The darker/deeper side of the scene might be suffering a bit this year, but full credit to the artists who are still pushing the sound; there have been some amazing tracks in the last couple of months. The combination of All of Us and Aurora is a perfect example of where I think freeform should be going – dark and nasty one moment, beautiful and melancholy the next. High fives all round to Epyx & Cyrez, Heathen and Aryx.
That actually links in nicely with this month’s random video, as the other day I finished playing through LIMBO (an Xbox Live-only game), and it absolutely blew me away. This trailer hardly does it justice – if you haven’t come across it before, it’s an incredibly beautiful/disturbing/emotional experience, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. High fives for Playdead studios too, then.

If you like the games like that one try Coma: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/541124 😉
Any idea when/how ‘Epyx & Cyrez meets Heathen – All of Us’ will be available?? 🙁

Don’t mention it, you’ve come up with a special tune there 🙂
I haven’t had much time to try Coma but it looks really nice! Great music..

Not too sure – the version I used wasn’t a 100% finished master, so we might have to wait a bit longer yet..
