Inti Creates announces “Chip Tuned Rockman” 8-bit themed album

chiptunedThe album project that Ippo Yamada mentioned on the Spiceman blog a short while back has been revealed, and it’s indeed Mega Man themed. Called “Chip Tuned Rockman,” the album will feature 20 tracks from a wide selection of classic Mega Man/Rockman titles that have been arranged with a chip tune flavor (i.e. 8-bit style). Amazingly, each of the 20 tracks has been arranged by an entirely different artist, hailing from around the world.
The album will come with a booklet that has interviews with 10 different artists who have worked on Mega Man music, and will have a special column about video game music and Mega Man music. It will also contain a color comic illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga.

Inti Creates plans to release the album on October 15th for ¥3,000 (roughly $33 US), but will sell copies in advance at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show next weekend. Be sure to check out the medley sample in the top bar of the page. (Or, check it out right here.)
