Awesome. There's a guy who goes by the name Reuben Kee and he did some absolutely fabulous video game music remixes in his time. In relation to your post, Hamza, there are a few street fighter mixes and they're brilliantly conceived.

Sadly, Reuben passed away this very day one year ago. It's such a shame as he was so young and still had so many amazing contributions to make to the world. He's the kind of person who would have accomplished so many great things if given more time.

Anyone who reads this post simply must check out Reuben's music. I first heard a composition of his in 2006 and since then I've always kept a few of them on my ipod. "Setting Sail On Dreams" is one of my favourites.

Really, he's great.

Sounds good Charles, but downloading his songs asks for a username and password. Can't get anything.

I'm so disappointed, I thought that was going to be a video of a rendition of Sonic Boom, classically performed.

Yeah, don't know what's up with that of late. Here's one of his Street Fighter arrangements:

He has a number of pieces up on youtube (not to mention a massive number of tributes to his memory). This is an arrangement he put together based on Shenmue and here is one for for FFVII:AC. He also has a few compositions up on OCremix.org

Apart from that, limewire is the way to go. Enjoy!

On a side note, I love the video game music arrangement community. It produces some amazing stuff. The Street Figher Pianist, Video Game Pianist, Reuben Kee -- these guys represent another great gamer subculture.

I'm not really feeling that piano rendition (Dani Palacios)as a lot of the notes are wrong and I don't think that the emphasis is right. It's like someone trying to get as close as possible without being sued. Good performance though.

He DOES fudge some notes, and he seems to slightly lose his tempo sometimes. But it's awesome, so who cares!
