Great Orchestra Verson of our Favorite Games,
The person below me who gave this CD one-star is a blockhead. He didn’t even rate the music itself, he just complained about a marketing strategy he disliked (and was wrong about to begin with), and I’m upset that now the rating on the CD will forever have a one on it, lowering its average.
Anyway.
The music on the CD is great, Play! has really gone above and beyond. I actually have only played 5 of the video games that Play! has made a song about on this CD, and let me tell you, they made the songs better. Not that anything was wrong with them to begin with, but hearing what was already a great song list backed up by the thunder and power of a full orchestra is so amazing. Hearing the Sonic the Hedgehog soundtrack brought back a flood of memories for me; they made songs for many of the levels in Sonic the Hedgehog 1, and even the boss fights.
That was just one example, the other songs are awesome as well. Kingdom Hearts Live blew me away. I adored the game’s soundtrack already, but a new layer of beauty was created when Play! took a spin at it. For the Video Game Music fans out there, and fans of orchestras, I can’t recommend buying this CD enough. Support the people who took the time to turn something from great to spectacular.

|Play symphony, solid experience done right,
I have steadily followed the PLAY symphony as it has trekked the globe, and they performances never fail to disappoint. A great mix of tunes from a variety of today’s games, if you have any affinity for the music of video games then this is a must-buy, must-see offering.

|Great Way to Introduce Orchestral Vocal Music to Teens,
Finally video game theme music is being seriously considered as worthy of Great Halls and song. To quote Peregrin Took (Pippin) in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, when asked by Lord Denethor if he could sing, his reply was “Yes,” said Pippin. “Well, yes, well enough for my own people. But we have no songs fit for great halls and evil times, lord…” After that, Denethor ordered him to sing him a song, to ease his troubled mind. “A Walking Song” made its White Tower debut. This music may not be Handel or Chopin, but it stirs in us emotional sympathetic vibes nonetheless. The back stories and haunting melodies behind today’s video games are complex, diverse and deeply moving. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (track 11) is my favorite. Check out the recently released video game homage by London Symphony Orchestra as well. Wonderfully performed.
