genoboost Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Wow after being a fan of OCR since 01 and lurking the boards since around 04 I am actually making my first topic, I am a bit nervous. Anyway, I think it's a good one! Alongside Jeriaska of nobuoo.com My website Game Music 4 All and I have worked very hard to create a brand new compilation. The basics are, we saw fit to pay tribute to an amazing and under appreciated composer who has created VGM for 20 years ever since the SNES days. That composer is Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, who has composed music for a ton of cult classic games such as Pocky & Rocky, Wild Guns, Ninja Warriors and more. The official announcement is here: Official GM4A IWADON announcement Our compilation will be released next week (Free of course) to download! Over 30 tracks including music from Stemage of Metroid Metal, Another Soundscape, Manuel Mora, MutherPluckin' B and several other musicians from all over the globe! Jeriaska is also hard at work creating one video per day with a song from the album to build up to the album release. Yesterday's track was Kento Watanabe and his arrangement of IWADON’s Omega Five track Stage Clear: Report from Destroyer. Watanabe’s rearrangement is titled Report From the 1920s and you can check it out on Vimeo here. http://vimeo.com/10218204 EDIT #1 03/18/10 New video of the remix Spanky's Quest Boss by Crashfaster. Check it out! http://vimeo.com/10239335 I'll be sure to add updated links to new videos, and of course the full album once it's available here!

anosou Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 This will be one hell of an album! I'm a huge fan of Iwatsuki's work (and I've played Tekken 6 with him, he's good with King) and I'm even part of this album. Trust me when I say this will be an extremely diverse tribute to one of the industry's great composers. Artists from Japan and the west are all gathered So yeah, definitely keep an eye out guys because this is gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
