Track 02 from my latest album, "VGM Essentials: Ben Briggs"! When I was a kid, I saved up my allowance for months to buy my own Super Nintendo, and it came bundled with a copy of Killer Instinct, as well as a CD copy of the game's soundtrack "Killer Kuts". I spent so many hours blasting this music in my childhood and this remix is very near and dear to my heart because of it. Mega Flare and I worked really hard (and had a LOT of fun) aiming for every possible pressure point of nostalgia in the sound design and overall vibe of the song... it honestly just OOZES 90's nostalgia at every turn! Hope y'all love it. Quote from the album description:

"If there’s anything I want people to take away from this album, it’s the feeling that these games from our past life are not only real, but immortal and endlessly magical. I wanted to capture the feeling of playing these retro games for the first time; when our imagination filled in all the blanks between pixels and polygons, and picking up a controller was our ticket to new worlds and the feeling of being surrounded by magic and wonder. A perfectly tailor-made upgrade to your fondest memories."
