GIANTS is an ambitious video game concept album, meticulously crafted over six years by Tokyo-based record label Brave Wave Productions under the direction of Mohammed Taher. The colossal 98-minute album showcases the talents of legendary composers known for their iconic work on series like Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy, among others. The album is a rich tapestry of new, game-inspired compositions from these celebrated artists, paired with innovative remixes from their classic catalogue as reimagined by their contemporaries.

cool textures… my dad is a professional banjo player (!) and i think the banjo is such an underutilized instrument. love it
musical analysis, don't read if you don't want that
re: him changing the melody (at the end of the first phrase where it jumps down an octave) from a minor 2nd to a major 2nd interval, that interval seems pretty important thematically and is also echoing the phrase from an octave up. it is kind of interesting from a voice leading perspective (discontinuous chromatic descent), but it loses some harmonic spikiness. i thought maybe he was doing a version i’m not familiar with, but afaict he seems to be doing it in the arcade key and tempo (including the semitone down key change from intro>stage 1), but is changing the D naturals at the end of the melody to D flats.
i’m sure this all sounds like nitpicking (though i don’t care, i find it fascinating and it sparks my curiosity), but i do wonder if this was intentional or not. it’s a pretty iconic melody, and the arrangement seems intended to be faithful.
also what is going on on the turnaround at the end of the first ascending section, i’m not entirely sure if those are the right notes!

Thank you for saying it nicely because I probably would have said it mean…
