The Greatest Videogame Music – London Philharmonic Orchestra

Originally sourced from a post I found on paste magazine, the London Philharmonic are releasing a videogame music cd with a healthy mix of tracks from various games new and old.  The title, “The Greatest Video Game Music” seems a bit presumptuous after looking at the tracklist as there are some obvious choices missing.  Though with more than 30 years of music to choose from, back to the traditional 8-bit bleeps and blorps of the NES sound-chip to the fully orchestrated scores composed by film industry composers ala Uncharted 3,  it would be easy to span multiple volumes of CDs.

With the London Philharmoic these tunes will automatically gain some legitimacy, grabbing classic tunes from Super Mario Brothers and Tetris and mixing them with fan favorites from Final Fantasy and then mixing in contemporary videogame music scores such as Uncharted, Splinter Cell Conviction and Mass Effect you have a gateway for music lovers of all types. As I spoke about in a recent post about videogame music, during a sale, there are some film music and classical music fans out there that could easily become videogame music fans given the right introduction. Including Mass Effect and Uncharted, two mentioned in that post are definitely heading things in the right direction.  Below is the tracklist, pre-order [amazon_link id=”B005QW1FB0″ target=”_blank” ]The Greatest Video Game Music[/amazon_link] from Amazon now for November 8th release.

For my money, as I’ve said before, “From the Wreckage” on the Mass Effect soundtrack is one of the most beautifully composed videogame soundtrack cues of all time. Here it is:
