Killer Instinct's soundtrack is eargasmic

Thunder's theme is my favorite. Mick did incredible work overall, can't wait to hear it in person.
 
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.
 
I need the full version of that little bit after the main theme, that plays during the freeze frame after matches end. Need......
 
Mick Gordon is doing Wolfenstein: New Order too, so I'm sure that will be OST of 2014.
 
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.
 
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
 
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.
 
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.
 
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).
 
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.
 
Gawdddammnmm that's good stuff.

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