notes: '"The Runaway Four, Vancouver’s video game medley monsters, release their independent
  studio debut “Chaos Theatre” on January 20, 2017. This 45 minute sonic adventure
  contains 37 choice tunes from 31 video game titles, mixing popular favourites and
  hidden gems into 5 themed tracks. Medleys from past performances were selected to
  build a dynamic narrative through the course of the album, intended to give the
  listener an adventure for the ears.

  The opening track, “This Game is Baroquen”, uses themes that highlight pre-classical
  musical devices of polyphony and counterpoint, and starts the journey on a light
  foot. Ice levels don''t often come second, but “Boreal Bedlam”, the second track,
  keeps the fun going with melody-rich ice themes from the snowy woods of Earthbound
  to the cool, cool mountain of Super Mario 64. Track 3, “Magma Mayhem”, leans back
  on the rhythm section and heats things up with themes of fire, lava and the infernal,
  preparing listeners for the 17-minute epic to follow that is “Battle Royale”. The
  fourth track begins solemn and foreboding, but soon dives into heavy battle themes
  from Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Pokémon and Donkey Kong franchises and ending
  with a triumphant fanfare. The closing title, “Your Sanctuary”, is an arrangement
  of themes from Earthbound exclusively. “Your Sanctuary” is the warm hug at the end
  of the journey, with a soft chord from the keys enveloping an endearing melody alongside
  contemplative bass harmonies and drum beats."
