Then you have to check out this 8-bit version of “So What,” the opening track of Davis’s seminal recording, _Kind of Blue_.
[Kind of Bloop](http://youtu.be/hSCObIXDCJc).
I’m envisioning a video game that has this as its background music. Probably like [Root Beer Tapper](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_Beer_Tapper), only set in a jazz club where you have to pull espresso shots for all the beatniks.

The arrangement of [Blue in Green](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcm_vn8xP2I) sounds a lot more like NES-era video game music to me. I can picture it in a noirish game, or something recounting the end of the world.

This is actually pretty well done. Reminds me of the Moog Cookbook, a bit. Thanks for sharing.

No problem, guys - I love stuff like this. I remember going to see _Scott Pilgrim vs. the World_ and being completely delighted by the 8-bit version of the Universal Pictures logo and theme.
