The lights are on
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 TakeSome 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.

Hmm, to be honest, I just clicked on this article because of how out of place the Nintendo Logo looked on the shield of a Skeleton warrior. I wonder where else it has popped up...
Mick Gordon knocked it out of the park with this soundtrack!! Instabuy
The OG Killer Instinct had one of the best soundtracks in any game ever, and this game somehow managed to match if not exceed the great quality of its predecessor. I will definitely buy this when it comes out.
Slightly embarassed to say that (along side the Mortal Kombat soundtrack) this was one of my most listened to CDs in middle school. While playing basketball with one of those fake-hang on your door-hoops.
The original Killer Cuts was the first CD I ever owned. I still have it.
To illustrate my improved musical tastes, the most recent CD's I purchased were Paradise Lost, Carcass, and Motorhead.
Because the newest Carcass (Surgical Steel) is freakin' amazing.
This soundtrack needs Periphery. Bad. I would pay for the whole CD to hear them do the title song.
