Video games offer us a whole world of music that we don't normally find through the traditional outlets for music. The modern world of streaming and more democratization of arts distribution has of course allowed for easier paths to discover all of these wonderful musical delights... But that's a whole other discussion to be had. Today, we're talking about something else: What is better video game music, classic 8-bit and 16-bit era video game music or modern video game music? Join us as we attempt to debate something pretty darned subjective and see if we can extract any truths from this very opinion based discussion.

Master Porky's Theme - Giygas Remix -

Cover of "Your Name, Please" from Earthbound/Mother 2, first released in 1994 for the SNES/Super Famicom. Music composed by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka, with Hiroshi Kanazu and Toshiyuki Ueno.

I wanted to put my own spin on this tune while retaining its core groove and melody.

The main points of change are: the intro, the bassline, the addition of a guitar part and the addition of a high harmony to the lead synth in the latter part of the track. Otherwise, aside from some instrument differences, the arrangement is largely unchanged from the SNES original.

Instruments used:
Synth lead, pad, plinks and bass: Roland JV-1080
Bass: Fender Highway One Precision Bass
Electric guitar: Yamaha SG500
Drums:
- Roland Cloud TR-707 vst
- "Snare 32" from ZERO-G DATAFILE ONE
- "brotherly kick" from Juesswork's Roughcuts Drumkit
- "lofi noise (6)" from KrillBeats' LoFi Drum Kit Vol. 2
Recorded in Ableton Live 10 Standard

Credits:
Composed by: Keiichi Suzuki, Hirokazu Tanaka, Hiroshi Kanazu, Toshiyuki Ueno
Arranged and performed by: BobbyAlgernon
