EarthBound turns 25 years old this summer. Overlooked on its initial release in 1995, the quirky RPG soon gained a following that increased exponentially year after year. It now boasts fans in the millions and may be THE most popular “cult classic” game of all time. We’re still waiting for the needle to move on Mother 3, however. We may never get an official release for Mother 3 but we CAN have this swell tribute album to all things EarthBound, “Fuzzy Pickles.” Created by the GameLark music label, it includes nine unique arrangements of the most well-known tracks in the series, covered in a variety of genres (the Twoson theme is rendered in jazz, while the Fourside theme is done in a metal style). 01. Bein’ Friends (Mother) 02. Twoson (EarthBound) 03. Gentle Rain (Mother 3) 04. Mother Earth (Mother) 05. Pollyanna (Mother) 06. Fate (Mother 3) 07. You Call This a Utopia? (Mother 3) 08. Fourside (EarthBound) 09. Eight Melodies (Mother) “Working through these games is a fantastic opportunity

The musical scores for Chrono Trigger and its pseudo-sequel Chrono Cross happen to be the greatest video game soundtracks of all time. If you doubt it or you’ve somehow never heard them, they’re always on YouTube so you can play and judge for yourself. But there’s little room for debate in my book. They sound…..so…..good. Videogame music label GameLark is publishing a remix of these tracks titled At The End of Time. The album rearranges the classic tunes into a variety of styles, like surf rock, dance music, prog metal, orchestral and more. “Our goal was simple,” explains album producer Allen Brasch. “We wanted to offer listeners a unique, memorable journey whether they’ve experienced these games or not. The album art also hints that no matter who you are, you are going to be pulled into this adventure, and you might not be the same when it ends.” 01. Corridors of Time (Chrono Trigger) 02. Wind Scene (Chrono Trigger) 03. Guardia Millenial Fair (Chrono Trigger) 04. Home Termina (Chrono Cross)
