(EarthBlade was the Celeste dev's next game, which they cancelled a few months back.)

The soundtrack is really good. Shame nothing came out of it.

Extras:

• Remastered Stereo Version

• Analysis of why the Ratchet and Clank OST is so good

The combination of the Famicon and NES versions of the soundtrack gives a lot of depth and it sounds amazing

David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels wrote and performed 10 original songs for the game. Some of them later ended up on Bowie's album "Hours".

He performs three of them "live" in the game. You can watch those here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-0okqYM5s4

This is the remastered version. In the og game many players didn't get to hear the flute depending on the sound card they used. Imo the flute adds a lot, good to have it baked in now.
