With his crowdfunded remix albums "Reformation" and "Reformation 2", Matt Gray created over 75 quality C64 remixes in his meanwhile established style. But the 3rd installment was special: Next to remixing big C64 classic chiptunes, for the first time Matt had been diving into Amiga music, as well. And due to the increasing cost in CD production, the original Reformation 3 crowdfunding campaign was for a "digital only" release! Later, Matt added a higher tier reward for a limited amount of backers who wanted physical CDs. Only a low number of CDs was ever pressed and these were originally only available for the backers of the crowdfunding campaign. Now, Protovision has secured a limited number of these physical CDs, which are now exclusively available for direct ordering via the Protovision webshop.
