Welcome to GamerSoundtracks.com, Your Source for Video Game Music, MIDI's, Sheet Music, Guitar Tabs, Videos, & More
It all started when GamerSoundtracks.com co-owner Alex Martinez bought imported sheet music for one of his favorite video games, Final Fantasy VI. "The songs are absolutely incredible," he says, "being a musician myself, I wanted to learn how to play these songs on my guitar & bass so I could turn them into my own style."
Alex began surfing the web to see if there were others out there like him. He was blown away by how large the video game music community was. "I couldn't believe how popular video game music had become," Alex says, "I wanted to join the fray."
After remixing a few tunes, Alex decided he wanted to build a website dedicated to everything involving video game music, at which point the initial stages of GamerSoundtracks.com was born. "I knew a little about web design from high school but I still needed a refresher," he said. "So I bought a couple books and started right away."
Now, after several months of research, design & hard work, GamerSoundtracks.com is ready to go. Needing some help, Alex's friend Dusten Sofge became co-owner to help run the site. "We're very excited about where we can take this," Alex says, "With lots of hard work, we believe we can become a premier source for video game music."
So what will GamerSoundtracks.com be offering? "Obviously we're going to allow visitors to send in their remixes to be put on the site, but we will also have piano sheet music, guitar tabs, videos, contests & much more."
Even after the months of work, there is still plenty to do. "We have a ton of MIDI music files that will be uploaded over the next few weeks," Alex says, "eventually the site will be fully user interactive as well, but we're going to take one step at a time."
For now, visitors can browse through their music collection, join the forums & submit a music file if they have one. Alex mentions that visitors should bookmark their page because they will be expanding day by day. "This is a site we are dedicated to. It is our hope that every day when visitors come to our site, we will have something new for them to see or to listen to."

Songstress Janid's "ONE" CD Release Delayed
NEW YORK, NY, -- After the successful debut of her CD "Goddess", "New York's Sexiest Latina", Janid did not waste any time and immediately went back in the studio to work on ONE. Once again, Janid chose to work alongside her long-time friend and producer Kaydean and his songwriting team who helped her give this second production a more soulful sound. Only eight weeks later, ONE was born. ONE runs the gamut from Pop R&B to soulful seduction ballads ending with a pop ballad that would be a candidate for Song of the Year. All throughout, Janid flawlessly delivers a performance of a lifetime and maintains her deeply rooted urban style.
ONE establishes Janid as a well-rounded artist with an incredible versatility who has reached an amazing vocal maturity in a short period of time. "I wanted to name my second album ONE because I feel it is ONE of a kind and it's my way of establishing that music and I are ONE, it's ONE love... and coincidentally, it's also being released ONE year after Goddess," said Janid. ONE also features collaborations with fellow Dead Ninja Records recording artists MC Que, Gadjett and Ramon Michaelm from Tra Knox.
Cnet.com's Editor's pick for Brown Eyed Soul Artist, Janid's fanbase continues to grow at an incredibly fast rate with a record of 1.8 million individual visits to deadninjarecords.com per month. Currently, Janid is planning her ONE TOUR which will cover the United States and Europe.

SAGA enters studio to record final album with Michael Sadler
Legendary Canadian band, SAGA, enters Sound Image studio in Los Angeles this week to begin work on their 19th studio album, currently titled "10,000 Days." After 30 years of fronting the band, vocalist Michael Sadler has decided this will be his last chapter with SAGA.
"As I think about it," Michael explains, "I've spent more than half of my life focused on my career. Whether traveling or in the studio, I simply haven't spent a great deal of time at home, wherever that may have been at the time, over the last 30 years!"
"I suppose what I'm trying to say is, I've decided to shift my focus to what now matters most to me and something that has eluded me since we began the band...that something is my family!"
Forming in 1977, SAGA was launched into rock stardom in 1983 when MTV started spinning the singles to their fourth album, World's Apart. "On the Loose" proved to be their breakthrough in America and peaked at #26 on the Billboard Charts in March of 1983. "Wind Him Up" became the second single and peaking at #64 on Billboard the following month.
The band has been touring and releasing albums ever since.
Look for SAGA's "10,000 Days" in stores in October 2007.
