Imo the best soundtrack this generation. Also perfectly blends when you actually play the game.

 

[SuikerBrood]

[tapedeck]

Yep well deserved, pretty much everything he composes is gold.

Such a amazing song.

Very well deserved. Up there with Nier Automata and Persona 5 for best OST of the generation.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

[CountAntonio]

Deserved. The music in that game is phenomenal and a huge part of the adventure.

First time really hearing it like this. That is a amazing song. Like LOTR, with abit of Zelda and Fable.
Uhh cant Rare source him out to Playground? Thanks. :P

That's the song that plays when you complete the last Tall Tale. It's a beautiful moment.

Wow I didn't realize he was still at Rare! I believe he created a lot of the music for Killer Instinct back in the day. I want to say the KI theme was created by him but featured Grant Kirkhope on electric guitar.

KI is mostly Beanland.

 

[Bear and bird]

Really glad that Beanland got to compose for an adventure game again. It's been far too long. Even better to see him get award for it! Sea of Thieves' soundtrack is great. :)

He's mostly known for KI, Jet Force Gemini, Conker's Bad Fur Day and, of course, Sea of Thieves. Also made contributions to DKC1, Goldeneye, Nuts & Bolts, Fable Heroes among others.

Wouldn't be the first time he worked on a Fable game! Although Fable Heroes' soundtrack was quite a bit more "Rare-like" than the main trilogy.

Just beautiful. It actually reminds me of some of the songs from the soundtrack for Project Dream. I wonder if he was inspired by it?

 

[B.C.]

Congrats, Beano!

 

[AtomicShroom]

Robin Beanland is amazing! Second only to David Wise. Killer Instinct, Jet Force Gemini, Conker, and now this. Pure bliss!

 

[Deleted member 6235]

100% deserved!

 

[StreamedHams]

Beanland is a sweet last name.
You can tell he owns it by his twitter handle.

On topic, I love it when video game OSTs get prestigious awards that further legitimize the hobby.

It truly is art!

 

[TheSix]

Love Robin! I was at Rare in April and he showed us some of the instruments he used for the music!

 

[The Traveller]

I should really try this game after the anniversary update.

 

[Oscillator]

I wonder if the award jury was familiar with his...past work. ;)

(NSFW, obviously.)
