Tracking new VGM releases since 2022

Lumines Remastered soundtrack hits streaming just in time for your Friday party

Now available on mobile, the classic, mind-bending puzzle game from Tetsuya Mizuguchi shines even more thanks to its banging soundtrack.


A few months after the soundtrack release of its spiritual successor, Lumines Arise, the original Lumines is getting a fresh coat of paint. Originally released in 2004 for the PSP and in 2018 for PC and modern consoles, the tile-matching game that laid the groundwork for Tetris Effect is hitting mobile. Naturally, it’s the perfect opportunity to finally release its trance soundtrack—composed jointly by Takayuki Nakamura and Katsumi Yokota—across all platforms. Listen to Lumines Remastered now on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, and YouTube, or buy it on Steam and Bandcamp.

Clocking in at 39 tracks and just under two hours of electronic music, the Lumines soundtrack has kept its pioneering edge, cementing its place as a true showcase for Sony’s handheld console. Even 22 years later, the sounds crafted by the two producers haven't aged a bit—especially amidst the current Y2K aesthetic revival.

Takayuki Nakamura and Katsumi Yokota's original score from the groundbreaking synesthetic puzzle game LUMINES REMASTERED is available digitally for the very first time, featuring 39 timeless tracks across a variety of genres and rhythms. Go on a sonically electronic journey from deep house to progressive trance and everything in between, even while you're away from your controller.
