The main theme of the first one is one of my favorites tunes ever.

Not the music, but that artwork from the thumbnail nearly sold me on a Vita. It's always been so cool.
Absolutely! The OSTs for these games are beautiful.
Old Town is by far my favorite track of all of this generation:
It's just so uplifting and peaceful. I would fly around just to hear it.
Lei Havina is up there too.

The music is superb. I can't wait to play Gravity Rush 2, hopefully later this year.
It feels just as cozy as the game itself.

And G Gundam.
And also Xardion on the SNES.
But yes, it's criminally underrated because it adds such a great feel to everything.
I was lukewarm on Gravity Rush but enjoyed it's style and LOVED that song. Made the whole thing worth it in the end.
sooo good. I'm still torn if this or OG Discovery of Gravitation is my favorite track from the series
Both games have AMAZING soundtracks, although the first one's a little superior imo. But yeah, if there's one thing you don't forget after playing Gravity Rush, it's the music. Kouhei Tanaka is a virtuoso.
I wish we could get a third game just for the new batch of wonderful music alone.

I wouldn't mind getting a new Siren, but man, I really want more colorful, positive stuff with beautiful art styles.
The mix of sweeping orchestration, with big band anime superhero themes, and jazzy subdued mood setting tracks gives the game such a unique flair. Add the art design on top of that and it all comes together to make this weird 1930s alternate dimension "Hollywood, France" vibe that's just unlike anything else in games. It really commits to the Euro comic book tone in a way that makes something as widespread as the Gravity Rush 1 cover key art remain evocative to this day.
Fun fact: the composer, Kohei Tanaka, is the same as Alundra's, and he's a very prolific composer outside of games (mostly anime).
I actually recognized his style by playing the game somehow, even though Alundra's OST is very different, I forget which song exactly, but one song had one tiny bit that really reminded me of Alundra, so while I was playing I asked my SO to look up the composer and see if it wasn't the Alundra guy by any chance. He was skeptical, but then went "WTF it's him, how the hell did you know" lol

His work on Resonance of Fate is also fantastic. He's also composing the upcoming Sakura Taisen game (since that's actually the series he started on). His music is so multilayered and relaxing.
Yeah nakinyko's mash-ups are great, although this one is my favourite, even if it is crushingly brief...
Aye, 2's rendition is a bit overworked imo, the simplicity of the original is dazing.
You're a beast, OP! First song I think of when GR pops in my head is Lei Havina and that's the very first track you link! You know exactly what you're doing lol.
Heck yeah, Tanaka's OSTs are always stellar. His work on One Piece and Resonance of fate are amongst my favorites in anime/video games. Can't wait to hear what he composes for the next Sakura Wars.
I loved it. First time you go into the red light district or the city is so good.
Now I am thinking of playing the games again and being sad we might never get a sequel...
