It seems like everyone and their granny is grabbing the Spore Hero Soundtrack. Nice to see such praise and acceptance with open arms! Here’s a review from Frictionless Insight in which they share their thoughts:
The soundtrack for Spore Hero did force me to think about what makes music “science-fiction”-y, because the soundtrack does a wonderful job of maintaining that feel. For this soundtrack, it’s something about woodwinds holding haunting chords and filling in the spaces with sharper sounds, like plucked strings and xylophone-type sounds. Whatever the cause, all the music for Spore Hero feels like it should accompany adventures on alien worlds… or perhaps inspire an experimental dance troupe’s choreography. It’s a tangential point, but perhaps someday we’ll better understand why there is virtually no overlap between science-fiction nuts and modern dance aficionados.
