Two Fedoras

So, I’ve been looking forward to this for a couple weeks now, ever since the teasers started coming out really. Fortunately, I have to wait no more and neither do you because IWADON, the Hiroyuki Iwatsuki tribute album, is now available for our listening pleasure.

IWADON is a tribute by Game Music 4 All to game composer Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, who has been writing music for Natsume videogames for 20 years.  The compilation includes arrangements in various styles from artists located all over the world, featuring liner notes in English and Japanese. Iwadon is the handle used by Iwatsuki on twitter, and it was how he was credited on the staff rolls of his early games.

The album can be streamed over at the official IWADON website. There is also a good deal of information about the songs and their individual artists made available as the music is playing. It all makes for a very nice presentation.
