"Nascence" from Journey on Playstation 3 (2012)
This deliciously moody track is the opening to the game Journey, originally for PS3. This song serves as something of a Leitmotif in the soundtrack, and I think it stands on its own even at under 2 minutes. The strings are sweet and melancholy, and they really resonate for me.
I haven't played Journey since the first time, three or so years ago. It was a great experience, and the music is very important to the game. Clearly, I'm not the only one who thinks so-- Sony released the soundtrack on vinyl. This is the first time I've heard of a vinyl record for a game soundtrack. I plan to do a game scores post on Journey at some point, and will be looking into more music from Austin Wintory. And if I ever get a PS3, Journey will be the first game I buy.

So, now that you have a PS3, have you bought Journey yet?
