Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[The Raining Brains]

Limbo is a relevant example here. What is interesting is that Limbo's soundtrack was only released as a separate album because fans demanded it. So although the music obviously worked very well in context, it clearly proved to be just as effective for separate listening. You shouldn't need context to assess quality. Music speaks for itself.

Just like I wouldn't put most of Silent Hill's OST on an mp3 player. It's fucking nerve wracking stuff, but it serves its purpose in the game well.

That's just your taste though. I actually have quite a few Silent Hill tracks on my iPod.
