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.

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.

Damn, I’ve been blown away by an album I discovered by accident.

We Are Pilots by Shiny Toy Guns is so damn awesome and is now my current top album. For anyone who hasn’t heard of them or heard their music, its kind of Indie Disco kind of electronica stuff. It may sound trite to most, but it’s exactly the kind of upbeat music I need at the moment. You can listen to some songs on their myspace page, or go to the official website here, I’d reccomend you buy the album, if you like that kinda thing.

And since the album cover is quite inconspicuous, to aid you in finding it in stores, I give you the cover art:

In other news…

I have planned a small website design revamp, and since I’ve been neglecting my designing duties (too busy working) I will be trying to get some fresh pixel art up soon.

That’s all for now.
