Disco Elysium

British Sea Power
90/100

Game Soundtrack, Ambient, Post Rock

One of the most important parts of the game is British Sea Power's soundtrack, it's an extremely fitting soundtrack and I don't think they could have done anything better other than having more tracks. A few of them use the same melody and are only slightly different and I don't mean the different versions of Whirling-In-Rags because each of those are very fitting, I mean The Field Autopsy and Burn, Baby, Burn being the same song but different versions. I don't think it's a major complaint though because they could have easily just had a couple of tracks that replayed in a bunch of scenarios so different versions of songs instead isn't that bad. It's also 30 tracks long so you can't even argue that the reused melodies is detrimental to the experience because there is straight up 2 hours of music.

Phenomenal soundtrack for a phenomenal game, easily one of the best works of art created and proof that video games can be amazing mediums for stories. So glad to have this on vinyl.
