"As with most of you in this community, I have an absolute fascination, respect, and love for game soundtracks. While growing up with my Super Nintendo and PS1, I had tons of fun with the actual games, melodies that I’d be humming later on over and over. This has continued all the way to today, where I use all the music I’ve experienced as inspiration for my own projects. It’s fun & heartwarming to logon and see what new crazy releases are being shown off,speculating about what different labels are about to do next, someone obtaining and showing off their grail, creating new memes, and of course the ever-creative ISO posts. It’s truly something special, and I’m happy to be alone for the ride!" - Kyle Russo

Persona 4 - Your Affection Cover By Kyle Russo

"For me, 'Besaid Island' from Final Fantasy X is tranquility-in-melody; a warm afternoon breeze of new beginnings, a familiar hug. It's "home" - not only my 
contribution to this album but also my favorite video game song. I’ve never been a very vocal member of the VGM vinyl community but I’ve been there 
since early 2018. The joy around upcoming releases and unexpected surprises are the cherry on top of a deep adoration for gaming & game music. 
Group pinned, Notifications on. Always! My vision for Besaid was to create a rich, synth-feel while still retaining the original's calm. It's amazing and scary 
at the amount of talent and passion that's gone into this one single cover album; jumping on this opportunity to express myself is only matched by my love for this niche hobby and the full stop of the VGM vinyl community being something very special." - Michael Villalon

"When I entered this community, I was amazed by everyone’s camaraderie and genuine collaborative effort to find those that sought-after grail. It’s a real eye-opening experience to see an actual community. And I think that this record is the manifestation of this sentiment. All the artists felt comfortable 
to make something they really love; no boundaries, no creative limitations. I hope that you feel this joy when listening to this record, because I am super glad that my band is a part of it. Enjoy!" - Robert Chrystian from Dark Phoenix

Streets of Rage 2 - Dreamer In Love (Jazz Fusion Mix) by Dark Phoenix

Nobuo Uematsu. Yasunori Mitsuda. Square has a knack for hiring great composers. In SNES’ heyday, if you told a story and needed to hit those emotional beats, then music served as the emotional backbone playing a larger role than the story itself. With Secret of Mana, composer Hiroki Kikuta wrote a score capturing both to perfection. “Phantom and A Rose” (sad town theme) and “A Wish” (the ice country theme) are two very memorable pieces of music to me, playing over and over in my head.

All songs presented on this compilation is a labor of love for the games, composers and the VGVC community to which we belong. In the two years that I have been a part of this group, I have experienced nothing but kindness and friendship. It’s a group of enthusiastic collectors that can often be more than just getting video game music on vinyl. 

There are few great places on the internet and this is easily one of the best.

"I fell in love with video game music all over again listening to the new arrangements and mixes made by fans just like me!" - Benny

Chrono Trigger - Corridor Of Time (Lofi Mix) By Benny

“I chose "Wandering Flame” from Final Fantasy X as I truthfully feel is a breathtaking scene from the game. It evokes beauty and warmth; heavy, emotional vibes. I always felt WF would lend itself well to a more chilled out drum and bass tone, so I gave it my best shot! This project showcases such love and devotion to sounds from some of our favorite games; “Wandering” reflects that in a deep yet steadfast manner on wax. The VGM vinyl scene has so many devotees; the energy, time and mone we put into this is as rich as the relationships forged. It's a beautiful thing, and I'm thankful to be here - it has literally changed my life.” - Staticalpha

"This FB community is incredible - so much knowledge, passion, and love for VGM music, as well as fellow members. One of them found it worthwile to have members create their own cover songs and put it on wax. That someone is Nichey Finger. He asked us to propose one track for this community-based compilation album. For us, it is an honor to be able to give some of our chiptune work and the idea to be present on a wax was so rad! As such, we wanted to show our love to the underrated soundtrack "Shadow Dancer" on Megadrive/Genesis. Covering "Statue of liberty" with YM2151 specialties inside a chiptune we produced a song that gets people moving & hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!" - Cyberdeous
