Oh man, so excited about this one.  "Kraid Five" is an arrangement of "Kraid" from Metroid, composed by Hirokazu Tanaka, in the style of "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.  I'm really happy with how this came out.  Hope I've given them and Metroid (one of my all time favorite games) a worthy homage!

This is an original arrangement of Yasuhiro Kawasaki's "The Town By the Sea" from Illusion of Gaia (Illusion of Time).  Oh my goodness, this game and its soundtrack give me such an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.  I'm really happy with how this recording turned out.  I hope I've done the song justice!  Flute seemed like the appropriate weapon of choice here, don't you think (see what I did there)?

This track is a medley of two songs from Breath of Fire II - "Decadence of God" and "Nightmare" by Yuko Takehara.  I did my best to make this arrangement ROCK - I hope you find that I succeeded!

This is an original arrangement of "Hammerhead" from Final Fantasy XV, composed by Tetsuya Shibata.  For all its flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough of this game and my time with the four bros.  The entire soundtrack for Final Fantasy XV is a masterpiece in my opinion, and "Hammerhead" was stuck in my head for weeks after playing.  I couldn't wait to record this one!
