Info
So here’s a small game I’d never heard of before Chimeratio posted a song from it last week. It’s a take on your standard 360˚ tunnel racing game where you spin around a big tube to avoid obstacles, except inverted so you’re rolling along the outside of a small tube and the obstacles are sticking out of it. The art direction and level design is based on early 20th century geometric abstract art, which is pretty cool.
The music is a bunch of ’70ish jazz-rock with live performances, which I absolutely would not have expected if I had seen the game in action before I heard any of the music. Lots of electric guitar, organ, and sax grooving out at a mostly moderate pace, a little on the smoother/bluesier side but with some proggy spice. It’s not a style you hear super often in video game music!
Recommended tracks:
-
“A Night Out at Piet’s” has a funny nonsense choir at 2:14
-
“The Construction of Gravity” starts off as one of the fastest tracks in the game before dropping into a nice guitar solo
