Tokyo's Coolest Sound

Keiichi Suzuki (Moonriders, No Lie-Sense, Controversial Spark), who was recently celebrating the 50th anniversary of his musical career, has just released an album that revisits songs from the soundtrack of Famicom game "MOTHER" (aka "EarthBound Beginnings") that he composed. All of the songs were newly recorded and rearranged, and he did all of the singing. Featured musicians include Gondō Tomohiko, Ueno Yōko, Hasunuma Shūta and U-zhaan.

A deluxe edition comes with a bonus CD of all original Famicom versions from the 1989 game. There's also a 2LP edition of the songs from the new album.

The "MOTHER" original soundtrack was released on vinyl in 2019, and seems to still be available at CDJapan.
