5 Bucks to Burn
This is a series dedicated to
Indie Game Music whose albums are good but don't get enough
recognition to mainstream gamers. Why not put this with a Lost in the
Music? Some albums, while very good, are sadly too short to warrant a
full article.
However these albums are good
and deserve a mention. The people behind these albums are incredibly
talented and they deserve to be recognized. Five Bucks to Burn will
showcase these artists.
The TRIFORCE of
BASS
Power, wisdom, courage.
These are the three elements that make up the Triforce. However for
todays article, the three elements are DJ Cutman (featuring
Spamtron), Mykah and finally dj-Jo. These three came together to put
together a great album. Each performer taking four songs from
different eras of Zelda history and making covers for them. It's a
great concept to hear 3 different styles on a single series.
Each performer on this
album brings a unique spin on the album. DJ Cutman brings in a
Electronica feeling to the music while mykah utilizes a mix of Techno
and Electronica for his music and finally dj-Jo uses Dubstep. All
three do a fantastic job on the album.'
Of the 12 songs on this
album, the one I find myself going back to would be the first song on
the list. It is DJ Cutman's version of the original Legend of Zelda
Title Screen track. It may be the rose tinted glasses but every time
I hear that song, no matter what version, I can't help but think back
to when I was a small child and playing as Link for the very first
time. More then 25 years later, playing a new Zelda still brings a
smile to my face.
If you have an aversion to
Dubstep then avoid this album because several tracks feature it in
one way or another. I have no problem with it but I know there are
people who are not fond of that style of music.
You can buy the album off
the Gamechops Bandcamp page for about 8 Bucks, but for 12 songs in 3
different styles, you can't go wrong.
This is Daimo Mac and I am
lost in the music.
