Nobou Uematsu's record label, Dog Ear Records, is primed and ready to release its next collection of NES themes. Pia-Com II provides us with piano arrangements for music from Commando, Final Fantasy III, Castlevania, Spelunker, Milon's Secret Castle, Goemon, Wizardry, Fantasy Zone, amongst others. The disc will have ten tracks in total, and is set to release on Sept. 22nd. That's three more than Pia-Com I.
Nice.
Pia-Com I has music from Mother though. That's pretty tough to beat. Regardless of which collection is better, the concept behind these CDs is fantastic. I know that game music adapted for piano is not some crazy new idea, but it still doesn't happen enough, and rarely is it done this well. Blips and bloops my ass.
