Andrés Segovia Archive: Henri Martelli

Particular parts from the game’s…
The Daily Album Reviews The Banner Saga Soundtrack
Sean Elliot, of The Daily Album has a thorough review for Austin Wintory’s The Banner Saga score: Wintory’s The Banner Saga is a wonderful experience on its own.

Wintory runs the emotional gamut here and even as the pace slows,…
