Album lore

Pokémon Reorchestrated: Double Team! collects twelve orchestral reinterpretations of themes from the Pokémon video game series, released in early 2014 by Eric Buchholz and Braxton Burks on the Loudr label. The album is a carefully arranged homage, translating the familiar chiptunes into full-bodied orchestral settings. Notably, the track "Ecruteak City" stands out, rendering the original’s haunting melody with layered strings and brass that evoke a nostalgic yet fresh resonance.Though the project resides firmly within the niche of video game-inspired orchestral music, its appeal has grown steadily, as reflected by over 34,000 Last.fm listeners and close to 273,000 scrobbles. Buchholz and Burks’ work here serves as a signal within the lineage of game music adaptations, offering a refined, chamber-like take on the Pokémon canon. The album is best suited for those who appreciate the intersection of video game culture and classical instrumentation.
