There is no shortage of success stories in the video game music arrangement community. Just a few weeks ago we reviewed Beatdrop’s Burn Out EP, the title track of which is featured in Dance Dance Revolution Universe 3, following his success with “Until Forever” in Dance Dance Revolution Suprnova 2. Jill Goldin, aka “pixietricks,” worked with Christopher Tin to record solo and ensemble vocals for the Civilization IV expansion Beyond the Sword. Jake Kaufman, better known as “virt” to the community, has been a professional composer for years, with high-profile titles like Contra 4 in his extensive portfolio. And this is to name only a few.
However, even in light of all that, with 66 tracks and featuring the work of 21 individual artists, the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Official Soundtrack constitutes the single largest and most diverse contribution by the fan community to a commercial video game ever.
