[@garoad]

Hey everyone, Just wanted to drop by and say thank you for all the wonderful comments. So glad to hear you guys are enjoying this. Reading all of the positive feedback keeps me motivated and encouraged to push myself and make every composition the best I possibly can. Thank you for that!

[@9773an]

Michael Kelly no thank you for uploading this I really appreciate it. your doing great work.

[@Jukantos]

You did an amazing job and helped create the perfect atmossphere for my personal game of the year. Not many games manage to really touch me emotionally, but i have no trouble admitting i cried when it was over, because it was over and i wanted more. Thank you for your beautifull work of art. I wish you a great christmas time. Be proud of your work and never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Often there are great games with great music and you love the music even after playing the game. Every so often, there's music that's so good, that if you don't own the game, it makes you buy it. This is the case for VA-11 HALL-A

Best OST ever

[@HorseheadNebula85]

I first discovered this OST right after my daughter was born in 2018. I would wake up late with my wife and hang out with her while she fed our little girl. I'd listen to this music and think about how nervous I was to be a good dad. But I also felt hopeful and excited. She's 4 years old now, and I still put this on for her. She likes to dance to the music, and it makes me smile.

[@luigiiodice3517]

Love it all as usual! Synthestitch is one of my favorites, just to name one. Love the leitmotif callbacks to the first game's OST, as well. (Especially since I practically ground that record into dust listening to it so much...) It's been an absolute pleasure seeing you get more and more projects as time goes on, and improving upon your skills each time. I hope you're even a fraction as proud of yourself as we are of you. Keep up the excellent work!

[@geld1620]

15:49 I was on a road trip and our car caught fire, so we had to stop at a car dealership a hundred miles from home to get a drive home. It took hours between us getting there and getting out, and in that time, we spent a lot just sitting in our broken car. In there, I had this in my recommendations and decided to check it out. When I heard this song, I knew I had to try the game, and I've been a big appreciator of it ever since. This was almost a year ago. Va-11 hall-a has been a great experience and I thank this upload for introducing me to it. Also song bops.

Just awesome. Great job on this album.

[@AlphaOrchestra]

Music is mostly appreciated in accompanying, or being accompanied by another art like in a Music video and here this might be the other way round and appreciated as a game accompanying music. Having listened to this OST, the effusie impulses of your creativity, where almost every entry has the feature of a gem found in one ost, the clarity of their appearance in arrangement and in the mix likewise, as well as the length to which they amount, while not knowing much about the game, I am convinced that it makes the game better than it already might be. The first round was already content of this, taking off, whereas the second one arrived at a by-gone VGM, even Anime era, or rather kind of musical craft, in which it might take its place surrounded by variously precious titels, but might as well keep us company in the present, reanimate and resume to unearth the beauty hinted there. Really glad after all the time of knowing about you to see you thrive! Anyway, congratulations and cheers!

[@garoad]

+AlphaOrchestra Thank you so much, AO! :)

[@Kniroid]

+AlphaOrchestra Have you ever heard of the game "Sword and Sworcery"? I'd say it also exemplifies the concept of a game built around the music.

[@AlphaOrchestra]

+Kniroid This is the first time, but I find these approaches interessting. "Audiosurf" would be another example.
