Memorable Music in Gaming #26

There is a lot to like about our new batch of Memorable Music selections. We get a few PC entries, but a couple of console ones as well that help us span retro titles to more recent entries. I have to say that the Sega Genesis one in particular put a smile on my face.

Duet (PC) – Arete II

Duet's OST – masterfully composed by Tim Shiel – is the very definition of "love at first sight". While the entire world may have went gaga over Shovel Knight's and Minecraft's OST (and rightfully so) when they first came out, Duet too deserved (and deserves) that level of praise and attention. For a simple game about avoiding white blocks and tiles, and with zero story to speak of (in the traditional sense at-least), the OST is, for lack of a better word, flawless. Seriously, within and without context the tunes are the audio equivalent of using a q-tip… at the same time receiving a shoulder massage while a school of doctor fish nibble away at your feet.
