Here's the LittleBigPlanet soundtrack

Saturday, December 13, 2008 » gaming link music

So LittleBigPlanet has been out for a while now and while everyone's gushing over the robust level creation tools and the amazing community levels (and associated controversy), they're overlooking one of the other amazing aspects: the soundtrack! There's no official soundtrack CD out (yet?), so, similar to what I did with Braid, I've collected links where you can download many of the songs from. They're all Amazon MP3s when possible, since that's my preferred method of downloading singles. For a couple that Amazon didn't have, I grabbed the iTunes link instead. A lot of the Daniel Pemberton songs are only available on iTunes at the moment, as part of his album LittleBigMusic. And finally, there are a few tracks that just weren't available at either place (including all the interactive tracks composed just for the game). Hopefully the rest will turn up later on.

A few notes on the Go! Team's "Get It Together": This is the song that was in a bunch of the early LBP trailers and what many probably consider to be the LBP main theme. The version of it on Amazon is part of an EP and is a different recording than the one in the game. The mix is a little harsh and I recommend skipping it in favor of the iTunes version (which appears in the game and is from the album Thunder, Lightning, Strike), but if you really like the song it might be worth it to check out the other version.

Finally, if you're a fan of Kinky, I recommend checking out their albums Kinky and Atlas.

I tried to include the first level the song appears, when available. Enjoy!
