Halo Spartan Assault's "Bridge Too Far" (Tom Salta)

"Man, I don't know where to start. Homage? Nostalgia wanking? Either of the two works, really really well. The game itself was a shrug-worthy attempt at twin-stick shooting, but damn did Salta do his best to emulate Halo's iconic sound; Choir ambience, soft piano taps, and rhythmic, marching percussion. Those signifying tropes known by Martin O'Donnell's impact on Halo makes its presence felt here. It's pity though, how Spartan Assault will be pigeon-holed down the road in the Haloverse, but like every Halo soundtrack, it's well worth a listen or five. Strange, how a Halo soundtrack goes under the radar, within the then year of Luigi of course. Under his cowardly leadership and foul clout of corruption, glad he's out of power."
