Just noticed a new Final Fantasy IV OC Remix album came out and thought it deserved a post.

Video game music is a huge genre full of amazing and memorable music. For example, composer Yasunori Mitsuda compiled astounding soundtracks for many games including Chrono Cross. Check out the opening in-game music:


Aside from video game soundtracks themselves, remixing game music has gained a huge following. The biggest resource is Overclocked Remix - a site "dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and interpretation of video game music." There are over 1700 free songs - remixes of games both old and new. The sources range from old classics like Mario, Zelda, and Tetris to recent games. It's a great way to celebrate new artist talent and explore variations on familiar themes.

For those who are interested in the original game music itself, check out Gamemp3s which releases game soundtracks - particularly from hard to find foreign soundtracks.
