The 'Immortal' project started to take shape in the mind of game music composer Ruben Monteiro back in 1997 with the idea of creating an audio CD with studio enhancements of classic Amiga game tunes. Since it would contain only tunes from the Amiga computer's golden era of 1989-1993, it was eventually to be called 'Roots' at first, referring to that music as precisely the roots of today's videogame soundtracks. As development of the project progressed, Ruben started to notice the works of recent Amiga composers and decided to feature some of them on the album as well. However, instead of simply arranging all of the music himself for CD, he approached original artists Allister Brimble, Barry Leitch, Darryl Sloan and Jochen Heizmann, who created studio mixes of their game music. In addition to that, Bjorn Lynne licensed one of his tracks for 'Immortal'. The final product was released in 1999 and featured a CD-Rom part including liner notes as well as a lavishly drawn videoclip featuring the main character from Psygnosis cult game 'Shadow of the Beast'.
