Awesome soundtrack to the equally awesome documentary "The King Of Kong". The film revolves around an attempt to create a world record score on the Donkey Kong arcade game that pits "good guy" Steve Wiebe against reigning champion and hot sauce entrepreneur Billy Mitchell. We witness the attempts by Wiebe to entice Mitchell into a one on one showdown to prove once and for all who is the master of the Donkey Kong universe, resulting in both tragic and comic consequences. Added to the mix is self appointed and rather eccentric arcade game "referee" Walter Day who has the ultimate decision on who's record will stand. A fantastic and fun journey into 80's arcade gaming ensues...

The soundtrack has some classic moments in the form of "Eye Of The Tiger" and "You're The Best" (which is lifted from the Karate Kid movie). Also included are great tracks from The Cure and Animotion as well as some original compositions by Wiebe and Day. Interspersed between the tracks are funny bits of dialogue from the film which proves to be the icing on this retro gaming cake. The download I have seems to contain quite a different track listing to others I have seen on the web and doesn't include the Leonard Cohen song "Everybody Knows". Don't let that put you off though, it's a super listen!
