Project Majestic Mix

Mustin writes: "'Project Majestic Mix: A Tribute to Nobuo Uematsu' is the combined effort a group of musicians from around the world, connected only through the Internet. Together, they have created the first legal, fan-made, fan-financed game music album to be released in America. Perhaps the most famous game composer, Nobuo Uematsu is hailed for his work in the 'Final Fantasy' series of RPGs. Nevertheless, the tunes are not kiddy stuff, with a full 74 minutes of arrangements in styles varying from orchestral to rock and techno to jazz. The Silver Edition is currently available for preorder exclusively through AnimeNation.com with a release date of March 31st, and the Unlimited Edition will be obtainable via most online music retailers. To preview mp3 clips of the music and access more detailed information, visit the project's site at www.MajesticMix.com"

  1. .MOD files, anyone? by EschewObfuscation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is it just me, or does this music sound like virtually every .MOD file downloaded in the early 90's?

    Now, I admit to being enough of a square that I played my mods on a PC, and I admit that they probably didn't sound nearly as good as I remember them (although axelf.mod was *very* popular at the time...), but these tunes are eerily familiar...
