Super Madrigal Brothers

by Emma

I have to agree with kezins that the “Go Mario (Super Mario Brothers)” sample from the upcoming The Best of the Best: A Tribute to Game Music doesn’t thrill me all that much.

Super Madrigal Brothers. Oliver Cobol and Sir Fashion Flesh take the beloved sounds from games of yesteryear and mix them with musical styles of yore.* They’ve got sample songs, videos, and the interactive Super Minstrel Star - all on that crazy site of theirs.

If the phrase “Psychedelic Nintendo Classicism” makes your little ears perk up, check them out.

There’s a lot of other great video game-inspired music that we’ll get to later…

*…where “yesteryear” refers to the 1980s and “yore” refers to the 1500s.
