  de Blob is de Bomb: de Blob 2 Exclusive Liner Notes from John Guscott

  You should all know that we were huge fans of the original de Blob soundtrack, and we mentioned that the second game kind of snuck by without much fanfare in the United States with the game’s soundtrack being released online for free (pick it up if you haven’t already). The fact that it’s free doesn’t mean it isn’t any good, however.

  We’ve been fortune enough to be able to continue our embedded “liner notes interview” series with John Guscott, composer, arranger, and performer of the de Blob soundtracks.  He shares his thoughts on the particular tracks and musical styles featured in the game.

  Join us in our hybrid review/interview after the jump! (more…)

  de Blob 2’s Sneak Attack: Free Soundtrack and Live Set Downloads

  Huh, this one really snuck right by us. We were huge fans of the first de Blob game and it’s stellar soundtrack composed by John Guscott. With de Blob 2, however, THQ has seemingly released the game as a budget title in the United States without much fanfare. It’s quite a shame, as we would have loved to have done more with the game and it’s soundtrack prior to the game’s release.

  The good news is, however, that GameSpot and IGN Australia have been doing their part to keep up with the game, and are each hosting free music from the game for you to download. Over on GameSpot’s videogame music blog, Sound Byte, you can download the game’s soundtrack in it’s entirety for FREE.  They’re in .wav format, so be prepared for a lengthy download. Click here to check that out. Over on IGN Australia, there’s a special live set medley recording performed by John Guscott and some session players at a de Blob 2 launch event which you can grab here.

  Pretty cool all around. I liked the physical disc that was released with the first game as a purchase bonus from certain retailers, but you can’t beat free, I suppose. Get over there, download the music, and let us know what you think!
