You may remember Jack Menhorn’s from our “Mirror’s Edge is Still Alive” contest back in February. He was our runner-up, and as it turns out, he’s also a pretty versatile musician. He recently posted a chiptune album titled Music For Games to his website, featuring 6 tracks that vary in style from the dancey “Dip Chance” to my favorite, “Stride Get!,” which has a nice whimsical melody that reminds of Guardian Legend. The artwork is also pretty snazzy, reminding me of Final Fantasy III on the DS.
Oh, and that’s not all. If you check out the music section on his website, you’ll find a flash player with some additional non-chip tracks. In particular, I like “Jazz – HeyMoon” and the dreamy “Random – retniw.” Anyway, it’s all free, so there’s not reason not to check it out. I’d love to hear him do a jazz album next.
Anything on his site catch your fancy? Do you dig the cover art for his Music For Games release?

Yeah…that is hot cover art. Lots of chiptune artists have abused the layout of NES cartridges, but using a DS case as your template is pretty clever.
