Video Games Live Goes To Super Mario World
September 16, 2016
Video Games Live has created dozens of memorable orchestral rock adaptations of favorite video game soundtracks from Sonic the Hedgehog to Chrono Trigger to Street Fighter II, and the group's latest album, Level 5, keeps the hits coming. Featuring music from games including Metroid, Ico, Phoenix Wright, and Okami, the album is required listening for game soundtrack fans. My favorite track from Level 5 has to be a medley of music from Nintendo's classic 1991 Super NES hit, Super Mario World. Take a musical journey through Dinosaur Land with this cut from Level 5 and then head over to check out the other tracks. I've had the good fortune to attend VGL's live shows several times in the past few years and they never cease to entertain, amaze, and poke the nostalgic sweet spot. Be sure to see about tickets if and when they tour in your area. I eagerly await Level 6!
