Bothersome Guys (Mother 3 Remastered)

Описание: Mother 3 is a game I hold very near and dear to my heart. It's one of my favorite JRPGs and every element, from the art direction, the gameplay and the story, is wonderfully crafted and thoughtfully designed. Chief among these is the soundtrack, composed by Shogo Sakai. It blends rock 'n' roll, symphonic, latin, jazz and a myriad of other genres to create a lengthy and memorable soundscape to compliment the story, visuals and gameplay.

For the longest time, I've thought about how it would sound if the soundtrack were to appear on a modern remake/remaster of the game. Of course, there are albums like Mother 3+ and Mother 3i that give us amazing arrangements and remixes of the tracks, and a myriad of other projects looking to do the same. But I wanted to take a shot at it. With my sample libraries, mixing tools and well as my skills in arrangements and remixes, I have attempted such an endeavor. To lighten my load, I decided that not all the tracks will be Remastered, just the standouts from various sections and chapters of the game. This is my way of paying tribute to Shogo Sakai's wonderful soundtrack and compositions, and to Shigesato Itoi, HAL Laboratories and Brownie Brown for developing such a treasure of a game. I hope you enjoy.

"Bothersome Guys" and the Mother 3 Soundtrack is composed by Shogo Sakai.

Note: This song was a bit of a hassle to arrange because of how crazy it is. The FX at the beginning and the chopped and pitched vocals layered with the percussion loops being quite intimidating at first. But once I actually got around to arranging it and looking at the original files to see how Shogo achieved these sounds, it got a lot less scary and much more fun to recreate. I injected some 90's vibes because it always struck me as a sort of 90's DJ/Producer showcase. This song is a great showcase of Shogo's ability to keep that zany, Earthbound energy in his battle themes. Honestly a great battle theme to have shown first.
