notes: 'The idea of this album was to create a true recreation of one of the best
  video game soundtracks in history. These covers are not heavily arranged; the original
  NES games (for the most part) utilized only 4 channels: two leads, a bass and a
  noise track used for drums. In the same spirit, these songs consist only of two
  lead guitars, a bass and drums and very few liberties were taken with the music
  (except the drums*)--the songs were even recorded in their original tempos (sometimes
  set to the thousandth of a beat per minute) so that they could seamlessly be played
  over the game.

  *First and foremost, I am a metal drummer and when this whole idea started the first
  step was to record drums. As the capability of writing drums for NES games was fairly
  limited, I figured it might sound a little empty having real drums play such limited
  parts, so I jazzed them up a bit.
