Midsummer Songaday: Day 7

DAY SEVEN: JIM GUTHRIE - DARK FLUTE

So this is from the soundtrack to Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP, a beautiful little game I pulled from the Humble Bundle today (everyone go support it, and get free games! Bastion, Limbo, Superbrothers, Amnesia, Psychonauts, their soundtracks, and likely more to come! Pay what you want!).
So far, the game has just entranced me. It's goddamn beautiful. I've seen little tabletop RPGs that have been described as "roleplaying poems" and if there's such a thing then this is definitely a "videogame poem." Short little session pieces, gorgeous imagery, a fun game, but more than anything, atmosphere. I'll review it when I finish.
As the game's name suggests, there's a whole little album to go with it. This is the first song on that album, and the whole thing is very nice. Check out the game, the bundle, and the album! Bye!

End Recording,
Ego.
