The release is overdue, but it comes at a good time. A huge thanks to the artists, whose generosity made this compilation possible – check out their work if you haven’t already. It’s one of the rare game soundtracks you’d want to hear even after having heard it on repeat while solving some of the title’s trickier puzzles. Now, I’m pleased to offer a lot of that music for your listening pleasure, for free. Their sonic craft is a great example of what digital music can be. But it’s the soundtrack that sealed the deal: ambient-tinged work by artists like Gas 0095, Julien Neto, Loscil, and High Skies helped us imagine an unseen, microscopic (or perhaps macroscopic) world. The independent game Osmos won our hearts in 2009, with transcendent, meditative gameplay built on simulated particle physics, starting as a floating wonderland and ending with some deliciously punishing difficulty.
