Final Fantasy, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a role playing video game series that was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1987. Final Fantasy VI is the 6th game in the series and was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. The music was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, who coincidentally is a fan of the Fresh Aire series by Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller. One does not necessarily have to play the games to enjoy the music. Music from the Final Fantasy series is arguably the best ever written for video games, and is extremely popular.
The word Magitek itself is from the game Final Fantasy VI and can be simply described as magical technology. Machines that are powered by magic to do unbelievable things. Fans of the game should recognize the word very easily.
Albedo is a New Age music artist who also writes in the Classical, Soundtrack and Dance genres. Since being formed in January of 2002, 9 albums have been officially released including a New Age Christmas album in 2012 that contains a collection of secular and sacred Holiday songs similar in style to Mannheim Steamroller, Kurt Bestor, and Jon Schmidt.
