Video: Maestro! Jump In Music
Pastagames unveiled the track list for their upcoming rhythm-platformer Maestro! Jump In Music, and I was so confused by what I saw that I had to go search out a trailer for this game so I could understand exactly what they were going for. And after seeing what they're doing, I'm really hoping that there's a North American release coming following its fall launch in Europe. The song list is... well, let's say... unique. And after you watch the trailer, you'll see that the gameplay is just as intriguing. Especially the singing!
There are 24 titles divided between the six game universes:
Green Grove: a colorful and flowery universe, full of exotic animals and lush vegetation. Rhythmic bass and afro beats inspire the music selection here.
• Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No. 5
• Antonin Dvorak - Symphony No.9, From the New World
• Madness - Our House
• Traditional Japanese song - Sakura Sakura
Purple Sonata: what better music for a 17th Century palace with statues and marbling-a-go-go, than a classical sound, as baroque as you like, that has stood the test of time?
• Jean Sebastien Bach - Little Fugue in G Minor
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - A Little Night Music
• Perren, Mizell et al.- ABC
• Traditional French song - Vent Frais, Vent du Matin
Yellow Allegro: sojourn under the Italian sun in Venice where only the cursed seagulls throw a shadow over the scene. The music is typical of the setting: odes to joy, and love in the form of mandolin solos.
• Eduardo Di Capua - O Sole Mio
• The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun
• Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons
• Traditional English song - Greensleeves
Indigo Flow: a change of scenery and a free-dive to thousands of metres below the water's surface! Rare air bubbles ring out and myriad species of fish resonate with sound at every touch.
• Erik Satie - Gymnopedie No.1
• Pyotr Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker
• Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell on You
• Traditional Russian song - Otchi Chornye
Black out Beats: a spatial inspiration for this voyage beyond the solar system against a backdrop of starry skies and melting planets. The sounds tend towards the psychedelic: strange attractors winning out over gravity.
• Johannes Brahms - Hungarian Dances
• Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt
• Leonard Bernstein - The Magnificent 7
• Traditional song adapted for Bizet's Carmen - El Arreglito
Red Hot tempo: the Wild West, steam trains and gunslinging cowboys-even Charles Bronson's reflexes would be put to the test in this Leone-inspired nightmare.
• M. Gore, D. Pitchford - Fame
• Ennio Morricone - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
• Isaac Albeniz - Asturias
• American Traditional song - When the Saints Go Marching In
The soundtrack was composed entirely by the group Yubaba Smith & Fortune, and Maestro! Jump In Music received an award for Best Soundtrack at the Festival des Jeux Vidéo 2009 in France. You can also listen and download for free a portion of the soundtrack at www.maestrojumpinmusic.com!

Not to mention the gameplay ...

From the title, I thought it was going to be related to the PS2 game Mad Maestro! - but this is a totally different game.
