Exclusive: Metal Gear Composer Covers Final Fantasy VI Track On New Album
Last week, we detailed a new album called Prescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies Volume II, which features relaxing arrangements by Metal Gear and Bayonetta composer Norihiko Hibino. Now, we're exclusively revealing one of the tracks on the album.
The album has arrangements from Skyrim, Shovel Knight, Final Fantasy, and more, but Scarlet Moon Records has been slowly trickling out the track listing. Today, we're revealing that Final Fantasy VI's "Kids Run Through The City Corner" will be one of the songs covered on the album. Better yet, we also have a sample of it, so you can get a taste of what's in store.
So far the following tracks have been revealed:
- Troian Beauty – Final Fantasy IV
- The Streets of Whiterun – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- The One Who Is Torn Apart – Xenogears
- Courage Under Fire –Shovel Knight
- The Moon – DuckTales
- Scattering Blossoms – Chrono Trigger
- Snake Eater – Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
You can listen to part of the "Kids Run Through The City Corner" arrangement below.
