notes: 'Nostalgia Canon is a collection of nine[bit] video game music arrangements,
  spotlighting five brand new, never-before-heard tracks alongside a handful of competition
  entires, fan requests, and otherwise previously unreleased remixes of such beloved
  series'' as The Legend of Zelda, Bomberman, Yoshi''s Island, Dark Cloud and more.

  This album is a labor of love for the composers, songs and sounds that inspired
  me to become a composer myself, and the nostalgic melodies that bond us as a VGM
  loving community and create an outlet for us to inspire creativity in one another
  and channel our beloved childhood memories into the purest form.

  Special thanks to:

  Dave, Larry and all of the OC ReMix staff & community for being my springboard,
  so to speak; without the rigorous but encouraging quality expectations of the panel
  and the endearing support and feedback from fellow listeners, fans and remixers,
  I would not be the halc that stands before you today.

  My wonderful wife Emily, who''s love and support for my passion is beyond description.

  My good friends Benjamin Briggs, Bryan Herkless and Will Harby, for always willing
  to lend an ear and just being cool dudes in general.

  And of course, to all of you fans, followers, et. cetera; for being so openly supportive
  and vocal over the last few years. This album is my gift to you.~
