So tell me master of videogame tunes, is it worth the 10$?

Edit: I've just noticed that shatter ist shatter. So, yes it is worth the 10$, imo.

Still no "download them all" really? Not even a torrent for them all? *grumbe*

I'd say the Aquaria album is worth 10$ alone. I don't know too many of the others, but Tower of Heaven got a pretty good soundtrack as well.
Mighty Switch Force is pretty damn awesome. It's also available separately as PWYW if you don't have $10 to spare.

Click on each album to get a link to their Bandcamp page (where available) and get a preview.

Out of these, I've listened to Aquaria (through the game), Jamestown (ditto) and Shatter (this was the first digital album I ever bought at Bandcamp.) Those three make the package worthwhile.

Also, Shatter is the remastered version. The version of the album I bought didn't have proper fade-outs, it just cut off.
Bought the lot for $10, well worth it. Also got the extra gift bundle for $5, which I think is a brilliant idea. Not sure who I'll give it to just yet - if none of my friends are interested I'll give it away here.

It's a shame I missed the first bundle, would've loved to get those albums as well. Fingers crossed they go on sale again. I know they're pretty cheap already individually but I'm a sucker for a combo deal.

Damn you GOG forum members, stop showing me these awesome deals! It means there's less money to spend here :-(
I haven't bought it yet because I can't decide if I should pay more than $10 or not because many of those albums came with previous HIBs. If the surprise album is the Bastion OST I'll definitely pay more than $10.
Disasterpeace is my favorite 8-bit/chiptune artist of all time, so I'll definitely be purchasing the $10+ bundle. Also, I don't think the Introversion HiB included the Aquaria's soundtrack, so that will be a huge bonus for me as well.

This bundle along with indiegala have provided me with plenty of amazing music. :D This will keep me satisfied until the next set of indiegala/HiB/etc bundles.

The Machinarium and Jamestown soundtracks that came with the Humble Bundles were mid-quality MP3s, but you get high quality MP3s or FLAC files here. Also, the Machinarium Humble Bundle soundtrack only included the bonus EP, while this one includes the full soundtrack.

So you're getting an upgrade.

Good to know, thanks for checking. Still, the Bastion OST would be a nice addition :P
I'm gonna buy it as soon as can I put some money on my card.

Nice. :)
The Squids Original Soundtrack by Romain Gauthier has been unlocked for everybody that payed over $10 and there are still 2 more extra albums that could be added if sales keep going up.
I haven't heard about that Squids but it seems to be a casual game.
