Kingdom Hearts has some great music, and Curaga Records has made it their latest project with The Oceans Between, a new cover album that re-renders ten of the most popular tracks in the series, including the iconic “Simple and Clean” from the original game and “cavern Of Remembrance” from Kingdom Hearts II.

We only used analog synths, the Prophet 5 and Novation Peak, to really capture that warm feeling. Each track has live piano, guitar, and percussion. I wanted these tracks to feel like you’re having a genuine conversation with
