Over the last few months, GameChops founder DJ Cutman has been posting some of my favorite tracks to his personal YouTube channel. They all hail from his older albums and they simply feature game music, with a beat, slowed down to a jam-worthy tempo. It turns out this wasn’t a coincidence as he recently launched…

You might recognize Cuphead as the dazzling looking “playable cartoon” that we’ve been catching glimpses of since late 2013. Yes, it’s been that long, but most of the coverage over those last four years has come from flashy sizzle reels or the raucous halls of E3 and PAX. In those settings it’s easy to see…

Like composer Rich Douglas (Shadowgate, Lifeless Planet), Out of this World/Another World hit me in a special way. While Douglas picked up the PC original in 1991 it was the 1994 Sega CD release that wowed us both (and many others) with Jean-Francois Freitas’ atmospheric soundtrack. The classic adventure game has seen a few HD…

Halted by the game’s striking art style, I clicked ‘play’ on the trailer for Jettomero: Hero of the Universe and then immediately went searching for the soundtrack. The game just launched on Steam and Xbox One, and while I’m interested in its procedurally generated universe and hapless hero who’s trying not to destroy everything, I…

Mario, Sonic, Bendy & More: A GameChops New Release Roundup

Comments Off on Mario, Sonic, Bendy & More: A GameChops New Release Roundup
Share this
This surprising “deep house meets future bass” remix of Super Mario 64’s “Dire Dire Docks” makes for a great start to a quick GameChops roundup. The indie game music label is still riding high from the release of their collaborative Sonic the Hedgehog tribute album, Spindash 2, but they’ve been steadily releasing new singles all…

Mitch Murder’s new Mega CD OST that never existed

Comments Off on Mitch Murder’s new Mega CD OST that never existed
Share this
After his somber score to the totally-real PC game Impact Winter Mitch Murder has returned with a new soundtrack to another game that never existed with Zero Strike OST. I picture this imaginary Sega Mega CD game as a side-scrolling shooter with designs of the Robotech variety. Besieged cityscapes, swarm missiles, dark volcano lairs, “Huge…

Switched on SNES: A Link to the Past Cassettes & New Album Announced

Comments Off on Switched on SNES: A Link to the Past Cassettes & New Album Announced
Share this
Back in late Spring the initial run of Switched on SNES: A Link to the Past on cassette sold out pretty quickly. The selection of classic Zelda themes rearranged for analog synthesizers is still available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube but for those who missed the physical offering there is once again hope. Pre-orders are…
