Follow-up to the amazing composer collab World 1-2

World 1-2was pretty amazing. If you didn’t snatch it up when it was first released, do realize that you have been missing out on a masterful collaboration of professional game composers and enthusiast arrangers, with contributions from the likes ofSilent Hill‘s Akira Yamaoka,Armcannon‘s Danimal Cannon, and many others.

Koopa Soundworkshas now releasedWorld 1-2: Encore, a 14-track companion that gives you more of what you love. You’ve got the post-rockZelda‘sCory Johnsononce again, “Mega Man 11” project composerXavier “mv” Dang,The OneUps,Video Game Orchestra… the list keeps stacking up! While the original album offered a selection of both original tunes and game arrangements,Encoreis straight up arrange central. The exception is Manami Matsumae’s contribution — a reprise of herWorld 1-2original piece “One Shot, One Kill,” which has been seemingly given a dash ofMighty No. 9flavor!
