The Music

After his recent electronic experiences Amin was thrilled to write for and record with a real orchestra for a change. Orchestrated and conducted by Jamie Hopkings and recorded at Manta Eastern Sound by Cory Mandel (of D.A.V.E), the music is an adventure in sound equal to the fantastic IMAX vision. Gold Fever is currently playing at selected IMAX theatres. Please check your local listings for schedules.
