BUCKNER & GARCIA SET TO RELEASE "MS. PAC-MAN FEVER" ALBUM WITH OZONE RECORDS

New Full-Length Gaming Album Coming Out Summer 2011


(PHILADELPHIA) -- Today, Ozone Entertainment and Buckner & Garcia announced "Ms. Pac-Man Fever", the duo's first gaming-themed album since the original "Pac-Man Fever" was released 30 years ago, will go on sale this summer through digital distribution on Apple's iTunes Service and the Rock Band Network.

"Ozone Entertainment makes amazing things happen," said Owen Douglass, owner of Ozone Entertainment. "Thirty years after the success of their Pac-Man album, we knew it was time to bring the group out of retirement for a new generation of gamers. With this alongside getting Ron Wasserman to produce new rock songs, we are proving the power of the Ozone brand and producing new and exciting music."

"This album is great!" exclaimed Jerry Buckner. "Sure, it's pretty much the same as our last album. But look, this time it has a pink bow! That makes it totally different."

All eight of the songs from the album will take advantage of the new features introduced into the series by Rock Band 3, including Pro Drums, Standard and Pro Keyboard, and Vocal Harmonies. Although being called "sets", the songs will only be available as single song downloads due to the Rock Band Network's limitations. The release date for both sets are still undetermined.

The album includes eight brand new songs about the hottest game franchises, each including sound effects taken straight from the games:

"Ms. Pac-Man Fever" (Ms. Pac-Man)
"Kratos' Lament" (God of War)
"Ode to a Companion Cube" (Portal)
"The Call of Duty" (Call of Duty)
"Hyperspace II" (Metroid)
"Do the Master Chief" (Halo)
"Jumpman" (Super Mario Bros.)
"Goin' Super Sonic" (Sonic the Hedgehog)

The "Ms. Pac-Man Fever" album will be distributed this summer exclusively by Ozone Records through iTunes and the Rock Band Network. It will be priced at $1.99 per track or $15.49 for the entire album.

I won't be fooled again. Not after what you did last year. :P

[MagicMurderBag7]

I hope this isn't some april fools joke because based on the name alone i want Ode to the Companion Cube

[LuigiHann]

Shame they weren't able to provide a preview clip or two, since that would be amazing. Album based on modern games is actually a fun idea.

You should try obtaining the Pokemon Theme by Jason Paige. I think in the distant future, by proving that all of the Buckner & Garcia can sell, that would be your master key.

IIRC he (O-Zone) mentioned in the "email bands about RBN" thread that he at least tried contacting him already. So, unless things have been secretly in the works for a very long time, the Pokemon Theme isn't coming.

This would be amazing.

This would be amazing.

I imagine Nintendo holds at least some of the rights to that song (at the very least I'm pretty sure they've got "Pokemon" trademarked), and they probably wouldn't be interested in licensing it for a system not available on their console.
