This is the Japanese import CD of the original soundtrack to Mother 1 + 2, collecting the music from Shigesato Itoi's beloved RPGs Mother (1989) and Mother 2, known in the West as Earthbound (1994). Composed by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka, the score is famous for its quirky, heartfelt melodies and adventurous pop-and-experimental production, drawing on everything from the Beatles to musique concrete. From Pollyanna and the unforgettable Eight Melodies to Smiles and Tears, these are some of the most cherished themes in video game history. Released by Toshiba EMI, this is an essential import for Earthbound and VGM fans.
