Video Game Music is a collaborative album between Japanese artist Haruomi Hosono and various Video Game composers working for Namco studio (under the name Namco Sound Team).It was released in 1984 during a time where Namco was already a well-established video game company while Hosono was out of Yellow Magic Orchestra (a band whose first album featured video game music). The basis of the album is that each track showcases audio footage of a Namco video game. After a sample of it is played, Hosono would rearrange the game's soundtrack by using the game's sound effects. Namco's most famous games such as Pac-Man and Galaga are featured on the album as well as more obscure ones like Libble Rabble.It could technically count as a soundtrack album and even as one of the first of the video game kind, not to mention the fact that Hosono pioneers the Chiptune genre long before it would emerge as a music genre related to retro gaming. When Jools Holland presented a Japan-special episode of BBC's The Tube which featured YMO, he presented the album as well as Hosono performing a track on the spot.Not to be confused with the main page for Game Music.Tracklist:Side One "Xevious" (6:15) "Bosconian" (0:14) "Pac-Man" (2:53) "Phozon" (2:09) "Mappy" (3:32)Side Two "Libble Rabble" (3:30) "Pole Position" (2:42) "New Rally-X" (3:09) "Dig Dug" (1:28) "Galaga" (4:20)Video Game tropes:
