Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Oddworld Stranger's Wrath (HD) Edition

Every other Wednesday I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Stranger's Wrath may be set in Oddworld, but its familiar western themes and mashup species of Earthbound fauna provides ample material for an episode of Unoriginal Soundtracks. Listen for country from Grateful Dead side-project New Riders of the Purple Sage, multi-layered a-cappella from Jamie Woon, freak folk from Animal Collective, and more.

Also: see our review of the HD remake for PlayStation Network.
