Codemasters are launching an enhanced version of their kicking tune generator Music, and this time round you'll be able to get involved in virtual jamming sessions over the net. Are you ready? W-w-w one, two, three, four...

MUSIC 2000 is coming to a PC near you in May, Codemasters announced today, and it's going to be literally jam-packed with features.

An extension of the award-winning, best-selling Music, Music 2000 will enable up to four players to join in simultaneous music jamming sessions over the web. You'll also be able to construct and remix music tracks and create and direct accompanying graphics-based "videos". You can also write and arrange tracks with your own edited riffs and manipulated sounds.

According to a Codemasters spokesman, "MUSIC 2000 will enter the genre as the most extensive and powerful music creation package available for home machines and will span many musical styles."

Developed by Jester Interactive, the MUSIC 2000 project is led by respected gaming musician Tim Wright, who aligned gaming and clubbing culture with his work on Wipeout and its sequel.

Priced £34.99, Music 2000 will be out in May. In the meantime, you might like to check out the downloadable, playable demo, which can be found at the dedicated MUSIC 2000 website.
