Chances are if you played the wonderful Machinarium, you fell in love with the amazing soundtrack by Tomas Dvorak. If you bought the game directly from Amanita you’ll have got the soundtrack with it. If not, you can buy it from here. But if you did, you might have noticed a couple of favourite tracks from the game weren’t on it. The dancier stuff (apart from the breathtakingly beautiful By The Wall), including the all-important song the robot band plays, and the dubstep the pipe wrench listens to, for instance. Now you can get those five as well, along with EP artwork, for free from Amanita. And if you haven’t played the game at all, good grief, what’s wrong with you? You can get it from here for $20. Check out our review, and indeed those of a dozen others, if you need convincing.
Met Jakub Dvorsky and Tomas Dvorak the other day. I was star struck, tried to have a convosation about Machinarium with him but im pretty sure I just came over as an adorning fan…

What, like a wall-flower kind of thing?

:D is all I have to say.

Does anyone have a youtube video of the wrench listening to dubstep?

Here (roll over to 2:55).
When I first heard it, I knew I was in love with Machinarium.

Thanks for reminding me I needed to buy this game…paypal money sent, link received.

Dubstep track now being worked into my next mix for this weekends party. Should have all the spotters scratching their heads as I doubt many of them will have heard this particular track.
report
That By the Wall track sounds like something straight out of Blade Runner. Lovely.

PC Zone had a moment of suckage in their latest issue – they blast Machinarium (by blast, I mean 72%) for being obtuse, completely missing a mention of the hint system. Silly silly print reviewers.
report
To those who haven’t: buy it, buy it, buy it – it’s absolutely wonderful.

This is the same magazine that gave Company of Heroes 73%, they have no idea what they’re doing.

Finally the band’s song, perfect! What a wonderful way to celebrate a wonderful game (with some minor issues).

Aww, my work has blocked that link. Ne’rmind, I’ll gettit tonight and put it on in t’car tomorrow morning.

By the Wall is the best. Put it on repeat and just leave it on forever and ever.
report
Yes! just listening to By The Wall, sooo dreamy.
report
I’m a fan of Mr. Handagote on the original CD. What an astonishingly complex, melodic piece of synthesised music.
report
Yes, Mr. Handagote and The Castle are definite highlights. Downright iconic.
Fans of By the Wall should look into the album Mi Media Naranja by Labradford, I think.
report
Machinarium is the Arcade Fire of the indie games: if you doubt its quality, then you are taking as an insensitive person. If you just doubt, I say.
report
I’m in full agreement with those who love ‘By the Wall’. Dvorak’s music reminds me very much of Bonobo (sorry, that’s a pretty rough recording). The sort of music you can enjoy for hours on end.
