Xoc
Being a child of the 80s, I love listening to bands such as The Minibosses or The Advantage cover NES/SNES tunes from Mega Man, Contra, and other classic games of my childhood. Composers for earlier game consoles were given a limited musical palate, yet such technological constants helped further creativity, and forged greater compositions.
What happens, however, when these tunes get transformed by electronic musicians, metalheads, and multi-instrumentalists? In case of artist Xoc, his talent, vision, and 30+ instruments realized a brilliant interpretation of entire Super Mario World soundtrack.

Wizards and Warriors -- NES 1987
I recall entering a mild trance while flinging Kuros around tree and castle. Feverish 8 bit Passacaglia. My favorite soundtrack. EXCELLENT GAME!!!
Oh yes, Zelda etc.. some of the most engaging music composed in the late 20th century.. This must prove the benefit of economy, hopefully a valuable lesson for musicians. (rocks fruity loops)
