I'm a sucker for great game music, and while I certainly noticed that the music for XBLA game Braid was lovely while I was playing it, I found the content of the game itself so absorbing that the music gracefully blended into the background. Now that I've fully explored Braid and it's slipped out of my daily consciousness a little, returning to the score on its own was much more impactful. Luckily, it's now for sale, so you can go and download or pick up a hard copy if you like. There are remixes too!
What's cool is that you can set the price you'd like to pay for the album (pricing starts at $5 and runs up to $18). I'm sure the folks that put this together appreciate it no matter what you donate. The music is truly thought provoking and beautiful, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, I can't recommend this enough -- I've been listening to it all morning in a state of semi-bliss!

Sadly I got the PC version and you can freely open up the song files and just play them from there so I don't have much of an incentive to buy, though I'm seriously considering getting one of the albums (not related to braid) that one of the poeple responsible for the soundtrack made.
That being said, I will probably give what I can for this album anyway.
Man. I just sat there for half an hour, listening to it.
