In today\u2019s age of the remix<\/a>, some artists are putting their own touches and takes on some familiar classic works. No, not Shakespeare, but rather the classics of our generation: video games.<\/p>\n

There are a ton of covers out there for video game music and plenty of awesome sites like OC Remix<\/a> to find them. But few actually expand on those pieces and make them into something bigger and better.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve recently come across two albums that have struck my fancy.<\/p>\n

The first album that I can\u2019t stop listening to is History Repeating: Blue<\/em> from The Megas<\/a>, a Mega Man cover band. This album is based on the music from Mega Man 3. Each track is from the perspective of either Mega Man or one of the Robot Masters. The Megas take each track and take elements of each stage song, and work it into something more lyrical and dynamic, and it works better than any other Mega Man cover I\u2019ve heard. The first two tracks are especially awesome as part one leads into the title theme for part two. If you like Mega Man, you can\u2019t miss this album.<\/p>\n
