There are a few The Immortals: 1) A short solo project with Robert Ahwai (guitar), John Deacon (bass, from Queen) and Lenny Zakatek (vocals) from 1986 where they recorded one song called No Turning Back for the film Biggles. 2) Praga Khan and Oliver Adams, best known for their work; the band Lords of Acid. The sideproject was created for the first Mortal Kombat soundtrack in 1994. However they debuted their track "Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat)" in 1992, when it was released as a single; it was also used in TV advertisements for "Mortal Monday" (September 13, 1993), the date when the game was released for consoles. The track has also subsequently become known as "the Mortal Kombat theme song". They also appeared for a set of remixes of the JX track "Close To Your Heart". They also mixed original music with sound effects from the Mortal Kombat arcade game for the theme of the film based on the game. In 1994 Virgin US asks Praga Khan and Oliver Adams to write and produce an album for the #1 videogame "Mortal Kombat". Of course they couldn't refuse this challenge. Virgin sends them a "sega console together with the Mortal Kombat game. Oliver and Praga start playing Mortal Kombat for 4 weeks and become masters in virtual martial arts. Playing Mortal Kombat inspired them to write the perfect soundtrack for this energetic game. They wrote a song about each character plus the Mortal Kombat theme. The vocals were done by Dieter Troubleyn (ex-roadie of Praga Khan), Julie Wells (singer of Channel X), Praga and Oliver. 3) The Immortals - The Ultimate Warlord produced by Producer(s): Ian Gienther and Willi Morrison This is a later re-issue of the Immortal's classic. "Ultimate Warlord" is widely believed to be one of the first Hi-NRG records. First released in the US in 1979 Besides their work on THP Orchestra, Grand Tour, Sticky Fingers, Skatt Brothers... Will Morrison and Ian Guenther produced this dark electronic number by the Imortals on Moby Dick. "The Ultimate Warlorld" almost has a Euro sound with Patrick Cowley synth stylings thrown in. This was a single played often by DJ Bobby Viteritti of Trocadero Transfer. Originally released in 1979 this track by The Immortals was produced by Canadian producers Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison who were responsible for some of disco's greatest productions. These projects included THP Orchestra, Sticky Fingers, The Duncan Sisters, Big Smoke, Grand Tour, etc. Their touch was always musically innovative and always magical. No doubt that their production of The Immortals pushed them far ahead of their sound. 4) a Nigerian band which mixed traditional African music with American funk and rock, probably most noted for their song "Hot Tears" which was collected on Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump (and which Dusted Magazine compared as an African counterpart to garage rock legends, The Sonics).
