Videogame Music Secretly Wins First Grammy

[Astalano]

More proof that PC gaming is superior!

(Just kidding)

But seriously, congratulations on the award.

lol
if they'd include more video game music in the grammys they'd pull off at least one of the shiny things every year

that awe inspiring video only reminded me how desperately civ v needed cut scenes

 

[Mechsoap]

Could this be the age of the Grammy winning video game music? Properly not.

I remember first playing Civ IV, I immediately stopped at the menu and listened to this beautiful piece of music.

It reminds me that Civilization isn't all about war.

 

[JakobBloch]

This was well deserved. I join my voice to those others that had a tendency to pause at the menu screen.

Edit: Just wanted to mention Zak Belicas "What's the World come to." Theme of Sin Emergence: Episodes (that sadly got cancelled after the first episode.

First Trent Reznor wins a Golden Globe (and possibly on track to win an Oscar) and now video game music wins a Grammy.

My 19-year-old self still can't believe it.

I sucked ass at civilization four, but I loved this song.

 

[Supp]

I actually played Vanilla CivIV over BTS for the sole reason of getting to hear this song.

Too bad that it couldn't win as video game music :/

 

[duchaked]

didn't play the game/series, but that trailer is really something amazing :0

 

[ShenCS]

Pretty sure this is old news and has been posted before.

 

[Sonicron]

Hm. Never played a Civilization game before, but this video/song makes me want to remedy that. Is it worth it?

In any case, that song deserves the award it got. A beautiful piece of music.

Let's hope this creates enough waves that the Grammy Awards will actually start to have an official video game slot. It would be awesome to hear what game got the honor of having its soundtrack win a Grammy this year.

Excellent news, was only listening to this a couple of days ago. Now all we need to do is get Silent Hill 2's music by Akira Yamaoka to win a grammy... somehow...
