Title: Game-Influenced Music Post by: Sureshot on July 19, 2004, 01:03:24 PM Was thinking to myself today about music that was created with a certain game in mind, or is composed in the style of game music - maybe it sounds like a SID or it uses a sample from a game.  So I thought it would be interesting to see what tunes people know that have been made past and present, with gaming elements involved. ÂÂÂ
Incidentally, I'm leaning more to the side of 'slightly major' band, in that I know of sites such as OCRemix and so on who make remixes of game tunes, but I'm looking for tunes 'real' artists have released. Here's some I can think of: Dr. Spin - Tetris Ambassadors Of Funk f. MC Mario - Supermarioland Aphex Twin - Powerpill Pacman Game Over - Nintendo Metal (EP) Hrvatski - Insect Digestion Melancholy Cocoa Brovaz - Super Brooklyn Benefit - Warp To World 69 Apocalyptica - Zelda Main Theme DJ Hype - R-Type The Laziest Men On Mars - Invasion Of The Gabber Robots (All Your Base Are Belong To Us) Audio Karate - Nintendo 89 Bomb The Bass - Megablast Squarepusher - Journey To Reedham (7AM Mix) M.J.Hibbett & The Validators - Hey Hey 16K The Mad Capsule Markets - Fly High Roni Size - Sound Advice Title: Re: Game-Influenced Music Post by: Izret101 on July 19, 2004, 07:02:41 PM System of a Down did one for Link it was about 1minute 10 seconds long and it covered basically the main points about the plot line i dont remember the name of it but it was funny

Check it out: http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR00022 Title: Re: Game-Influenced Music Post by: jonlester on July 20, 2004, 02:04:41 AM Anybody know who did that song a few years ago that was basically the Mario Bros. theme with some campy vocals on top? I never heard it identified when it was on college radio all the time...

Title: Re: Game-Influenced Music Post by: Lord Nepenthean on July 27, 2004, 10:45:07 AM Tony Fox NYC released an entire album of game-themed techno at CGE2K2. Great stuff that you should check out. There's also a band named Pus who I think are Swedish that do all of their music using only a GameBoy, from what I've heard. I've heard one of their albums, and it was pretty cool. There's also a band called Game Over that do Nintendo metal songs. www.nintendometal.com for more. VNV Nation or Welle did a song a while back that was video game-themed. I can't think of the name of it offhand though. Oh, and this isn't major artist stuff, but check out www.gamingfm.com for straight-up video game tunes.
