Mega Ran’s FFVII tribute album gets redone like CRAZY
Random AKA Mega Ran knocked it out of the park withBlack Materia, a love letter to his favoriteFinal Fantasyever. He followed it up a year later withBlack Materia: The Remixes, which inserts new beats into old tracks, expands others, and even adds all new ones. Both are some of the finest work he’s ever done, not to mention among the bestFinal Fantasymusical tributes around.
Proving again that third time’s a charm — not that the first two weren’t already spectacular — Ran has releasedWhite Materia. Another remix album? How did he plan on keeping that old shizz fresh? By recruiting mashup artistDJ Nerd42to spliceBlack Materialyrics with songs from Eminem, Guns N’ Roses, Daft Punk, Will Smith, and many others.
Ran’s Yuffie rap “Ninja Girl” gets crossed over with “Gold Digger.” No, not the Kanye West original. It’s Weird Al’s polka cover! That’s flippin’ AMAZING! And guest rapperAdam WarRock‘s “Cait Sith” is now backed by the theme song fromSesame Street! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?
Best of all, unlike Ran’s past twoFFVIIalbums, this one is all free. You kinda need to listen to this stuff. It’s pretty incredible.
