GIANTSis an ambitious video game concept album, meticulously crafted over six years by Tokyo-based record labelBrave WaveProductions under the direction ofMohammed Taher. The colossal 98-minute album showcases the talents of legendary composers known for their iconic work on series likeMega 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.
A highlight of the album is its emphasis on collaboration, exemplified by original tracks like Ultramarine—the first collaborative effort from Mega Man 2’sTakashi TateishiwithMega Man 3’sHarumi FujitaandSonic Mania’sTee Lopes. Another standout track, Ronin, marks a historic reunion for theNinja Gaidencomposer trio—Keiji Yamagishi,Ryuichi Nitta, andKaori Nakabai—collaborating for the first time since their work on the NES Ninja Gaiden titles.
The collaborative spirit extends to the remixes as well, such as Final Fantasy series composerYoshitaka Suzuki’s cinematic reimagining ofMega Man 2’s Wily Stage, featuringBayonettaco-composerTakahiro Izutanion acoustic guitars and producing, as well asCelestecomposerLena Raine’s tranquil rendition ofPanzer Dragoon Saga’s Art Thou the Holy One, crafted in harmony with original composerSaori Kobayashi.
GIANTStranscends 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.
