My friends over at OverClocked Remix have launched their latest project, Super Dodge Ball: Around the World.
Around the World is the 28th album published by the game music community. It arranges music from Super Dodge Ball, released in 1987 for the NES. It features 19 tracks from 25 artists from the community. You can pull down the music and track notes here, and you'll find some great project art here. I'm a big fan of the Dodge Boobs work.
They say that this album was made to honor the vast cultural roots and diversity of the game's music, originally composed by Kazuo Sawa.
This reminds me of a similar project created by my friends and I, called No Balls, No Glory.

It's kinda funny (and maybe a little sad) that this project began 2 years before No Balls, No Glory. But it's here now and I think both albums can co-exist on a level of badassitude never before seen.
Thanks Dale, I still think spacecat is one of the best songs ever. Also, if u know mazedude tell him he needs to make an Indie game ost. That guy was the shit. Protricity was a dick. Good music tho.

Is it worth picking up?
This all looks amazing btw, and has done its job by reminding me of a game I may get :D
Just sayin'
I'll give this a good listen though! Awesome game from my childhood. One of the games I would play before catching the bus to school.
Awesome work then.
