To me Sadira's and Sabrewulf's got my blood going I really liked them.

 

[Timu]

One of the best soundtracks of 2013 IMO.

 

[zainetor]

One of the best soundtracks of 2013 IMO.

and of course it's not listed in the doritos awards.

 

[Twin Tails]

This is all i've been listening to, Chief thunder's is the shit.

 

[Toxi]

Woah, the 1st one almost sounds really Japanese.

(Is it Jago?)

It's a Tibetan language, and yep, Jago.

 

[The Xtortionist]

As a ps4 owner this game makes me mad jelly. Though if I bought an Xbone this would prolly be my only game until Titanfall lol.

 

[Vodh]

Sorry but it doesn't come even close to the old ki music.

I don't hope that this is the sabrewulf main stage music:

It's so bad in many ways. It doesn't even contain a main melody in it.

Sad to be unable to appreciate amazing music. My condolences.

 

[Papercuts]

Thunder's theme is my favorite. Mick did incredible work overall, can't wait to hear it in person.

 

[Skilotonn]

Thanks for the heads-up about the Music Teaser Suite #2 - damn that Main Theme music is too raw man, especially love the transition into the fade-in to it from Orchid's theme.

Soundtrack is going to be crazy.

 

[akaoni]

I need the full version of that little bit after the main theme, that plays during the freeze frame after matches end. Need......

 

[whitehawk]

I love that he sampled the Orchid scream from the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YBynHVPYMo

Right at 12 seconds in.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

in the spirit of KI music

heard this in another thread

KI: Jago stage in 8-Bit

 

[Marvelous]

To me Sadira's and Sabrewulf's got my blood going I really liked them.

Yeah, Sadira's and Sabrewulf's themes are my current favorites. Orchid's theme is pretty good, too.

 

[EatChildren]

Mick Gordon is doing Wolfenstein: New Order too, so I'm sure that will be OST of 2014.

 

[RyudBoy]

I love how you can hear parts of Orchid's original theme mixed into the new one. My mind was blown away when I first noticed it. Also, really like Jagos's music and the main theme.

 

[Clockwork5]

Man this is gooood. I have been playing rayman legends to this for the past hour haha. Great OST.

 

[BPoole]

Pretty damn awesome. I was a huge fan of the original on ARC/SNES, so it's a shame that I won't get to play this since it's on XBone

 

[princemarth23]

Mick Gordon is doing Wolfenstein: New Order too, so I'm sure that will be OST of 2014.

But David Wise has a game coming out in 2014..

 

[dookeh]

But, but I read...

"Like the visuals, the music and sounds are largely forgettable, with the exception of "C-c-c-c-combo Breaker!" which you will hear more and more frequently as you get better at the game."

[Hockeymac18]

This is really good. Brings me back to 1995 at times (right amount of nostalgia-inducing tones), but still manages to kick ass and improve upon the basic themes tremendously.

oh wow lol. They couldn't be more wrong.

 

[beyond_death]

Man this is kickass. Even if I dont get to play the game I know I've got this badass soundtrack to listen to.

 

[Satch]

THE SABERWOLF SONG IS MAKING ME SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM IT IS SO GOOD JESUS

 

[Ol No Bones]

I like orchid's jago's thunder's saberwolf's glacius' sadira's the main and continue theme the most.

 

[Dictator93]

Mick Gordon is doing Wolfenstein: New Order too, so I'm sure that will be OST of 2014.

Oh my.

 

[Mik317]

yo this soundtrack is gdlk.

If I had an XBone I would buy this game off this fact alone (it also looks fun but still)

CD Podcast Special – Killer Instinct With Mick Gordon

Just as the XBOX ONE is about to release here in Australia and New Zealand we had the opportunity to speak to one and only Mick Gordon, Music Composer, Sound Designer and Audio Director for the up coming title Killer Instinct.

He takes us through the creative process on how the music was shaped and formed. With Live versions and break downs of the main theme on the show to the highs and lows he gives us a great insight to the industry and the game Killer Instinct.

And for the Killer Instinct fans Mick gave us an exclusive live performance of the Killer Instinct theme done in a different style.

Giving it a listen now.

 

[fernoca]

Any word on the soundtrack been sold at retail/disc?

 

[evilromero]

Goddamn this is so awesome. I really want this game but don't plan on getting an XBO in the near future. So painful.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Oh man, the music really is great. I love how it's dynamic and adjusts itself depending on how a fight flows (though I'm skeptical to see if the concept will work, especially in high level play).

 

[evilromero]

Who mixed this?

 

[Star Falcon]

This is extremely good.

Not a single track i didn't enjoy. Really like the new theme for Sadira too.

My fav. tracks from the original actually belonged too Fulgore and Cinder, so looking forward to hearing more as they release new characters.

 

[J-Tier]

Gawdddammnmm that's good stuff.

Jago's was good, monk mantras + Eastern instruments + headbangingly good music. Gonna listen through the rest now.

 

[Neiteio]

GAH I WANT THIS GAME

 

[Platinumstorm]

Love Orchid's theme. Not getting a XB1 but so glad to hear the music. JAGO.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Any word on the soundtrack been sold at retail/disc?

No news yet but they said stay tuned.

 

[eoa-swam]

Amazing work. It takes me back to the arcades during the reign of KI and KI2. I lived in a seaside town so my brother and a few mates were literally always down there playing fighters.

I remember us (using my college card) to access the libraries one internet connected pc and printing out ream upon ream of move lists. Killer times.

 

[VARIA]

This soundtrack is doing everything right.

I was ready to come in here and complain but once I heard the tracks it seems like the game is in good hands. The music is one of the original Killer Instinct's most defining aspects and this new soundtrack sounds like a good tribute to the original soundtrack while still sounding fresh. Great work!

 

[Kyzon]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

That character select music is way too beast for my heart.

 

[88random]

Awesome music, makes me want to play the game.

 

[DopeyFish]

Mick Gordon is doing Wolfenstein: New Order too, so I'm sure that will be OST of 2014.

Nah, KI: Round Two is obviously going to be it

He has already said he is doing season 2

 

[Nzyme32]

Only reason i'm sad to not be getting the xbox one. He's done a great job of modernising the music but maintaining most of the characteristics of each characters orignal themes. Good job!

 

[DaxMedFlax]

Some killer cuts here.

 

[TheBlueBomber]

Glacius' Theme is fantastic, holy shit, I probably wont even get to play this (not buying an Xbox) but i will definitely be jamming this OST

 

[ape2man]

Damn it this soundtrack is REALLY good, fuckkk!!!!

 

[Defect]

I love Thunder's theme so much!

 

[Syphon Filter]

I love Thunder's theme so much!

link?

 

[sixteen-bit]

See OP

 

[ChiefofCitadelSecurity]

Sadira's track is godlike. Dark and filthy as shit.
