Back in the days of Nintendo 64 and Gogurt, when most video games did not ever release soundtracks, there were some games with really awesome music. Perfect Dark had several levels I personally replayed over and over purely because of how bad ass I felt working my way through the game to the techno beats it blared in my ears.
Now the game, along with both Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie, has its soundtrack available for purchase for all of us wanting to either relive those moments of childish wonder or to just bob our heads along to some really nice beats for a while.
Better yet, all three soundtracks are available online at Bandcamp for whatever price you want. They have been posted by the original composer, Grant Kirkhope, so try not to skimp. The money is going straight to the source. I still hear music that reminds me of Perfect Dark, so picking up the soundtrack (the Perfect Dark track has 36 individual pieces) was definitely worth a few bucks.
Mr. Kirkhope? Thank you for crafting such enduring music and helping shape some of the best gaming experiences I ever had.
