Blackula Jonez Truly inspired & spirited renditions of my favorite game of all time. Waited until a Bandcamp friday to purchase so Monte could get what he deserved for this rocking ride down memory lane. Hope to see more from you good Sir. Favorite track: Empire – The Final Assault.

Evan Lahti An actual miracle. Gunstar has not received the mainstream attention that NES classics have in VGM circles, and this album adds to the evidence that it's a spectacular and timeless game. The bassline in "Empire" alone is worth $5. Favorite track: Empire – The Final Assault.

rostre This album manages to give a fresh sound to these legendary tracks whilst still remaining utterly faithful to the source material. I've never heard any other OST remix work do this so successfully. I am so grateful that this exists, thank you Monte! Favorite track: Empire – The Final Assault.

about

Gunstar Heroes has always been one of my favorite video game soundtracks. The soundtrack was an inspiration to me musically and as a keyboardist. The soundtrack's distinct synthesizer sound has heavily influenced my own synthesizer work. The extremely dense and complex combination of unique tones is unparalleled in the SEGA Genesis repertoire. What Norio Hanzawa accomplished—and the sounds he generated—with the Yamaha YM2612 (the SEGA Genesis sound chip), is truly legendary. This album is a tribute to him and his monumental work on the soundtrack for Gunstar Heroes.

For this project, I picked my favorite songs that I believe work well for a synthesizer-driven, progressive rock album. With the help of seventeen profoundly talented artists, I present to you: Legend of the Gunstar Heroes.

Enjoy!
