About This Content

This is the full musical score to SpaceVenture, the comedy space-adventure from the Guys From Andromeda — the original creators of Space Quest.

Across 44 tracks, the soundtrack follows Ace's misadventures from a confident opening fanfare (that assumes competence not yet demonstrated) through malfunctioning jukeboxes, galactic fast food, junkyard rescues, and the occasional avoidable death. The score swings from earnest orchestral heroism to lounge jazz, chiptune, interstellar blues, and classical parodies that show up exactly when you least expect them.

Composed, arranged, orchestrated, and performed by Ken Allen, and produced and mastered by Jon Paul Sapsford, the album collects the complete in-game score plus a generous stack of bonus and previously unused cues; early character themes that didn't make the cut, a full Space Quest V suite presented here for the first time, and a few experiments best described as "gravitas optional."

INCLUDES:

• All 36 tracks of the complete in-game score

• 8 bonus and unused cues, including early theme drafts and the Space Quest V Suite

• Classical send-ups (Blue Danube, Also Sprach Zarathustra) rendered with varying degrees of respect

• Approximately 82 minutes of music

Whether you played the game or just want an hour-plus of genre-hopping sci-fi comedy scoring, walkin' around to this is a perfectly valid life philosophy.
