Game Music Remixes

[Harrison]

Some of you already know that I really like Game Music and am always on the search for more great Game Albums to add to my collection.

But what about classic game music remixes? Chip tunes from the 8-bit and 16-bit era remixed into full orchestral or rock performances.

Who has heard of "Press Play On Tape"?

Check this performance out for a start. It is a remix of Monty On The Run from the C64.

Keep watch right to the end for a great violin performance (even though some moaned it was out of tune - well you can't please everyone).

There are also loads of similar ones on youtube from "Press Play on Tape".

Another couple you will all love are:

Monkey Island - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w7_sfWXnwVI
Outrun - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=d_zzkzFEr54

And you have to watch the following one of Cannon Fodder. It is mad because of the devices they are using to play the tune. Plus a special guest appearance. You just have to see it.
