Bit Trip BEAT Soundtrack Review

Hey,

As a part of Bit Trip Lovers' Bundle and of my March Music Madness Month special, I'll be reviewing some Bit Trip soundtracks as my first task.

So those of who don't have any clue what I'm talking about. Here what the wikipedia had to say about Bit Trip series: BIT TRIP Series

Now that you know, I shall begin my review of Bit Trip BEAT soundtrack.

The Review

It's chip tunes more or less. The game is based on rhythmic beats which obviously you can hear from the first few seconds of the album. The artist is title simply Gaijin games. No more to add. 

Compelling, but short

Both the Bit Trip Beat game and soundtrack are short. I understand this for it can get frustrating and repetitive too soon for the listener. Fortunately, the tracks vary between a couple of second to 4 minutes of rhythmic beats that bounce and recoil inside the experience. To truly appreciate the soundtrack, one has to experience the game first, otherwise the listening experience is bound to cut short, rootless, and most of all, confusing. The game generates the music as the player advance through the stage.

The graphics and music go hand in hand, simple but compelling.
