A Kind of Magic

A Kind of Magic

Composer Queen Arranger Martin Galway Released 1986/??/?? Length 3:21 Format Games Highlander (C64)

Martin Galway arranged this song for the Commodore 64 adaption of the movie Highlander. The song continues on repeat for the entirety of the awful game.

"A Kind of Magic" is the first track off of the Queen album of the same name. The song was composed by Roger Taylor from a line in the movie that was cut out of the theatrical release. Martin Galway did an amazing job accurately portraying the tune, even including the guitar solo from the original. While the song was not actually featured in the first Highlander movie, some of the samples used in the song were. The track is still closely tied to the Highlander franchise because it is used in Highlander II: The Quickening and the Highlander TV series.
