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.
River City
Random: Random
River City Ransom is among
the games that I have never played. I recently gave the game a try
and sadly I wasn't too impressed by it. But I guess you can't like
everything. So when Random made a River City Ransom album, I was
intrigued. I wasn't too fond of the game itself, but I liked Random's
work so I decided to give the album a chance.
Seeing as I have not played
much of River City Ransom and not really knowledgeable of the music
from the game, I didn't know what to expect. The music on the album
has a nice beat to it and like all of Random's work, the backing
music is incredibly tight and flawless and as usual his rhymes are
masterful.
Random seems to be in his
element here, rapping over video game tunes. While his work on
Language Arts is phenomenal, those who prefer his video game raps
will find themselves at home with this album.
The album is a pretty good
deal at 5 bucks. With 9 songs with the lyrics and 9 that are strictly
instrumental work, it allows the listener to choose what he would
like. I myself like it both lyrical work and instrumentals. For 5
Bucks you really can't go wrong and a portion of the proceeds go to
anti bullying charities.
You can find the album on
the Random Bandcamp page
