Tracks From Soundtracks Vol.10: The 80's (A Soundtrack Heaven Original Compilation)

 

The 80's were a fun time in terms of music. A lot of new artists came on the scene and the emphasis was on the beat and the energy. New Wave and Electronic-Pop dominated the charts and this was also reflected in the movies of the time. A lot were aimed at the youth market with many becoming cult classics and being successful at the box office. This collection is a sample of a few releases of that era.

Tracks From Soundtracks Vol.10

65daysofstatic – No Man’s Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe (video game soundtrack)

 

No Man's Sky is an action-adventure survival game developed and published by Hello Games. The game is built around four pillars: exploration, survival, combat, and trading. Players can engage with the entirety of a procedurally generated deterministic open world universe, which includes over 18 quintillion planets.

The game's first soundtrack, No Man's Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe by 65daysofstatic, was released on 5 August 2016, and received positive reviews from music critics. The first 10 tracks of the album were composed by 65daysofstatic specifically for No Man's Sky and its planned OST. These tracks, along with other recording snippets, were then sampled/disassembled for use by the in-game procedural music engine. The final 6 tracks, on the other hand, are tracks generated by the procedural music engine that were then selected for inclusion in the album. 

Andrew Webster of The Verge described the soundtrack as an extension of past 65daysofstatic albums, particularly from Wild Light, but with a greater science-fiction vibe to it, considering the track "Asimov" to be like "taking flight into a Chris Foss painting". Sam Walker-Smart for Clash rated the album 8 out of 10, considered the album one of 65daysofstatic's best, and that it was "apocalyptic, transcendental and drenched in a sense of pure epic-ness"
