Do you like Vince DiCola?
I’m assuming you answered correctly and said “yes”, because otherwise what are you doing here you silly person?
Well, you’re about to be beholden to a blast from our childhoods, because Mr. DiCola along with his writing partner Kenny Mariedeth have released the original soundtrack for Saturday Morning RPG by Mighty Rabbit Studios! What better way to become fully-engrossed in a video game RPG based off ’80s cartoons than with one of the legends of ’80’s music!
San Diego, California – January 28, 2014Scarlet Moon Records is pleased to announce the release of the Saturday Morning RPG Original Soundtrack, featuring the work of legendary musician Vince DiCola — known for his work on Transformers: The Movie and Rocky IV — and his writing partner, Kenny Meriedeth. Additional talent is featured, including Jake “virt” Kaufman, Grant “stemage” Henry, and Dmitry “C – jeff” Zhemkov, who provide their own unique arrangements from the soundtrack.
Those familiar with Vince DiCola’s work will feel right at home among the heavy synth – infused progressive rock soundscapes that DiCola and Meriedeth have crafted. As Saturday Morning RPG pays tribute to classic ’80s cartoons, the main theme is appropriately upbeat and catchy, while the various battle themes should prove to be favorites among fans.“I’ve been a fan of Vince DiCola since my childhood,” notes Scarlet Moon Records producer Jayson Napolitano. “When I heard he was finally immersing himself in my other passion, videogames, I had to do everything I could to make sure as manypeople as possible would hear what he and Kenny Meriedeth have accomplished.”
The Saturday Morning RPG Original Soundtrack is now available from iTunes, Amazon MP3, Loudr, and Bandcamp (where a limited-print physical edition is available). For whatever reason if you’re still on the fence about the quality of the album, why not join Noise Channel this coming Thursday for an exclusive on-air appearance by Vince DiCola himself, along with Mariedeth, Kaufman and Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano! It’s sure to be a little slice of fanfare for all of us ’80s kids!
Interesting. I don’t know if it’s $10/18 interesting, but it is interesting all the same.
Also, that cover is a little on the cloying side. Granted I’ve not played the game so maybe it’s more crucial to it than I’m aware.
