Happy 250th Birthday, America!
On July 4th, delegates of the Second Continental Congress met to sign a document that would set a course for the Thirteen Colonies. Intense debate and voting sessions in previous days and weeks were required to ensure that all the colonies were in agreement. All knew they were declaring themselves traitors to a monarchy an ocean away yet were resolved in their intent to free themselves the invisible hand that burden them of their way of life. Two days before, they approved a resolution of independence; on July 4th , the Declaration of Independence was dated and signed, legally separating themselves from King George III.
In lieu of the Fourth of July weekend, we are celebrating with tracks from video games that were developed in the United States of America: a scientist escaping a lab during an alien invasion, a lone prisoner who turns out to be a Dragonborn, and a man trying to pay a debt by searching for a special woman. We’ve also got covers and remixes following each of these tracks.
Enjoy these tracks as you work the barbecue cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, watch the patriotic floats on the street, and see the night sky burst with colorful fireworks…
