I've been listening to a lot of Bravely Default's music lately. It blows me away that what's probably my favorite soundtrack from the past decade was released on a handheld! The soundtrack is basically a love letter to music made for 90's JRPGs, so you can expect to hear a lot of hard/prog rock, Celtic influence, and very distinctive lead parts. Here are some samples: Main theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StNkp_EtVFg You Are My Hope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCa17qVOTNM Depressed Land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA54S3pipvw Conflict's Chime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a-8pqvm298 That Person's Name Is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CAhqCAzkxg They even did a live concert for it over in Japan in late 2012. Much to my chagrin, the videos from the show were removed from Youtube a couple months ago, but I recall that in one of the songs, the guitarist from Megadeth put in an appearance on stage

Austin Wintory (the guy who wrote the score to Journey, which has the distinct honor of being the first game score to be nominated for a Grammy) generated some news recently. In the past month, some shenanigans around union rules came to a head and he made this video about what's going on. Speaking of Journey, here's its entire soundtrack complete with composer's commentary via annotations. If you haven't heard it yet, you should!

Schizotek posted:Total Annihilation A great score for a great (if underappreciated) game! It comes from that short-lived era of gaming where soundtracks were implemented via redbook audio, so if you had the physical game disc, you could stick it in an audio CD player to listen to its music. I actually had no idea that was a thing until probably 8 or 9 years after TA came out and dug my disc out of storage to try it out. Then I started trying all of my games from that era. Games that use redbook varied with regard to listening convenience. TA was nicely split into separate tracks, but Age of Empires II is just one long track that would have been a pain to seek through on an actual CD player.
