Why release this soundtrack?  Simple: 1) Because it’s awesome. Simon Viklund has created a soundtrack that perfectly mixes the infectious melodies you had burned into your brain by the original game with new instrumentation and beats. The effect is a fresh sound that feels brand new and immediately familiar at the same time–really outstanding and a perfect modernized encapsulation of some deep love for the NES. 2) Because Ben Judd loves his fellow Bionic Commando nerds. That’s YOU. Over at BC HQ, he explains that this will probably be losing us some money , but he believes in the music so strongly he wanted it to be out there as a proper album.

Consider the album the Bionic Commando team’s attempt to hug the internet. Become a believer and check it out at Sumthing Digital , or at iTunes .

Also check it out because if this attempt to hug the internet doesn’t pan out, Ben Judd may attempt to hug you each individually. This is to be avoided at all costs, so buying the soundtrack is a double-bargain. Do it now!
