Video game remix albums, or arrangements as they seem to be known by some (most?), are one of my prime sources of aural enjoyment these days. They bring back the memories of my youth, and at the sime time wow me with the fantastic edges they have been given. I love that feeling of “Oh wow!” when you recognise a song that’s been done in a totally new way.

Hedgehog Heaven Cover Art 2

Recently, I found a supurb resource for downloading remixed versions of “classic” video game songs, all free of charge of course. and on this holy grail of websites, I found 4 full albums that for me stood out. Project Chaos, which is a Sonic the Hedgehog & Knuckles arrangement album, Hedgehog Heaven, which is all about Sonic 2, The Dark Side Of Phobos, a Doom remix album, and Blood on the Asphalt, a Street Fighter 2 remix album.

Each song can be downloaded individually or as a complete album.

The songs are all VERY well produced, high quality, good bitrate, and range from rock, hip hop, dance, metal, R&B, Orchestrated, Piano, and even some vocals. Really smoothly done music, with real insturments in many cases (no lame midi’s here). So if you are into that kind of thing, check them out, I HIGHLY reccomend them.

OCRemix - This place is where i found loads of great remixes, and the links to the torrents of the above.

Project Chaos - The S3K Album official website, where you can grab cover art and disc art, as well as the album. Sweet!

Hedgehog Heaven - The Sonic 2 album website, also has cover art and the album on here and some more info on the songs.

Blood On The Asphalt - The Street Fighter 2 album site, again, you can download the album here and the cover art.

The Dark Side Of Phobos - The Doom Remix Album, A damn nice website where you can grab the album/cover art.
