans and computer buffs unite! "Iron Maiden (live)" is definitive Maiden, featuring vocalist Bruce Dickinson's famous battle cry "scream for me," issued here to the rabid Long Beach crowd. Fans will understand why "The Trooper," with its precision playing and unrelenting bass line, had to be included in this set. "The Number of the Beast" is one of the classic metal tunes of all time, featuring Maiden's twin-axe assault of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. "2 Minutes to Midnight" and "Aces High" are powerful, well-produced tunes from arguably Maiden's most fruitful era. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" begins slowly but builds to a mega-metal climax. "Phantom of the Opera" and "Killers," both of which feature original vocalist Paul D'ianno, are tight, well-crafted metal treasures. ED HUNTER is a fabulous collection of tunes that also boasts a fast-paced, challenging, and state-of-the-art video game. |
