[Album Review]: Plug-In - Hijack

Not long ago, the French band Plug-In released an album of instrumental metal titled "Hijack", whose album was totally Constructed based on the style of OST Games, that's right, music to games.
Featuring stunning and varied guitar playing on top of beautiful melodies, just check out the soaring melody of the first track Danthägl. Natural sounding guitar tones, no djent or tech here, and a big fat production that allows the drums and bass to shine through.
Basically Hijack expands on the framework established by Joe Satriani by adding just the right amount of progressive touches, especially by the rhythm section. Imagine how crazy it would be playing a FPS (First-person shot), for example, listening to the rhythm of powerful like track Conkrete or a Race game packed the catchy tune of Meeting Steeve or Texas Instruments. It is a case to think about .. Check NOW!

Now, how about we see some European game devs license some tracks from “Hijack” in yours next game? I, for one, would be in favor of this decision!
