Jam of the Day: The Sole Regret [unofficial name] by Darren Korb (Bastion Soundtrack)

When I played the demo for Bastion, I immediately fell in love with the game’s audio. The music accompanied by the gravelly, dynamic narrator was enough to convince me to purchase the game so I could experience more. Fortunately the game is pretty fun, too.

There isn’t an official Bastion soundtrack as of this moment, but they’re looking into releasing one. Once they do, it’s and instant purchase for me and it should be for you, too. Described by the composer as “acoustic frontier triphop,” Bastion’s soundtrack gets in your head and stays there. There’s some interesting variety in the instrumentation at play here and each track is just really easy to love. There’s even a few vocal tracks that, when heard in game, really stand out. An official soundtrack release can’t come soon enough.
