+<NAME>ScummVM Announces Discworld Music Enhancement Project Completion</NAME>
+<DATE>January 14th, 2009</DATE>
+<AUTHOR>sev</AUTHOR>
+<BODY>
+<p>The developers of ScummVM are pleased to announce that as of today, the 
+classic game Discworld has full support for
+<a href="http://www.jameswoodcock.co.uk/?page_id=54">James Woodcock's Music 
+Enhancement Project</a> within the developers build.  The project started 
+way back in January 2006 as <a href="http://www.jameswoodcock.co.uk">James Woodcock</a> committed himself to use the original 
+MIDI files from various Point and Click Adventure titles, creating enhanced 
+versions using modern MIDI equipment.  He has already released the
+<a href="http://www.jameswoodcock.co.uk/?p=956">Simon the Sorcerer</a> version 
+and can now add Discworld to his completion list:</p>
+<p><i>"I have tried very hard to remain faithful to the originals in respect to 
+the excellent composers creations..."</i> says James Woodcock, creator of 
+the ScummVM Music Enhancement Project.  He continues <i>
+"...There has been a lot of support and interest from Discworld fans, who have 
+been monitoring its progress very carefully and it is with great pleasure I can 
+finally play Discworld using new versions of the original soundtrack with many 
+thanks to the developers of ScummVM for all their hard work in making this 
+feature possible".</i></p>
+<p>James uses the <a href="http://www.yamahapkowner.com/?page_id=93">Yamaha Tyros2 keyboard</a> hooked up to his computer via USB and 
+after going through various tweaking, recording and editing, a finalised music 
+track is born.  </p>
+<p>With permission from legendary author
+<a href="http://www.jameswoodcock.co.uk/?p=796">Terry Pratchett</a> himself, the 
+Discworld enhanced soundtrack (version 2.0) will be released in full and 
+compatible with ScummVM in the future when hopefully we expect the freeware version of the 
+game will be made available to the public to enjoy all over again.</p>
