Video Games Live Releasing First CD

n case those packed auditoriums around the world weren’t enough proof to convince you that gaming music is being taken seriously, Video Games Live and EMI Classics have announced that a CD compilation of well-know songs will be coming out soon. Video Games Live: Volume One will be available for download and as a CD starting July 24 in North America. It includes 11 tracks, and it was recorded in Abbey Road Studios in London.

“If Beethoven were alive today, he would probably be a video-game composer... he was always ahead of the curve,” says co-creator of the touring musical performance Tommy Tallarico. “One of his goals in creating music was to control the emotions of the person listening to it. This is exactly what we as game composers are constantly trying to accomplish.”


Here’s the complete track list:

1.    Kingdom Hearts
2.    Warcraft Suite
3.    Myst Medley
4.    Medal of Honor (LIVE)   
5.    Civilization IV Medley
6.    Tetris Piano Opus No. 1
7.    God of War Montage (LIVE)
8.    Advent Rising Suite
9.    Tron Montage
10.    Halo Suite
11    Castlevania Rock (LIVE)
