It's been awhile since I had visited the Sakuraba page over at CocoeBiz, but I'm glad I finally did...otherwise, I'd have missed THIS interesting bit of cool news!

A host of VGM composers have been making up tracks for ringtones for MelodyClip, and they must conform to the FM limits that most phones have.

Well, folks...they did BEAUTIFULLY.

Here's the list of the composers...some of which you might recognize

And here's the samples. Tasty, tasty!

And here's where it gets interesting...
According to CocoeBiz, if there's enough interest, Enterbrain will release a CD of these tracks. Well, it must have happened...because HERE IS THE PREORDER!!!

If you have a taste for the good-ol FM-music days, then I think those samples are gonna tantalize you. And then you're REALLY gonna want this. New music in a nostalgic sound palette...gotta love that!

I'm sold.  Thanks much for bringing this to my attention.

Whoa...Naruke looks completely nuts in that picture.

As far as FM music goes, it's actually pretty good quality. I like the Naruke sample quite a bit. It's interesting to hear her music outside of the Wild Arms series.

The Sakuraba sample wasn't labeled but there was a cadence in there that could only be by one man.

f---ing beautiful samples... PREORDERED

Yeah it's a killer lineup for sure.
I just noticed it yesterday at cocoebiz and said "woah!"
No brainer purchase 

Check out Yack. He da f*ckin man! Oooldschool.

Wow, sweet indeed!!

This album is available for download already *cough*vgmcentral*cough* even though it's not supposed to come out for another week.  I've listened to about half of it so far and I gotta say it's AWESOME!  Koshiro's, Sakuraba's, and Naruke's tracks are my faves so far but I'm still not done listening to the whole thing so that will probably change, heh.  Gonna be pre-ordering it from Coco tonight.. just gotta figure out what else I wanna add to the order.

Listened to the whole thing. Pretty cool stuff. Yu Miyake's track seriously pwnz.

I really like this. It's good to see (hear) some composers go back to limiting themselves the way they did in the old chip days, and still coming up with some awesome stuff

yeah it's a nice trend...
They could have done more like this for that Famicom 20th anniversary, having everyone make new tunes in famicom-style, but they just did upgrade arrangements...

Hearing the old chips is nice!
