A full decade after their original N64 outing, the people at Rare finally listen to the fans and bring back the Bear 'n' Bird duo for a nostalgic return on the Xbox 360. And while the game itself got mixed reviews for several reasons, one thing people couldn't deny was the immense quality of the game's soundtrack.

Rare's world reknown composer Grant Kirkhope returns to Spiral Mountain with fellow composers Robin Beanland and Dave Clynick, and does for Nuts & Bolts what Galaxy did for Mario. No longer are the tones of a MIDI track audable [well, other than Klungo's mini game], a full orchestra and choir are now present bringing the tones of Mumbo's Mountain and the Jiggosseum to life.

And for those who are familiar with the Banjo universe, not only are you treat to small snippets of old Banjo goodness such as Mad Monster Mansion [used as the bassline of the 'Terrarium of Terror'] and Treasure Trove Cove whilst wandering around 'Nutty Acres', but in 'Banjoland' you are welcomed with a quite amazing 6+ minute medley of everything Banjo and/or Kazooie.

Overall this one of my two favourite soundtracks in gaming history [possibly just pipped by the breath taking efforts in Super Mario Galaxy], and will be in my collection as soon as it arrives in the post. Here's to more Banjo Kazooie, and hopefully more gob-smacking-grunty-slapping music from the genii over at the former Ninty loving place known as Rare.

Duh Huh!!!

Possibly my favorite video game soundtrack! 21 Mar 2011
By K. Frisch - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
By and large, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts was a fairly mediocre game, but one aspect of it was so good that it surpassed the original games in quality: the soundtrack. Largely composed by series veteran Grant Kirkhope, as well as a number of equally excellent contributions from Robin Beanland and Dave Clynick, this soundtrack offers a good number of fun orchestrated tracks that are great to listen to regardless of whether you've played the game or not.

In terms of completeness, this soundtrack is quite good compared to many video game sountracks. The main themes and two challenge variants of each level are included. In addition, two versions of the Showdown Town theme are included, as well as a number of other challenge themes, such as the Jinjo challenge song. This makes up the bulk of the music commonly heard in the game, so chances are your favorite track is present in some form.

A few noteworthy tracks are absent, but honestly, it's hard to complain. The only thing I would have liked to see included is the Spiral Mountain theme, which also plays on the title screen. Curiously, though, the Spiral Mountain challenge theme is included, even though it is not heard in the game itself, which is a cool inclusion. Having the opening narration included in the first track is also a nice touch, as it provides a bit of context for listeners, even if they haven't played Nuts & Bolts.

The standout tracks, in my opinion, are the Showdown Town theme (represented with "Showdown Town Square" and "Cruising Showdown Town") and the first Jiggoseum challenge theme, "Jiggoseum Japes." In particular, "Cruising Showdown Town," which is heard while exploring the hub world at night, is positively phenomenal, and I'm so pleased it's included here. The many other tracks included are diverse in style and tone, and the majority include bits and pieces of themes from the previous games, a nice nod to longtime fans.

Overall, this is a great soundtrack for Banjo fans, and even just people who enjoy fun upbeat orchestra music. The style is reminiscent of the previous Banjo games, but also has the sound of a score for an animated film or a Looney Tunes cartoon. While some tracks are more fun to listen to than others, there's not a single truly bad track on this album, so I give it my highest recommendation!

Rareware's music was made for orchestra 26 Oct 2010
By MeleKalikimaka - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD
Anyone who's played Rare's games knows they have some great composers, and thanks to technology, they're no longer restricted by whatever samples a games system can produce to emulate an orchestra.

A lot of the soundtrack is written by Robin Beanland, who was involved with the original Donkey Kong Country and the Conker games, with contributions from the composer of the N64 Banjo games, Grant Kirkhope. There's plenty of references to the older games in the soundtrack too--just wait for them to pop up in the middle of a track.

My only regret is the music that's missing, like the newly orchestrated version of "Mumbo's Mountain" or some of the cutscenes. It does include the level intros by David Clynick, though, which parody popular '70s/'80s TV shows (and in some cases are more enjoyable than the originals!).

Despite the omissions, it's a worthwhile buy, and I'm glad to see effort like this being put towards a video game.
