ST2 BONUS - Black & White (w/Russell Shaw)
Episode 43, Nov 08, 2019, 07:50 PM
This BONUS episode of ST2 is actually the second part of a Lionhead Studios double bill, with the first focusing on Fable (available here).
After Peter Molyneux left Bullfrog Productions in 1997, he soon started his new venture - Lionhead Studios. Though they were unfortunately ill-fated with money across their run, they were nonetheless responsible for a number of interesting and imaginative games. Their first, Black & White, was a innovative take on the God genre, featuring music from Bullfrog's own Russell Shaw.
The soundtrack itself is as forward-thinking as it is mercilessly ambient. Though mostly resting on a variety of sparse backing tracks, it also makes clever use of many smaller elements, and aspects that change depending on your playstyle. Throughout this BONUS episode, Russell outlines some of the thought processes behind Black & White, which occupies an interesting space in both his career and VGM in general.
