Search and Destroy; Video Game Soundtracks

The new Tempest has a pretty great soundtrack:

What do you guys think?

xpost whoa indeed!

since my interest in vg music comes mostly out of my interest in film music and I barely actually play any games I don't keep as abreast as I would like, but I've become a fan of Austin Wintory-- especially Journey and the Journey Bonus album but also his awesome viking chamber doom music for Banner Saga. Also love Daniel Pemberton's stuff for Little Big Planet (as I'm sure anyone who's played that game does).

anyone know of anything that sounds like the original Katamari soundtrack? what a wonderful and bizarre album that is.

Nothing sounds like the first Katamari. Maybe Hiyohiko Senba and his Haniwa All Stars but not really.

Austin Wintory, first composer to get a Grammy nomination for a video game soundtrack: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/11/journey-soundtrack-loses-grammy-to-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo/

The way his scores work in tandem with the sound effects of the games, especially Flow & Journey, are very very impressive. The scores by themselves are a lot more new agey / traditionally cinematic. I converted three mp3's from youtube game captures of Flow, and man are they ever disorienting.

Journey is the first video game I actually picked up the controller for and played through since Katamari.

I actually like the 'journey bonus bundle' album more than the proper journey OST
