Video game music is often (rightly) associated with electronic music: with bleeps, sweeps, and creeps. I don’t always think that’s a bad thing, but it is refreshing to hear someone mix it up. Today’s example: Katamari Damacy, a game which brilliantly uses music as part of its overall experience for the player.
While there are a few electronic tracks, the best are in done in a jazzy / lounge singer style which is unexpected and works incredibly well given how wonderfully weird the rest of the game is. A few tracks for your listening pleasure:
Katamari Damacy remains the only game whose soundtrack I have actually purchased. I highly recommend you do the same.
