This 10-track compilation carries the theme of video game music. Among the artists on this wonderful disc, are some who have developed an IDM cult following like Pacman(Octopus Inc.), Ocone, and Thug and some promising newcomers like Caural and Pliant. The degree to which the artists held to the concept varies quite a bit with Thug’s “Theme From Tsunami Brothers II” sounding straight out of an early Nintendo game to Ocone’s “Zone One Ambassador” which sounds alien and unlike anything I’ve ever heard in a video game. Obviously, this compilation has its share of beeps and bleeps, but it definitely takes things to the next level.
