Album 2 - Choose Your Character!

by The 8-Bit Big Band

supported by

Poesy Rider Plus qu'une confirmation du premier album (qui était déjà vraiment bon), un grand pas en avant, avec plus de diversité dans les styles de jazz invoqués. Une réussite ! Favorite track: The Chocobo Theme (From "Final Fantasy").

JayTheSoundHound I'm normally a sax guy, but the trombones are so swanky on Spring Yard Zone. Still alive is such a killer track too. This album has absolutely pumped me up in a way that's hard to describe in words. The raw passion and talent on display, mate it's off the charts! Stop reading and buy a copy already, my god! I hope this ends up on CD or Vinyl some day, I'd love to play this from a record for my mom to enjoy. If you know somebody who says video game music "isn't real music" show them this. Favorite track: Spring Yard Zone (From "Sonic the Hedgehog").

cartep How is this vgm cover band so good?! Nearly every one of their songs is like the music version of really, really good mac and cheese Favorite track: Spring Yard Zone (From "Sonic the Hedgehog").
