Fighting game competition EVO is going on this weekend, and as such the game music label Materia Collective [2] has partnered up with game community GameLark [3] to create and release a double album full of fighting game music arrangements to celebrate the event.
VERSUS brings Materia Collective and GameLark together to create a unique double-album of fighting game remixes. The album itself is also a friendly competition between the two groups, who have previously worked individually on a wide range of remix albums of video game covers. VERSUS includes music from Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, and many more.
“VERSUS was a perfect opportunity to show the collaborative nature of the VGM community,” says Allen Brasch, founder and head of GameLark. “We see countless collaborations between individual artists so I thought, why not collaborate between labels?”
The album spans two discs with 47 tracks full of arranged music from almost every big fighting game you can think of. I personally like that “Holy Orders” from Guilty Gear XX was snuck in, reminding me how much I have to get back into that game.
You can check out the album on the Materia Collective website [4], or pick it up streaming on Spotify or the digital album on iTunes and Loudr.
