Well, you end up with something a little like the track that you can hear above, exclusively revealed to us today by Scarlet Moon Records.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Kraid&#8217; is one of the 12 tracks that make up Prescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies Volume III, a brand new album from Norihiko Hibino (composer on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gbc\/metal_gear_solid\">Metal Gear Solid<\/a> series) and AYAKI (performer for both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/ds\/etrian_odyssey\">Etrian Odyssey<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds\/persona_q_shadow_of_the_labyrinth\">Persona Q<\/a> soundtracks).<\/p>\n<p>Each track is an improvised jazz rendition of a different piece of video game music, with musical moments taken from the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/legend_of_zelda_ocarina_of_time\">Ocarina of Time<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/snes\/mega_man_x\">Mega Man X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/diablo_ii_resurrected\">Diablo<\/a> and Metroid amongst others. Many of these themes and motifs might not immediately strike you as relaxing tunes, but the Gentle Love renditions take even the most intense melodies and give them a new, chilled flavour.<\/p>\n<p>For an idea of what else that album has in store, here&#8217;s the full tracklist from Scarlet Moon Records:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>01. \u201cWindmill Hut\u201d \u2013 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<br \/>02. \u201cTheme of Prontera\u201d \u2013 Ragnarok Online<br \/>03. \u201cBoomer Kuwanger\u201d \u2013 Mega Man X<br \/>04. \u201cTristram\u201d \u2013 Diablo<br \/>05. \u201cThis Dream\u201d \u2013 NieR<br \/>06. \u201cEruyt Village\u201d \u2013 Final Fantasy XII<br \/>07. \u201cYeul\u2019s Theme\u201d \u2013 Final Fantasy XIII-2<br \/>08. \u201cTraveling in the Town of Hagure\u201d \u2013 The Legend of the Mystical Ninja<br \/>09. \u201cKraid\u201d \u2013 Metroid<br \/>10. \u201cRosenkranz\u201d \u2013 SaGa Frontier II<br \/>11. \u201cTrading Town of Redmont\u201d \u2013 Ys III: Wanderers from Ys<br \/>12. \u201cDaybreak\u201d \u2013 Original Composition<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>The third album in the duo&#8217;s Game Music Lullabies series releases on <strong>19th May<\/strong> and can be pre-ordered on a variety of music platforms from the <a href=\"https:\/\/scarletmoon.to\/p4s3\/\">official Scarlet Moon site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you make of the mellow Metroid melodies?
