great soundtrack.......2005-09-12

If you have played the game and are thinking about getting the soundtrack, do so. It somehow seems more subtle, without the rest of the game sounds. Its great background music and can repeat over and over without getting old. If you like modern takes on Swing/Dixieland Jazz with a New Orleans flavor, this is for you. I'm an Innkeeper, and I'm thinking about playing this CD in the lobby. It really doesn't let on that its a video game soundtrack.

Crescent City awesomeness with a spooky twist!.......2005-08-29

It is just amazing how far video-game music has come, not only since the tweedle-beep days of Ms. Pac-Man, but even since the relatively recent Nintendo 64 games my son spent all that homework time playing. When we upgraded to an X-Box, my brother recommended "Voodoo Vince" to us, and it was one of the first games we bought. It truly is an amazing game, and I recommend it, but that's for another review.

One thing I was particularly amazed with was how evocative -- and swingin'! -- the music was. I remarked to my brother that I wished there was some way I could extract the music tracks and listen to them. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found out that this soundtrack CD was available!

It is, no exaggeration, simply amazing. Composed by the inimitable Steve Kirk (who shows astonishing range playing guitar on all of these very different tracks), the songs on this CD span the spectrum of musical style while remaining relevant to the game's twisted take on the Crescent City and its environs. From the spooky lounge-lizard swing of "Son of Trophy Room" and the cajun-fried, rollicking "Fanboat Race" to "Crypt City" with its Ellington-tinged take on New Orleans funeral-march music and the Django Reinhardt-inspired "Main Street," the whole disc swings it hard Creole style. Don't miss the last track, "Vince Theme," with its kooky swing lyrics!

Decent... at best........2005-01-12

Well too letters O K. That describes this Cd. If you want great top notch music go get final fantasy, kingdom hearts, or some zelda cd's. If you like jazz though this is your cd.

This music is class!.......2004-09-20

I wrote a review for Voodoo Vince(the game), and I forgot to mention how great the music is! Well, now you can listen to the music without the game's sound effects!
I love the "Zombie Guidance Councelor", along with the "On Fire" one. Heck, they're all good, and they're completly original! They also sound really jazzy. :) There are some that go with the Bayou part of the game, and it really fits well.
Steve Kirk has done some great music for the game. If you look at the case, he probably does about 10 or so instruments.
Definetly worth getting.
