Johto Legends (Music from "Pok​é​mon Gold and Silver")

by Braxton Burks

gitaa-gakudan A wondrous tribute to the game,
A colorful journey to the past.

Deeply moved when the breathtaking woodwinds are sheer embodiment of nostalgia (New Bark Town, Surf Theme, ...), while excited when the orchestral tutti depicts a cinematic scenery (especially the Final Showdown).

Meso Potato Better than Heart Gold/Soul Silver, and just aaaalmost as good as the original, but even at 2nd place it's still a most excellent album. It hits all the right nostalgic notes (pun not intended) while breathing fun and imaginative orchestrated life into the music. Favorite track: Battle! Pokémon Trainer (Johto Version).

Joel Hands-Otte What a feast of beautiful sounds and nostalgia! Absolutely gorgeous orchestration and intertwining melodies. Really loved the traditional Japanese vibe that was present throughout the album. Really love your work, Braxton! Looking forward to more amazing projects of yours! Favorite track: Sprout Tower.

about

Johto Legends is a one-hour orchestral arrangement album featuring the timeless music of Pokémon Gold and Silver!

It explores the story of a young Pokémon Trainer's epic journey across the scenic Johto region where they'll grow in strength alongside their Pokémon friends as they take on the Johto League, go head-to-head with the nefarious Team Rocket, and encounter the legendary guardians of Johto — all told through a stunning musical narrative.

Johto Legends: Music from Pokémon Gold and Silver is a sweeping orchestral re-imagining of the classic handheld soundtracks by arranger Braxton Burks. Funded on Kickstarter with nearly 1,000 backers, Johto Legends fulfills its campaign promises and more, giving Pokémon fans over an hour of new music on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. The album features breathtaking performances by some of the game industry's greatest talent with credits that include Pokémon Symphonic Evolutions and The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, as well as games like Destiny, Dragon Age, Tomb Raider, and Minecraft.

"Johto Legends is a passion project I've wanted to fulfill since I was eleven years old. Almost every day after school, I'd get on the bus home and turn on my Game Boy Color, loaded with a copy of Pokémon Crystal Version. I spent countless hours headbutting trees in the Ilex Forest, exploring the remains of the Burned Tower, and tracking down the legendaries Entei, Raikou, and Suicune... but it was the game's soundtrack that really pulled me in with its memorable 8-bit melodies, an eclectic mix of romantic harmonies and Japanese folk music - the perfect backdrop for the Johto region. Sometimes I'd even imagine what the music would sound like if it were orchestrated by one of my idols, John Williams. 'I wish I could do that,' I thought. Well, I ended up carrying that dream to adulthood, fueled by my ongoing love affair with the Pokémon games that persists even to this day. I hope listeners will be able to recall their own nostalgic Pokémon journey - the battles, the towns, the routes and caves... and all the adventures in between." - Braxton Burks
