Mark Morgan, soundtrack composer for quite a few older PC RPG classics has aired the all-clear signal and given us all access to the Vault Archives.  This is great news for fans of his superb work in Fallout and Fallout 2 for a few reasons, the least of which being that it’s a free download over at Aural Network.

Of course, for those of us audiophiles who happen to also be vgm freaks, the fact that both soundtracks have been remastered and many of the tracks mixed together is really cause for excitement.  Plus, the audio quality is fantastic as the release is in 320kbps and the new mixing really makes the whole experience flow better than simply listening to a series of rips.  There’s even a plus for OCD taggers like myself.  We now have actual names for all the tracks from Fallout 2 (which never saw an official release in the first place).

For the rest of you who haven’t already heard the Fallout soundtracks.. if you like quality, atmospheric music, you can’t go wrong getting this.  Come on, it’s free!  Go get it!

Oh, and you can also grab Vault Archives from here if you want.

BTW, If you go to Gamestop, you can obtain it in your grubby hands for a mere $20 when you trade certain games in (http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/ff13/).

And if you stay here, you know we’ve had the soundtrack for awhile, right? It’s by Masashi Hamauzu. He’s the one behind Dirge of Cerebus and Unlimited Saga- and was also behind more prominent works such as SaGa Frontier 2 and Front Mission: Gun Hazard.

I know it’s hard to envision Final Fantasy without Uematsu, but I believe that Hamauzu stepped up to the plate, and stepped well.

Played Flower on PS3?
Did you enjoy the music in this game and have been looking for the soundtrack?
You would have found out quickly that there is no soundtrack for this PS3 online store game… well, not yet. A quick search on Google will reveal that the composer, Vincent Diamante is in talks with Sony to release the album. So fingers crossed.

While you’re waiting for that, we are proud to release an Optical Audio Rip ‘Soundtrack’. This version was created by use of a Creative sound card and the optical audio out on the PlayStation 3. It was ripped in 24bit, 2116Kbps Wave format and encoded to MP3. Whilst it is not a complete rip, the released tracks represent 85-90% of the music in the game.
All the stages are included, from ‘Memories’ to ‘Urban’ and even the Credits finale stage.

The music in Flower is fantastically mellow and sits in the background beautifully. It is the perfect chill-out music.
