Good news for fans of video game music who have a penchant for 8-bit tunes with a classical twist – the FILMharmonic’s Sonic 30th Anniversary Symphony album can be streamed now on Apple Music (opens in new tab) and iTunes (opens in new tab).

Though there’s no sign yet of the fabulous tracks making their way to other music streaming platforms just yet, Sonic’s social media manager (because OF COURSE, Sonic has his own social media manager) says that “hopefully” it will be “rolling out to other services soon” (thanks, NME (opens in new tab)).

It’s a wondrous celebration of some of the most iconic tracks from Sonic’s hefty career, with tracks coming from an array of Sonic games, not just the original platformers that made the Blue Blur a household name. You can even try before you buy (or stream, depending upon what platform you use) thanks to the preview feature on iTunes (opens in new tab). The tracks are credited to the Tomoya Ohtani Band, Crush 40, Sonic Adventure Music Experience, and Sonic the Hedgehog himself, of course.
