one of the finest scores in recent years, from geniuses at Rare finally got an official release.
it comes highly recommended, very few soundtracks these days manage to become an instant classics - this is one of them.
I just hope we got two or three disc set instead, but I'm glad we're getting it at all.
if you have played Nuts & Bolts you most likely remember soundtrack well.
and here's the direct link:

and here's direct shot of Dave Clynick along with Robin Beanland exposing soundtrack in all its glory:

I'm there. Rare's games don't usually get soundtrack releases except for recent games. sad

Take a look at the Sumthing Else website - looks like it's only one disc.  That said, the game has AWESOME music, and this is one of the first game music CD releases I've been totally pumped about in a while.

Random thought: I'm surprised at just how much I've loved the Banjo scores.  I never played the series back on the N64, so my first exposure to them has been playing through all the games on the 360.  I never really liked the Donkey Kong 64 OST all that much (aside from a few tracks), so I kind of dismissed Kirkhope because of it.  Glad that I tried these games now, though, because I quite like his scores for them.

you bet, Banjo games have amazing scores, very unique, easily recognizable and just fun to listen to.
Banjo Nuts & Bolts is a worthy successor to the first two, score is absolutely beautiful and brings variety of styles to the table.

Yeah, the Donkey Kong 64 soundtrack was honestly horrible overall. His scores for Banjo Kazooie/Tooie/Nuts and Bolts are overall pretty good. They do tend to sound very "gamey" which of course will appeal to some but not all.

I probably will pick this up. And it's a domestic release, which is even better.
