Super Meat Boy
Rockiger Fleischhops
Das Wände-Hochhüpfen und Kettensägen-Ausweichen wurde schon in seiner Webversion von Danny Baranowsky musikalisch ausstaffiert. Der Amerikaner dürfte am ehesten für seine Arbeit an The Bindig of Isaac und Crypt of the NecroDancer bekannt sein, hat allerdings eine sehenswerte Liste an Kompositionen für kleinere Indieprojekte vorzuweisen, die ich allesamt nicht kenne. Für Super Meat Boy komponierte Baranowsky einen 34 Tracks umfassenden OST sowie eine Digital Special Edition mit 46 weiteren Stücken.
Wer mit seinem Stil vertraut ist, wird schnell Elemente aus anderen Scores wie beispielsweise besagtem The Binding of Isaac wiederfinden. Generell geht das Album in Richtung schneller Electrobeats und treibender Synthies, was aufgrund der Spielidee absolut sinnvoll scheint. Die Musik bleibt für meine Ohren hierbei etwas zu gleichförmig und mit Blick auf den Umfang zu highlightarm. Vergleicht man das Gehörte mit Genreverwandten wie eben Celeste oder der fantastischen Komposition für The Messenger, fühlt sich Baranowskys Werk etwas belanglos an.
Rock-/Metal-Einflüsse wie in „Hot Damned (Ch 4 Light World)“, „Meat Golem (Ch 4 Boss)“ oder „End Credits“ bringen zwar etwas Abwechslung in den Electroparty, zum Hit wird das Album trotz des charmanten Retrozaubers („RETRO“-Tracks) für mich allerdings nicht. Auch due zusätzlichen Lieder aus der Digital Special Edition steuern neben ein paar Remixen anderer Künstler*innen kaum Nennenswertes bei. Trotzdem zeigen diese kleinen Ergänzungen, dass es auch seine Vorteile hat, wenn mehrere Künstler*innen an einem Score arbeiten: weniger Kohärenz, dafür etwas mehr Abwechslung. Dass das funktioniert, hat schon das anarchische Castle Crashers gezeigt, das seinen Ursprung ebenfalls auf Newgrounds hat.
War’s das damit? Im Grunde schon, wenn wir den 2015 erschienenen 5th Anniversary Soundtrack außer Acht lassen. Die feiert das fünfjährige Bestehen des Spiels mit 43 weiteren Tracks, die dieses Mal aber nicht von Baranowsky, sondern gleich mehreren Komponist*innen stammen. Dazu zählen das Duo Ridiculon, bestehend aus Matthias Bossi & Jon Evans (The Binding of Isaac), David ‚Scattle‘ Scattliffe (Furi / Hotline Miami: The Takedown) und Laura Shigihara (Plants vs. Zombies).
