World of Goo features some of the most haunting, graceful, and downright charming background music. And now, it's all available as a free download from creator Kyle Gabler's website (http://kylegabler.com/WorldOfGooSoundtrack/).

The majority of the instruments you'll hear are computer instruments, with a few live performances on top to add a bit of warmth. For the older music, I used one of those Sound Blaster cards that let you load samples into memory. More recently, I've been using the freeware sfz soundfont sampler. I have an m-audio keystation 49e midi keyboard for picking out melodies. Influences include Danny Elfman, Vangelis, Bernard Herrmann, Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, and all the big movie guys. I grew up listening to them, and they remain a big influence in everything I write.

I am absolutely ashamed as a gamer to admit that I haven't played World of Goo yet, apart from the demo.

I'm in the same boat, but I can't stop listening to this soundtrack. It's actually making me curious to play since I'd like to see how the music is used in-game.

The soundtrack really fits in well with the gameplay. I love atmospheric soundtracks.
