Video Game Band Awareness

Here lies the summary page for my Video Game Band Awareness project. It's chocked full of great video game and video game-related albums. My current plan is to review video game bands albums, remix albums by random artists/groups, a few of the OCRemix albums, and even some chiptune albums. I'm going to do this only slowly so that it doesn't overwhelm and take over my other posting.

*As of VGBA #11, I no longer "rate" albums. I'll still have the pros and cons, but it won't be rated since these albums are basically among my list of "Best of the Best."

Video Game Band Awareness Reviews
Final Fantasy METAL!

     5 out of 5 - Final Fantasy Metal with lots of awesomeness and attitude contained inside.

     4 out of 5 - Final Fantasy Rock Opera act with good music and good vocals.

     4 out of 5 - A strange yet awesome mixture of NES chiptunes and electronic dance music with several other genres listable here.


     5 out of 5 - A classic example of OCRemix greatness! There's a huge variety and great remixes from a personal favorite of mine, Donkey Kong Country 2.

     4 out of 5 - Great variety of video game covers accompanied by video game inspired original music and AN ACCORDION!


     4 out of 5 - A fun Norwegian Winter Dream journey with chiptunes and space and stuff!


     5 out of 5 - Great video game music and remixes from great video game music people/remixers.


     4 out of 5 - Codename Trigger Thumb starts off their history with a great, moody album full of feelings and good times. Not the best, but it's still great listening!


     3 out of 5 - Amazing and unique chiptunes, but I just couldn't get myself to love the vocals or lyrics. Others out there might decide differently though! 


#10 - Monomer - Quite Operational 
Buy it here
5 out of 5 - A great electronic album with a mixture of synth, chiptunes, and other electronic elements. Easily one of my most favorite albums I got last year.


#11 - Random Battles - Dark World
Buy it here
A great rock/progressive/metal album with video game covers ranging from the known to the unknown. The secret? It's all great stuff!


#12 - The Megas - History Repeating Red
Buy it here
The Megas end their long ongoing saga of Mega Man II with History Repeating Red. Amazing ending to it all, but does it hold up to Blue?

Buy it here
Lots of rock with accordion in this fine collection of video game covers!


#14 - Doug Funnie - Metal Gear Solid: The Mixtape

Metal Gear Solid + Nerdcore = Surprisingly Awesome Album!


#15 - Shnabubula - NES JAMS
Buy it here
Piano Jams meet NES tunes with this great twist of an ablum.


#16 - Lame Genie - Speed Runs
Buy it here
Speedy Speed Runs of Random Yet Awesome Nintendo covers. Pay what you want for some great quick jams.


#17 - Starbomb - Player Select
Check the post for buying options!
Dope jams and hilarious bits mixed together with video games and profanity! A great choice for a less serious listen.


#18 - The Protomen - The Cover Up
Buy it here
The Protomen drop another album of cover music. A great variety and well handled!


#19 - Crunk Witch - Heartbeats in Hyperspace
Buy it here
The beauty of Crunk Witch takes flight with a chiptune electronica dubstep love journey through time and space!


#20 - Band - Album
TBD

VGBA EXPLOSIONS!
Short explanation? Each EXPLOSION will have anywhere from two to four VGBA album suggestions without full reviews. It might seem lazy, but I still plan to have regular album reviews. These are simply albums that (again) I really want to share, but I don't want to take time out of the regular schedule of everything else to do. Basically, it's going to mean more content to see on my blog without wasting as much time. I plan to only do one a month, so that's something to look forward to. Onwards to the EXPLOSIONS!


Side Note - I figure I'm going to split up this page soon. Put the EXPLOSIONS! on one page and the regular reviews by themselves.
