Look, no one really knows whatâs going on with this whole Notch-Tim-Schafer-Psychonauts 2 thing. But that doesnât mean we canât sit back and listen to what might be my single favorite piece of music from the original Psychonauts!
The Psychonauts soundtrack was composed by Double Fine mainstay-maestro Peter McConnell. While no soundtrack may ever replace McConnellâs own Grim Fandango in my heart, this one perhaps demonstrates his depth to an even greater degree.

It crept up on me, the slowly building horns, the choir, that noble melody⊠and the single chord change that lifts things ever so slightly⊠yeah.
It felt like a good first âListen Hereâ for Kotaku Melodic. If ever you need to get in the mood to mete out some justice, this piece is a good place to start.
