Have you ever heard of a shmup series called Gradius? Well, I’ve only heard music from Gradius V, composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto, but recently, a WiiWare game, entitled Gradius ReBirth, featuring music arranged by Manabu Namiki of Basiscape. Although you can only get the Gradius ReBirth Original Soundtrack from the Konamistyle store, I was more interested in this arrange album that was also being released around the same time. Entitled Gradius House Remix, it features, as you’d suspect, arrangements of classic Gradius themes, mostly of the first game. Even though I’m not familiar with the source material, I figured I’d take a chance with the remix album. I might not dance, but I love music that makes it easy for me to at least bob my head!
