Yoga Fire! - No Kicks (Street Fighter 2 - Balrog Theme Cover)
From my self-produced solo album Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior: A Tribute Album - YouTube playlist @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meTUJJsOmRc&list=PLo3JMNJOvk0dBu8K5skrrO5ckjJxevP88 Free download at http://yogafirewa.bandcamp.com My other music can be found at http://jlvaudio.com --- I had this thought while in Bhutan in November 2012: "An album covering all the Street Fighter 2 songs would be really fun to make." It was. This game is very near to my heart. I played it all the time as a kid even though I was never very good at it. The characters, stages, and songs always captured my imagination. I spent a while obsessively revisiting the game and eventually sat down and very carefully tabbed out the entire soundtrack (big shout out to TabIt). While I tried to keep the melodic content as dead on to the game as I could, drastic artistic liberties were taken regarding tempo and percussion. I realized while transcribing that these songs take on an entirely different character when slowed down. I really liked the grooviness and new mood of the slower tempos and decided to roll with it. --- released 13 March 2013 All original arrangements by Jon Lervold All instruments performed live by Jon Lervold Tracked, mixed, and mastered at Big Name Studio in Olympia, WA by Jon Lervold Original compositions by Yoko Shimomura and Isao Abe
