We got another one! Our friends at Game Junction brought this to our attention (thanks again), and it’s definitely worth a listen. The musician known as Something is Real is responsible for the incredible rendition of Nirvana’s breakthrough album Nevermind using only sounds from Super Mario 64 that we recently shared. Naturally they’ve moved onto the band’s followup (and sadly their final) album In Utero. Despite being an intensely raw recording – even more than its predecessor due to the hands-off approach of producer Steve Albini – the comforting SoundFonts from Nintendo’s groundbreaking 3D platformer somehow work beautifully. The album has its familiar hits such as “Heart Shaped Box” and “All Apologies”, but both the original and this new quirky take are highly enjoyable from beginning to end.

A North Texas native, I was born in '80s and grew up '90s playing a hefty amount of NES, Sega Genesis, and SNES. Some early favorites include Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Road Rash II, and Super Mario World. As the 3D revolution took hold in the late 1990s, my interest in video games waned while my interest in music grew. Then around 2007, I started recollecting some old favorites which led to discovering classics I missed out on. The casual hobby snowballed into a full-blown obsession, and it became my mission to make up for years of lost gaming.
