Famous Landmarks in Paris Recreated Using Historic Images from World War II

Artist Julien Knez spent two months touring Paris to figure out how much the famous city has changed since World War II. During August of 1944, the Liberation of Paris was fought, freeing Parisians from Nazi Germany’s oppressive control. After collecting vintage photographs of this momentous battle, Knez decided to visit the locations that were captured in the historic images. At each location, the artist tried to imitate the exact angle that was shown in his photos, so he could recreate the snapshot in front of its modern day counterpart. “It was very intense to imagine the fights in the streets I know as a Parisian,” stated Knez to The Washington Post.

Brave Wave releasing remastered Street Fighter II soundtrack ⊟

Cool People (and Club Tiny members!) Brave Wave Productions have started a new “Generation Series” in which original game soundtracks are remastered under the supervision of the original sound teams.

The first game to receive this loving treatment is Street Fighter II.

The soundtrack release will include new remasters of both CPS-1 and CPS-2 versions of the arcade game, extracted directly from the arcade boards and approved by original composer Yoko Shimomura.

Fans of physical media will be treated with a double album that features liner notes by Yoko Shimomura and Polygon.com writer Matt Leone. Additionally, and for the first time in the series history, we will present with Capcom a limited edition vinyl release, carefully and especially remastered in translucent colored vinyls, with art prints sourced from the Capcom archive.

I am really exciting about hearing the SF2 soundtrack in a new way. This is so cool and so important.
