In this weekly feature, I recommend game soundtracks. I share a few of my favorite tracks, talk about why everyone should listen to the soundtrack, and a little bit about the composer. This week's choice is Starbound by Chucklefish.

MY FAVORITE TRACKS
(The titles link to YouTube videos... and I highly recommend some good headphones to best enjoy all of the subtle elements of the music!)(Length: 4:07) If I had to imagine a track about seeing something for the first time and being amazed, this would be it.(Length: 5:44) This track makes me think of pondering over some curiosity.(Length: 10:59) This is my absolute favorite of the bunch! This track is simple, pretty, and lowers my blood pressure.(Length: 4:16) The 1-2-3 waltz feel of this piece gives it an innocence and purity at first, which matures at 1:40 into something more complex and dynamic. It isn't just following a pattern throughout, which helps listeners stay engaged.(Length: 7:09) It's all about the strings.(Length: 3:14) This is so simple and happy and upbeat... it feels like it belongs in a Nintendo ad.(Length: 3:09) The chime-like quality mixed with electronic makes me think of some early 2000's music with a pleasant feeling of nostalgia.(Length: 3:38) This one just makes me think of a few Game Gear titles I used to enjoy.(Length: 4:58) The vibe here that I get is Asian crossed with Western, but with some strong orchestral pursuits. It has an ever-flowing melody that keeps me listening the whole way through!
