BGO confirm 'AIAB Soundtrack' rumoursThe music world was in a state of disbeleif today, as BGO Records announced their plans to release a tribute album to mark the 10th release of the popular AmigaInABox software package, reports Ed Harvey for Music World magazine. BGO Records chief executive, Arthur Dining, has long been a follower of the software package, enthusing: |

The album, to be titled 'Boxy but good' will be penned by BGO's in-house song-writting
duo, Lithgoe and Robertson, who have in the past written tracks for such artists as
'Prefab Sprout' and 'Jonny Hates Jazz'. It is rumoured that the pair had already started
on some material long before the albums inception, yet these suggestions have yet to be
confirmed.
BGO-signed popsters 'SClub7' are certain to appear on the album, along with Richard Blackwood, 'H' from Steps, and Melanie Blatt of the now disbanded 'All Saints'. All artists have been given permission to perform royalty-free by their respective labels, after SClub's Rachel Cook suggested they 'should all be allowed to get together' on live TV. She told Music World's Ed Harvey how things transpired: |

Indeed, artists appear to be clamouring over themselves to get signed up, with Dining
claiming the tribute record may need to be a double album, in order to fit everyone on: "We've
already got Joe Walsh dueting with Heather Small; theres that many people wanting to perform!"
'Boxy but good' is scheduled for a February 20th release, to coincide with AIAB developer, James Maurice Battle's birthday. Industry analysts are already predicting the album, which will go on sale for a special fee of just £4.99, will be an instant no.1 best seller, with Eurythmics, BoyZone, and Placebo all rumoured to be contemplating delaying their albums, so as not to hinder sales.
