If you’re a fan of menu music in video games or just have fond memories of that initial starting music you encounter upon boosting up your old cartridges & disks, Materia Collective has a new arrangement album project for you. MENU: An Homage to Game Title Themes features 52 arrangements paying tribute to menu themes across many fan-favorite video games big and small, including Final Fantasy, Overwatch, Celeste, Blue Dragon and a whole lot more.
“For many, opening and menu themes, along with their respective title cards, trigger a great sense of nostalgia. All of these themes are composed and designed with a sense of beginning, acting as gateways towards something bigger. Specifically, we want to encapsulate the feeling of when you first played a game, be it playing a videogame for the very first time or picking up any game for the first time.” – Monica Wang and Ben Wallace, Album Producers
A massive amount of artists and performers contributed to the album, including Reven, Sean Schafianski, Michael Hoffman, John Robert Matz and more. You can check out the entire track listing and credits on the Materia Collective page for the album.
MENU: An Homage to Game Title Themes is currently available on Bandcamp, iTunes and streaming on Spotify.
