Again in 2021, the legendary composer behind the likes of Metroid, Mom and Tetris, Hirokazu “Hip” Tanaka, launched the aptly-named ‘Lost Tapes‘ album, offering a never-before-heard pattern of his demo tapes from the ’80s and ’90s.
Report label Tremendous Fuji Discs has introduced {that a} recent batch of those demo tracks is on the best way within the much more aptly-named ‘Extra Misplaced Tapes‘, which has an anticipated launch date of this August (thanks, The Ongaku).
The brand new compilation picks out 50 tracks from the composer’s unreleased demo recordings (1981-2010) and packs them right into a two-disk CD launch. This contains instrumental demos and outtakes for most of the collection to which Tanaka-san lent his musical wizardry in addition to pre-release tracks for the Pokémon anime.
The album trailer (above) offers a reasonably good concept of what to anticipate from this one and you’ll find the total monitor listing beneath.
