    I first discovered this OST right after my daughter was born in 2018. I would wake up late with my wife and hang out with her while she fed our little girl. I'd listen to this music and think about how nervous I was to be a good dad. But I also felt hopeful and excited.
    She's 4 years old now, and I still put this on for her. She likes to dance to the music, and it makes me smile.

      Agree to disagree. This OST is great, I'd definitely put it high on my list, but it's definitely not the best OST between 2010~2015.
      Going off the top of my head and talking mainstream stuff, there's Interstellar, Inception, Attack on Titan, Whiplash, How To Train Your Dragon, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Drive, The Social Network.
      Even in 2015 alone, Undertale is a very strong competitor for that "best OST", but I would rank Second Round above it.

It took hours between us getting there and getting out, and in that time, we spent a lot just sitting in our broken car. In there, I had this in my recommendations and decided to check it out. When I heard this song, I knew I had to try the game, and I've been a big appreciator of it ever since. This was almost a year ago.

    This soundtrack (and this game) in two words:

  • @AlphaOrchestra
    @AlphaOrchestra 8 лет назад +86

    Music is mostly appreciated in accompanying, or being accompanied by another art like in a Music video and here this might be the other way round and appreciated as a game accompanying music. Having listened to this OST, the effusie impulses of your creativity, where almost every entry has the feature of a gem found in one ost, the clarity of their appearance in arrangement and in the mix likewise, as well as the length to which they amount, while not knowing much about the game, I am convinced that it makes the game better than it already might be.
    The first round was already content of this, taking off, whereas the second one arrived at a by-gone VGM, even Anime era, or rather kind of musical craft, in which it might take its place surrounded by variously precious titels, but might as well keep us company in the present, reanimate and resume to unearth the beauty hinted there.
    Really glad after all the time of knowing about you to see you thrive!
    Anyway, congratulations and cheers!

    Played it a couple years ago and I keep coming back to this OST. There's something so very nostalgic about the soundtrack and the game that made me play more than a hundred hours of what could, coding wise, be just an early Flash game on some random game website in the early 2000s. But it isn't, the writing is charming, the characters are fun and the soundtrack sets it apart. Being able to choose you own tracks in the beginning of every night? That's *chef's kiss* material right there.

    WOW! I mean...WOOOOW!
    I was mesmerized by the trailer's music, so I had to look for the OST. DEFINETELY GONNA BUY THIS.
    It OOZES 80's style, classic 16-bit and coin-op games, it oozes classic 80's anime and it's absolutely great on its own. Love it. 10/10, perfect.
    Shades of Yuzo Koshiro and beyond that. I always thought of videogames, just like movies, as a complex form of art that's actually made by several art pieces that come together to form a collective work that benefits from the work of all artists partecipating to it, and music is by no means a small part.
    There were obviously very talented artists working on this game and you are clearly incredibly gifted. Kudos to you, thanks for your beautiful, soul-enriching work of art.

    I only recently heard about this game, and I'm listening to the OST for the first time...
    ... and yet, it feels nostalgic. As if I'd heard each and every track before, maybe in a past life. It feels like returning home to visit your family after you moved to another city, and you'd forgotten the warmth of your special place, but it was always there, waiting for you.
    The music encapsulates this perfectly, it's just... I love it!

    When I was working at a summer job, I would listen to this soundtrack (more so this whole video) while I worked.
    Well not really worked, more so walked to work.
    I wokred a over night job at a garden center here in canada during the summer. Each night I would wake up close to 2-4 am (depending on the starting shift). After getting up and going outside in the dead of night to walk to work, it would take close to a hour to get work some times, depending on the weather. But every time I walked to work, And listen to the songs from this track, it would help me pass the time. It also reminded me that while I wished for a better life, or a better job, at the end of the day (or night) I was working at least, that I was alive. I was alive, I was able to look up to the night sky and see the stars, I was alive and I can feel the wind on me, and I was alive and could eat some good food, and have some good times.
    My message is that while you may not be in the best spot in life, and might not be working the best job, your alive, and sometimes, that's all you need. because being alive means you can experance the simple things in life as you walk around your towns, at any time of day.

    Absolutely incredible work, Michael!!! I just started playing this game for my first time this past week and, as another composer, I can truly say this is incredible work. You manage to take Synthwave into unique territory and make it something truly emotional and resonant. This isn't your typical Synthwave that I so often hear trying to copy 1980s movies with the rolling basslines or giant snare drums. This is genuinely symphonic, emotional and I love the tones and ideas you come up with. It's so dream-like with bells, pianos, bright pads and honestly feels like it leans more into 1990's music which is just my jam. It's so different and that uniqueness is what makes it stands out. Very well done!!

    It's genius that in the game you get to choose which song plays in queue on the jukebox, because then every song means something different to each person. For example, I played snowfall a lot so it's like my "at home bartending" theme. It's magical!

    Your OST first attracted me to it years ago. This is a genuine soundscape. You can just feel the setting of the game in each song. But they're all open-ended enough that you can grab w/e from the jukebox and it just works for whatever is being said, by whomever.
    Anyone composing vg-osts should listen to this at least once.
