For as big as the video game music scene has gotten in the past few years and as many games have been covered, there’s still so many more that don’t get enough love, and Journey to Silius is one of them. The side-scrolling, run-n-gun game was published by Sunsoft for the NES and had it’s soundtrack composed by Naoki Kodaka (Batman NES, Fester’s Quest), and is now receiving a bit of love from Michael “Sir_NutS” Molina in the form of an eight-track arrangement album, “Silius: 0373”.
Molina has worked on other arrangement albums for the past decade, including Legacy: Game Boy 25th Anniversary and For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man, and “Silius 0373” marks his first solo album.
This album features a varied range of genres, from rock, modern EDM, chiptunes, classic 80’s synthpop and more.
The album will also feature contributions from the insanely talented Jivemaster and Showroom_Dummy, while the incredible retro album art and trailer was made by the The_Coop.
I hope fans of underrated gems like this game, as well as fans of Sunsoft soundtracks in general will be able to enjoy the work I’m putting into this. – Sir_Nuts via Facebook
The album can be purchased on Overclocked Records for $5.99.
