#MIRRORS EDGE SOUNDTRACK FULL#
This is another thing that I listen to while coding or writing, because it just oozes inspiration! Some of my favorites from the soundtrack are “Pirandello Kruger,” “Jacknife” and “Ropeburn.” If you want to listen to the full thing, you can find a playlist for it here. The result is an 11 track album with each song around or upwards of 6 minutes, filled with different moods.īut I forgive it– the album is too cool for one little gripe to ruin. The most glaring mistake of the soundtrack is that it does not separate the individual phases into different songs, forcing you to skip around if there’s a specific one you want to listen to.

Birgersson worked closely with the team and analyzed scripts and characters to get each song just perfect for what it was, and his effort shows. I think you get the idea– when you understand this, the structure of individual songs makes more sense.Įvery track uses similar instruments, but manages to create unique moods and tones between each. “Pirandello Kruger” starts out with an ambient theme, then its puzzle theme, then its ridiculously intense combat theme. For example, “Boat” starts out almost instantly with its cool sneaky chase theme, changes to puzzle, then launches into combat. There’s phases for ambiance, chases, fights and puzzles, each of them placed differently in each song. Like all tracks, that one has a few phases which are used at different times throughout the level. It has such a nice melancholy and night time tone, and the gently detuned leading synths are so cool. Every song on this soundtrack is filled with surreal sounding synths and other sorts of experimental synths, with the exception of the lyrical credits song, “Still Alive.” I think one of the best examples is “The Shard,” shown at the top of the post. Solar Fields makes a weird kind of electronic music– but don’t worry, it’s the cool kind of weird.

Nearly all of his work that I found was ambient music, nothing like anything but the more ambient and relaxing parts from the soundtrack. What I found was that the active and sometimes intense soundtrack of “Mirror’s Edge” is a far cry from what Magnus Birgersson, the man behind the band, usually creates. When I initially got the soundtrack, I was so impressed that I went to see what else that Solar Fields had worked on. The soundtrack, scored by the one-man-band Solar Fields, is just as laden with surreal and futuristic sounds. The game’s art style is realistic but almost surrealistically colorful, creating a lasting impression with its clean and troubled utopia. “Mirror’s Edge” is a super cool first person action and platforming game, published by Electronic Arts.
