Welcome to my Retro Game Music blog. As an avid game geek and music nerd, I decided to start a very simple blog about what I'm passionate about: Classic video game tunes. Put on some headphones and relax.

HEAR SOMETHING WILL YA !!

There's two kinds of people in this world: People with loaded guns, and people who dig. You dig.

I love Cowboys. Some people are scifi geeks, some are fantasy geeks, I'm a Wild West geek. The only thing that makes cowboys better are Android cowboys. That's my geek fetish. Robot Cowboys. So you can probably guess I get a raging boner for Weird West/Steampunk stuff.

Anyway, where am I going with this? Timesplitters 2 was a solid game. It was made through the fallout of the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark dev team, so there's some ties to Rare. Specifically, I'm looking at Graeme Norgate, a solid composer who did some work for Rare in David Wise's shadow.

But Norgate did the whole score for Timesplitters 2, which has an INCREDIBLY varied soundtrack, taking fitting music for respective eras (For, say, the 1930's Chicago Mobster era, for example) and spinning it into something incredibly fitting for a kind of dance/techno soundtrack. But here's the Wild West theme, it really takes on a sort of 'epic' feel to it. Give it a listen, the slow start builds into something truly fierce.
