Have a blast…

For a period of months after its release, I confess having been utterly fascinated by Cosmic Smash, an epitome among SEGA arcade titles that fortunately found its way to the home system in a pixel perfect conversion. This craze, if we may call it as such, drove me to the creation of a flash website (during the days when I still ventured myself into that) where I placed a few track excerpts in the Gallery section. Stylish, refreshing, obstinately simple and devoid of any superfluous options or game modes, Cosmic Smash’s patent intensity derives in good measure from its enticing soundtrack.

Thanks to the people at Go-Go-OST, a growing blog specializing in very specific game soundtracks, the original music has been snatched from the game disc into a convenient high-quality MP3 format. It felt exceptionally well to return to the game once more, which is why I kindly ask all visitors to drop by the blog in return for their considerate gesture and explore their unique collection. I personally recommend a very opportune Hideki Naganuma Collection featuring superbly pulsing themes from Jet Set Radio and Sonic Rush.

Thanks to the great Martin Irwin for giving notice.
