Video Game Music Thread
-
I'm listening to the soundtrack to Spelunky while I write about it for the blog and it made me remember that we used to have this thread and it was awesome.
Here's some Spelunky music

The Scarlet Furies
Everything I've heard from these guys has been pretty solid. This specific song is from a game called Grey Matter written/designed by Jane Jensen. Her Husband, Robert Holmes is the rhythm guitarist and composer of the Gabriel Knight games and the rather exceptional vocalist is his daughter, Raleigh. Gonna see these guys perform in a few weeks at an open house at their game studio in Lancaster County, PA.
Anyhow the Gabriel Knight music has always been a favorite of mine. The first game is sadly only ever been available in Midi format (though I do get the feeling a 20th anniversay iOS release is coming and if that's the case I'm sure Robert will re-record the music live). The second game would have been digital but low quality. Holmes even wrote a faux Richard Wagner opera for that game. He took a back seat on GK3 and only helped out on that soundtrack with David Henry, but it's also rather solid.

Reason #5,897,636 to Play Earthbound: The Music It Inspires
-
While I view American Water as humanity's great achievement, Earthbound is a very close second. As cheesy as it sounds, I've never played a video game that has even approached its amount of heart.

Banjo Kazooie's soundtrack is now available for free from Bandcamp.

Now it'd be nice if this could happen for every pre-2000 video game. -
The dreamcast is the only prev gen console I still own.

Started playing Bioshock Infinite today. Few hours in... I dunno yet... Seems like a lot of hype for what so far just feels like a reskinned Bioshock. But I've only had Elizabeth with me for a short while. Anyhow I hope it picks up so I don't feel guilty the time spent with it could have been better doing something else.
Sometimes I feel the gaming media is not critical enough.
Anyhoo, fingers crossed. -
When Elizabeth enters is when the game gets really good in my opinion.
-
Yeah I hope it ratchets up.
Otherwise I should probably be playing with audacity and ableton. Or washing the car or hanging that artwork that's been leaning against the wall for the past 4 weeks. :p -
Well the music of the game rocks:
