Mentioning Kirby in another thread reminded me about shooting you guys a link to XOC's latest project:

This guy is quickly becoming my favorite game music cover artist. He always avoids the typical styles that so many other people make use of in their covers, and instead makes fantastic use of overlooked yet highly appropriate instruments for each game, or even makes his own. As with his Super Mario World album, I think the music represents Kirby at his core even more-so than the beeps and bloops originally did. There are only a few tracks which reach out a little too far into strange territory to fit this description.
If only these songs could be inserted into the game ROM.
And for good measure, here's my favorite singular Kirby cover. It's by Neskimos. I love the dark transformation the song goes through just after 3 minutes.

You know of any other albums like this one or brink of time? Been meaning to get some more interesting video game albums.
