The colossal 98-minute album showcases the talents of legendary composers known for their iconic work on series like Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy, among others. The album is a rich tapestry of new, game-inspired compositions from these celebrated artists, paired with innovative remixes from their classic catalogue as reimagined by their contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA highlight of the album is its emphasis on collaboration, exemplified by original tracks like Ultramarine—the first collaborative effort from Mega Man 2's Takashi Tateishi with Mega Man 3's Harumi Fujita and Sonic Mania's Tee Lopes. Another standout track, Ronin, marks a historic reunion for the Ninja Gaiden composer trio—Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Nitta, and Kaori Nakabai—collaborating for the first time since their work on the NES Ninja Gaiden titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collaborative spirit extends to the remixes as well, such as Final Fantasy series composer Yoshitaka Suzuki's cinematic reimagining of Mega Man 2’s Wily Stage, featuring Bayonetta co-composer Takahiro Izutani on acoustic guitars and producing, as well as Celeste composer Lena Raine's tranquil rendition of Panzer Dragoon Saga’s Art Thou the Holy One, crafted in harmony with original composer Saori Kobayashi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGIANTS transcends traditional boundaries, featuring a diverse array of genres and styles brought to life by over two dozen talented musicians, making it a celebratory anthology of game music's rich history and evolution, led by Brave Wave’s in-house rock band Super Strikers and a legion of legendary game composers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSELECTED GIANTS ARTISTS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuper Strikers: Brave Wave’s in-house band, composed of several renowned video game artists such as Stemage (of Metroid Metal) and Dino Lionetti (from Cheap Dinosaurs).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManami Matsumae: Composer of Mega Man 1, Mega Man 10, Shovel Knight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAkari Kaida: Composer of Mega Man Battle Network, Breath of Fire 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTakashi Tateishi: Composer of Mega Man 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHarumi Fujita: Composer of Mega Man 3, Pulstar, Strider, Final Fight, Gargoyle’s Quest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBUNBUN: Composer of Mega Man 3, Final Fight, Mega Man 10, Breath of Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee Lopes: Composer of Sonic Mania, Sonic All Star Racing, Streets of Rage 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTakahiro Izutani: Composed for Bayonetta series, Metal Gear Solid 4, Ninja Blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYoshitaka Suzuki: Composed for Final Fantasy 15, FF16, FF7 Remake,\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeiji Yamagishi: Composer of Ninja Gaiden (NES), Tecmo Bowl, Captain Tsubasa 1 \u0026amp; 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRyuichi Nitta: Composer of Ninja Gaiden 2 (NES)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKaori Nakabai: Composer of Ninja Gaiden 3 (NES), Captain Tsubasa 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSaori Kobayashi: Composer of Panzer Dragoon Saga\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLena Raine: Composer of Celeste, Chicory, Moonglow Bay, Harmony\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMasashi Kageyama: Composer of Gimmick!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n \n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA video game album like no other - 6 years in the making\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e22 phenomenal tracks by 26 legendary musicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeaturing Manami Matsumae, Akari Kaida, Takashi Tateishi, Lena Raine, Tee Lopes, Harumi Fujita, Keiji Yamagishi, Ryuichi Nitta, Kaori Nakabai and more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in Two Formats: Pressed on heavy-weight 3xLP 180g curaçao vinyl and 2CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArtwork by Matt Cummings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduced by Brave Wave Productions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCo-released, manufactured and distributed by Black Screen Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n BSR128 -Artist-Various Artists\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Box Set Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42087400374353,"sku":"VJQ224-FH6H-DN","price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/various-artists-giants_Oq3Hz.jpg?v=1759483911","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/various-artists-giants-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
