If you’re into indie games and indie game music, the MAGFest event quickly becomes a star-studded event. One such star is Danny Baranowsky, composer of the runaway hit XBLA title Super Meat Boy. The game sold like hotcakes, in no small part due to its incredibly fun, addictive, and challenging gameplay as a puzzle/platformer.
But, even in passing, one cannot help but notice the super-hip music to this wonderful game. That’s why I was so excited when I bumped into the composer, who was selling copies of the limited edition double-disc soundtrack that he kept in his backpack. I’d played a couple hours of SMB at a friend’s house and wanted to dig deeper into the soundtrack. Here was the opportunity, literally standing in front of me.
Props to Danny for independently printing this two disc set, which was just released on January 11th (the week before MAGFest). We’re going to slice this meaty package apart after the jump; you’ll not want to miss it! (more…)
