Turrican music composer Chris Huelsbeck launched a kickstarter project for this game (well sort of). Quoting from Retro Gamer magazine (june 2012 issue):

Quote
"This is particularly interesting, as it's not a game, but rather a CD soundtrack collection. Chris Huelsbeck, who worked on the soundtrack for the original three Turrican games, is aiming to revisit the music from the classic trilogy with the help of a live orchestra. It will be based on the acclaimed soundtrack he released in 1993, and will feature nearly every piece of music from the three games, as well as brand new Turrican artwork, all in a nice-looking special edition package."


That's right folks. The whole Turrican soundtrack performed by a live symphony orchestra. Pledge amounts start at $5 USD with a goal of $75,000. At the time of this writing the goal has been met two times over. You can purchase just a few songs or the whole thing (in digital or CD disc form), plus a few more goodies. If you pledge $300 or more you can also get tickets for the concert, which will happen November 16, 2012 in Cologne, Germany.

That's very cool!  For similar stuff, google the "C64 Orchestra" who have been reworking several greats from those days!
