1337 1 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I was wandering around the intarwebz the other day, when I came across this: http://hotdogstorm.com/genoboost/genesis/ Now, I will not profess to be a massive fan of the Genesis (its way before my time ), but having listened to the album, there's a pretty good line up. If you're keen on video game music, its got a good 39 tracks worth checking out. Also, another video game artist I'll mention here (because they're on the album, but have some other game remixes) is the Red Wings (http://www.redwingsmusic.com/). They do rock/metal remixes of various game music, including one of Aerith's theme from Final Fantasy 7, and even Animal Crossing. Two lots of vg music for you all to check out.

NNY Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 This is pretty tight so far. I'm on track 2 right now, The Verses of Genesis. Really nice sampling there. Casino Night Zone was a surprise though. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 1 Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I am on thisbut Bucky and I have the only chiptunes I saw your name, right after I pressed "submit", and thought "damn, should probably put that info in there". By the time I could get to it, you'd already said though Still, its a nice track you did there Shame there weren't more chiptunes; they're underrated in the world of music, sadly.

Sindra Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 'Sonic' is made of win & AWESOME. Simply for the acapella Sega chime at the beginning. I'm liking the Robotnik medley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sengin Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Was this a response to another post? It's odd how these types of things linger without context. This is a tribute to the runner up of the 16-Bit console war, the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive). This is a collection of 39 tracks, new and old, for a console constantly considered full of suck. I assume this is what was referred to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That was quite insulting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindra Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Ironically enough, it was the 20th birthday of the Sega Genesis just a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniacodepressif Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Looking back today, i agree not many Genesis games holds out over time. 39 is almost pushing it but, nonetheless, some music tracks we're pretty good, even if they would have sounded better on another 16 bit system i will not name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelmojo Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Why create a tribute album and name it something that's going to alienate your target audience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah personally I'm not too happy with the console I grew up with being called the LOSER. and I REALLY didn't appreciate the original CD cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadosho Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Listening to the album right now, I have to admit I wasn't sure at first. But after tuning into a few tracks, I am really enjoying this tribute album. Crazy title though, but overall a fun bevy of tribute songs. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APZonerunner Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah personally I'm not too happy with the console I grew up with being called the LOSER. and I REALLY didn't appreciate the original CD cover. It was a winner in Europe, at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DramaNoMore Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 It was a winner in Europe, at least! I confirm that, I was there to experience it. Casino Night Live was the only one that caught my ear... Good stuff there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moguta Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Casino Night Zone was a surprise though. Beautiful. Wow, no kidding. I've never heard of these Runaway Five, but after checking them out, man, they've got to be one of the slickest fan VGM bands yet. Sweet, sweet jazz.

NNY Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Although I do think the trumpet was a bit weak. He needs to play with more confidence. Edit: I don't mind the name for the album. I grew up on Sega Genesis as opposed to SNES. I think the title fits, in an ironic sort of way. Jesus, this is a tribute album, you think they honestly feel the Genesis is a true loser?

Murmeli Walan Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Despite it being almost entirely a straight cover, I like Big Head Mode's version of Mystic Cave Zone on this album, mostly because I'm a huge fan of the original, and this version really adds some power to it. My other favorites are the cover of Billie Jean, the ToeJam & Earl rap (great intro), and the "Sonic" track, which is nearly 8 minutes of awesome. I like the "Labyrinth Zone" song too, even though it's not a remix of the Labyrinth Zone music at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaNoMore Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I like the "Labyrinth Zone" song too, even though it's not a remix of the Labyrinth Zone music at all. Yeah, that surprised me. But the lirics seem to have a lot to do with that zone. Does anyone knows where I can find them in print? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone knows where I can find them in print? I don't know, I've been looking for them myself. I found the group's myspace page, but I didn't find anything there (except more catchy songs ).
