Killer Instinct Composer Putting Together New Killer Cuts Compilation
When Killer Instinct released for Super Nintendo in 1995, it came packaged with a soundtrack CD called Killer Cuts. Mick Gordon, composer on the recent Killer Instinct, is putting together a new Killer Cuts compilation for the Xbox One game.

Late last month, Gordon tweeted his intention to put together a new Killer Cuts compilation, asking for feedback from fans. Gordon didn't offer many additional details, but he did say it should be available sometime this month during a livestream.
Along with a new Killer Cuts soundtrack, Killer Instinct fans will also receive Fulgore this month.

Our Take
Some people don't really get into video game soundtracks outside of their context within the video games they were created for. Personally, there are a lot of soundtracks I appreciate even when not playing the game. I am listening to the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze soundtrack as I write this (thanks YouTube channel piplupwater!), so I find this pretty exciting.
