Composer(s): Carpenter Brut, M|O|O|N and Scattle The soundtrack to Hotline Miami offers an almost immediate gratification with its irrepressible synthesised instrumentation and hypnotic beats comparable to the tone of the game itself. Its fast-paced and fierce, darkly pulsating like the seediest of 80s nightclubs as seen through the eyes of an amoral, coked-up psychopath. But, thats not to say that the soundtrack is indistinguishable or lacking in variation. Unlike most soundtracks, Hotline Miami benefits from the collaboration of multiple musicians, including M|O|O|N whose notable contributions Hydrogen, Paris and Crystals make up some of the more exceptional moments on this track list, merging minimalist electronics with unsettling dance music.The soundtrack conveys the tone of the game perfectlywhich is why it might be difficult for some players to disassociate the two. However, I think this is a rare example of a soundtrack that achieves the best of both worlds, complementing the genuinely visceral and unrelenting visuals of Hotline Miami, and standing up on its own as a inimitable piece of dark and disturbing 80s nostalgia.
