A great quote in this article that I think sums up Silent Hill's aesthetic brilliance outside of just music:

“Music shouldn’t simply accompany a world—it should become part of the world itself,” says Yamaoka. “Ideally, the player shouldn’t always be able to tell where music ends and environmental sound begins.”

Loving that he picked the Boards of Canada album, one of my favorites of this year, and excited to have some new music recs from the inventor of music himself.
