The gentle use of strings for the intro melody is deeply enticing, but it is the continuation of this melody and the various ways in which it is used in the medley that really make it shine for its deep and dramatic feel. This is followed by a track that became an instant highlight despite being completely unfamiliar: a medley from the 2020 tactical combat game, Iron Danger. The first track is the main theme from Battlelands Royale, which makes for a really strong opening (naturally) with the dynamic build-up and magnificent use of brass, leading to smooth and exciting strings as the song continues. This meant that there were only three soundtracks that I was even familiar with represented here: Angry Birds, Trine, and Nex Machina (all, incidentally, from Ari Pulkkinen). What immediately stood out about this release was, due to the grant funding, the selection of entirely Finnish game songs. If you follow me in any way, shape, or form, you’d know that I keep my eyes open for any and all video game music that gets played in this country, but you’d also know that I’m slightly critical of most game music orchestral productions for sticking to the safe games: Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, and the other popular classics. This independent release will be available for your listening pleasure on March 10th, 2023. It seems the group received an impressive 200,000€ grant from the Alfred Kordelin Foundation to support the creation of “Restart,” an album that showcases a selection of various themes and medleys of music found exclusively in Finnish video games. Lordi's guitarist Amen worked with Ari to create hot guitar riffs for the the Shadowgrounds soundtrack.Īri Pulkkinen has also provided the soundtrack to the downloadable Playstation 3 game "Super Stardust HD" that was release on June 15, 2007.There’s no secret that I’m a geek overlord, so when the GAME MUSIC COLLECTIVE started sharing music videos for video game music, I became an instant fan, especially following their debut live performance in 2017. The Shadowgrounds soundtrack is now one of the few commercial soundtracks published from Finland worldwide. Especially the Shadowgrounds soundtrack got large interest from many sources and finally the soundtrack was released seperately. Shadowgrounds got top reviews from magazines, websites and gamers. Frozenbyte was making their first commercial PC-game named 'Preygrounds' which later on was renamed to Shadowgrounds. Many years later Ari was attached to produce in-house music and audio to a game company named Frozenbyte. Later on he worked on another PC-Game "I've got some balls 2" music but IGSB2 was never released because developing team broke up. Ari made his first big public album to a freeware game named "StarFight VI : Gatekeepers" in year 1999 which was a huge success among many gamers.
