The best classic game music and more
I'm hardly the biggest chiptune fan, but midway through the first track I had a goofy grin on my face, ready to buy the whole thing. And again for several other tracks afterward. Only thing that has stopped me is I want one more listen to decide how much to pay.
This soundtrack rules. I'm only a few levels into the game but Strike the Earth! (Plains of Passage) is my favorite track so far. It's got such an upbeat NES Mega Man feel to it.
Oh and speaking of NES, Jake also released a true NES soundtrack for Shovel Knight.. as an actual NSF file! 
God bless virt. Releasing a frickin' NSF ... so legit!
Strike the Earth!, In the Halls of the Usurper, and The Fateful Return.
virt, you magnificent bastard, you.
Only reason I haven't lapped this up yet is I'm waiting for a chance to run through the game and hear everything in context.
La Danse Macabre is the standout track for me. Another impressive showing from Virt.
I'd actually give it a listen if it weren't in mono.
But it is, so fail.

Unless my ears are totally going crazy, I'm pretty sure this is stereo.
Must be my ears then.
Life hates me.
