There is something magical about videogame and television soundtracks. In todays world of cut-and-paste pop songs and auto-tune, it is a rare, refreshing treat to hear music that has soul. These two amazing artists really put their best into this music--and it shows! Every song on this album has such heart that the listener can feel the emotions that the original songs invoked--from the excitement of "Guiles Theme" and the cheerfulness of the "Chocobo Medley" to the tear-jerking solemnity of "An End, Once and For All". Each song is a fresh, powerful reminder of why we love videogames (and Pokémon!). Plus, what other album has songs from Mass Effect, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, all portrayed through the magical combination of piano & violin?
