Style: Video game music
Primary Emotions/Themes: An orchestral rearrangement of a gameboy classic
Thoughts: Talk about soundtracks that I never thought would get a vinyl pressing and this one is right up there. Super Mario Land is a game that I remember playing laying on a bed at my grand parents house who lived in the middle of no where. It was the only form of entertainment I had on rainy days and I have fond memories of it.
The main theme from this is another one of those ear worm songs that stays with me for months at a time once I remember it exists. The arrangement of it here is quite well done. It retains the energy and fun of the original gameboy soundtrack but gives it some nice uncompressed synths to flesh out the sound.
The rest can be said about the remainder of the soundtrack as well. It sounds like the original songs, however they all sound so much more fuller and rich than the gameboy chip could ever make them.
As a nice bonus there is a medley of the original soundtrack as the last track on the record. A nice touch for a cute little soundtrack such as this.
