Synthesizer Greatest was a series of compilations containing digitally

synthesized tracks by Dutch composer Ed Starink, released on the

ARCADE label. Most tracks were based on originals by well-known

artists, but the compilations also included some of Ed Starink's own

compositions.

As session musician Ed worked with The Beach Boys, David Bowie

and Frank Boeijen. As sound engineer and producer he was involved in

productions of Demis Roussos, Simply Red and many other productions

from the 70s till the 90s. But his most successful engagement is still the

million-selling Synthesizer Greatest (Synthetiseur) series, conceived

and marketed by the Dutch label ARCADE from 1989 until 1996.

This new compilation featuring the classic Synthesizer Greatest

versions of 'Chariots Of Fire', 'Theme From Twin Peaks', 'Axel F',

'Moments In Love', 'Maid Of Orleans', 'Oxygene', 'Autobahn' and

'Crockett's Theme' amongst others, is available as a limited edition of

1000 individually numbered copies on translucent blue vinyl.
