For those who don’t know, Pawel Blaczczack has created some of the most trademark themes in recent gaming history, while working on titles such as The Witcher, The Call of Juarez series and Dead Island. The accomplished composer has now released an 8-bit soundtrack entitled, DAYS AND DREAMS, which can be bought for only $1 over at Bandcamp, and trust me when I say this, it is an amazing deal from a composer such as Pawel.

Pawel decided to create this soundtrack when he found out that the Commodore “C64”, would be turning 30 years old soon, and this prompted him to pay homage… in his words:

“After many years of composing music for games and film, I spotted a news item that said the Commodore 64 would soon be 30 years old. I couldn’t believe it had been so long! How time flies… and that got me thinking about all the wonderful music from that time, from all the games I loved playing back in the 80s. A few weeks later I was experimenting with some 8-bit sounds, and the album just seemed to evolve from there into a full 15 track monster. I’m really pleased with the way it’s turned out, and most people who hear it have been extremely receptive, telling me I’ve captured the era perfectly, and brought a new dimension to the sound of the time… a really great and humbling tribute.”

So, go ahead and get the soundtrack, as in my opinion, it is one of his best works!
