It’s been a really active year for OverClocked ReMix thanks to increased awareness of the game music remix community. I skipped on their recent niche releases due to lack of interest, but their latest project sends them off 2010 with a high note: a reinterpretation of the Legend of Zelda: Link’s [...]

Well, well, well…these guys came out of nowhere. Crescendo is apparently an ongoing show featuring international music artists, as the intro so boldly states. I’m just glad that they recognize good video game music! “To Zanarkand”, Final Fantasy X’s main theme, is argubly one of Nobuo Uematsu’s [...]

Leaked from their panel during PAX 2010, OverClocked ReMix revealed their next free-to-download tribute album: Final Fantasy V: The Fabled Warriors. Try saying that three times fast. Not exactly a surprise since their work on Final Fantasy IV awhile back was really solid. On the other hand, this [...]

Two surprises in one package, eh? Not too bad. As you can see, graphic style and gameplay look similar to Mega Man: Powered Up, only less Chibi. Two things are revealed at the end of the trailer: Ryu as a playable character and the people responsible for the rocking music remixes. Guess what? [...]

Update September 2nd 2010: an even newer link has been revealed today. While it’s still in beta phase, this new site will be your number one source for everything DoD. I should’ve written this post ages ago. I’ve been noticing a surge of DoD searches being directed to some of my old write-ups. [...]

Ever since the announcement of the long-awaited revival of the Donkey Kong Country series, I’ve been curious about its composer. It’s not because my bias towards video game music. Fans of the series will immediately tell you how awesome the soundtracks are. From the catchy DKC self-proclaimed theme [...]

Welcome to our ongoing feature in which we highlight talented musicians who arrange/cover videogame music! That’s quite a mouthful, but isn’t much compared to the handle name of today’s artist: SongeLeReveur. I’m pretty sure it’s French for “I am awesome” since his YouTube profile says he’s from [...]

I wish I can attend one of these “Video Games Live” concerts someday. Sadly, most of them are US-exclusive and I highly doubt we’ll get a worldwide tour anytime soon. Nonetheless, that doesn’t stop VGL from promoting itself through other means. We just got a press release with details on the show’s [...]

Click the image for the full results. Click here for a RAR pack of all songs. I don’t consider myself to be a huge Ninja Gaiden fan. I haven’t even played Ninja Gaiden 3 to this day, let alone attempt to finish any of the NES classics. However, I can’t deny that the series is part of my childhood. [...]

What, what, what? Didn’t OverClocked ReMix just release a Xenogears album last month? These things usually take longer to churn out, right? Well…surprise, surprise. OCR’s 16th album is out: Castlevania — Sonata of the Damned. Just in time for Halloween (happy belated Halloween, btw!). After all, no [...]

Ask…and you shall receive. This month, our rockers over at The Shizz deliver some sweet selections of Game Boy music via live instruments (electric guitars mostly).  The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and The Pokemon series come to mind when thinking about good Game Boy music, yet surprisingly [...]

Yes, the band is called Monkey Kong…and its members hail from Sweden. I discovered this band through OC ReMix, recently releasing their version of Donkey Kong Country’s “Aquatic Ambiance” track, appropriately named “Dolphin Ride“. Definitely one of the best interpretations of the track I’ve ever [...]

Ah, I have so many good memories about Xenogears. Squaresoft was on a role back in the PS1 era, producing many great RPGs. Xenogears was one of those games that had an awesome concept back then. It remains to be the best game ever that encompasses the whole Mecha genre: a complex story, very [...]
