Brentalfloss and friends serenade with 'Ballad of the Mages'
We've always thought that having magical powers would likely solve every problem in our lives, but the latest song from retro-culture songwriter Brentalfloss (accompanied by special guests Mad in the Moon and Mega Ran) proves that may not be the case ... at least in Final Fantasy's universe.
Kickstarter project offers hundreds of video game inspired tunes for a few bucks
If you've been looking for a way to experience more video game and video game-inspired music, here's a pretty cheap one-way ticket right into the scene. Nubuwo is a site that's been created to cover exactly this kind of music, and over on Kickstarter they've compiled the talent of 12 different musicians across quite a few games into one big bundle for sale.For $6, you can pick up either a 92-track "Vocal Pack" featuring the likes of Laura Shigihara, Floex, and the great Mega Ran, or a 150-track "Instrumental Pack" with the soundtracks to The Binding of Isaac, Bit Pilot, and ilomilo.For $9, you get both of those, and for $15 you'll get 25 more tracks from excellent indie games like Spelunky and Antichamber, a couple interview segments with Final Fantasy composers Nobuo Uematsu and Kumi Tanioka, and a few other goodies. Higher donations can get you the tunes on actual CDs, and signed by the composers.
