"Tempest 2000" is a tube shooter video game originally developed by Llamasoft and published by Atari Corporation 

for the Atari Jaguar in North America on 13 April, 1994, later released in Europe on 27 June of the same year

and finally in Japan on 15 December of the same year as well.
"Tempest 2000" was critically acclaimed with critics praising the graphics, gameplay and soundtrack. 

It is often considered as one of the best games released for the Jaguar and as of 1 April 1995, the Jaguar version

has sold more than 30,000 copies during its lifetime, making it one of the best selling games for the system.
The original Atari Jaguar version's music was created by Ian Howe, Alastair Lindsay, Kevin Saville and Julian Hodgson 

of Imagitec Design (a.k.a. Dream Weavers), who also created the music for "Defender 2000" on the Jaguar as well.
The music was composed in the Commodore Amiga MOD file format,

although non-Jaguar releases of the game played music from a CD.

At the time of its release, the music soundtrack could also be purchased on CD directly from Atari. 

The CD was also bundled with the Atari Jaguar CD to demonstrate the system's Virtual Light Machine music visualizer.
It became the basis for the audio for all conversions of the game to come including the PC, PlayStation and Saturn versions.
Several tracks, however, were not used in the Jaguar version due to cartridge space constraints.
The video game picked up an award for the "Best In-game Music" at the 1994 CES show.

Soma was an instrumental, electronic/organic/cinematic project 

featuring the talents of Australian composers David Thrussel, of Black Lung and Snog fame,

and Pieter Bourke known from his collaborations with Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance.
The music of Soma is built on the relationship and alliance between 

melodic/danceable structures and masses of various "found" sounds.

The overall effect invokes a cascade of B-grade psychological/horror/thrillers, spaghetti westerns,

strangely political sci-fi films and a vast volume of the finest conspiracy literature.

The duo began working together in 1993 when Thrussell approached Bourke 
about the possibility of remixing some tracks of Bourke's band Eden.

The Eden remixing sessions yielded the first Soma compositions. 

Soma developed into a full-time project when Bourke moved in with Thrussell 

after a fire had destroyed his flat, allowing the two more time to work together.

Their debut self titled album was released in 1993 followed by "Hollow Earth" in 1994 

and featured most of the tracks of "Soma" album slightly revised and was well-received critically.

In 1996 they released "The Inner Cinema" album that was issued, like their previous one, on Extreme Records.
