They’re not exactly outside the video game industry because they’ve got a couple of songs (and a couple more if you count when they’re backing up Charles Bradley) on the Daptone radio station in Sleeping Dogs, but Menahan Street Band could probably soundtrack a pretty mean spaghetti western game. https://youtu.be/qJ-lpK_-D_o

i’d love a collaboration between house artists and a quick-movement, highly structural shooter like DOOM or SUPERHOT or PORTAL. playing SUPERHOT with my own house or trance soundtrack behind it always feels amazing

I really liked when their song on Sleeping Dogs would pop up, yeah. I would also really like Hypnotic Brass Ensemble to do a game OST.
Maybe not so much of a guest position, but a Joe Hisaishi/Fumito Ueda collab would be a dream come true
Reichi Nakaido, who did the music for Serial Experiments Lain, because he taught me that cyberpunk music doesn’t have to be Vangelis saxophones or Carpenter Brut synth.
I think I’d want him to score some kind of sci-fi adventure game.
(yes I know there’s a Lain PS1 game)
EDIT: Kind of off topic, but does anyone know if Nujabes did any game music before he passed away? Because man, that’d be a dream come true.

Oh shit, the Lain music is really good and different. I like the Lain sound design even more. Dunno if he also did that.
No, Nujabes never did an OST for a game except for the Samurai Champloo track “Battlecry” being present and licensed for the Samurai Champloo video game on PS2. I wonder how it would be to license a Nujabes track for a game; I don’t know who took over Hydeout Recordings after he passed, but it is still active. Check out his protege nitsua.

whenever i play “podcast games” like Diablo 3 or some MMO, if it’s fantasy-based then i almost always have Earth playing in the background. it’s too perfect for all kinds of wooded settings and i’ve even used it as soundtrack in DnD campaigns

i know everyone loves the ost but i played DOOM (2016) listening to JLin on headphones and would love nothing more than for her to get tapped for the sequel

I would love any game with an Italo soundtrack but I don’t know exactly what that actual game would be

The Sci Fi prog. thrash band Vektor released one of the greatest metal records of the 21st century last year named Terminal Redux. It was a concept record telling the story of an astronaut discovering the secret of eternal life, going insane and seeking to destroy the galaxy, only to having an existential epiphany in the end and realizing that taking his own life is the only way to stop the cycle of pain and torment permeating existence.
I would really like them to do the soundtrack to some sort of dark sci-fi game.

Probably my favorite artist that nobody seems to know is Whitetail and has worked on some small games but I’d love to see them be able to work on something with a bigger budget. A character action game (like Nier or El Shadai), scifi racing game (like Wipeout) or a platformer (2D or 3D). Honestly though there is basically no game idea that I wouldn’t be glad to see them work on. I really think they have a real good grasp of what kind of music fits for games but also likes to experiment with music genres. Also I just think their music is very good & unique.
Been listening to this probably three times a week for the past year.

Scott Hansen/Tycho and Double Fine. Headlander or even Psychonauts could use some really expeditionary shit like the content from Dive/Awak.
Run the Jewels and Gears of War already happened so I’m set for life on that. Were Sunset Overdrive to get a sequel, I really want tracks from Wavves, Cloud Nothings, Surf Curse, Together Pangea etc etc etc
