It's usually some time before a game starts to have remixes based on them, usually because it takes some time for a game to work its way into the hands of the gaming public. Also, it only tends to be AAA titles that often have remixes done on them for the very same reason: the more popular a game is, the more people have experienced its music. So I was quite surprised when I discovered that an indie game that's only been around for a couple years already has some pretty good covers and remixes. Admittedly, FTL: Faster than Light's soundtrack is pretty good (thanks to the talents of Ben Prunty) that I even managed to grab myself a copy. However, it wasn't until I came across a post on Ben Prunty's blog that I was made aware of the number of remixes and covers there were out there based off FTL's soundtrack.
The two that stand out for me are Torzelan's "Mantis" cover and Little V's "Space Cruise" cover. While they're both very good I decided to go with Little V's cover since as Ben Prunty puts it:
"Little V turns Space Cruise into an inspiring, epic rock piece with such style and panache that I'm left speechless... I now have a severely unhealthy man-crush on the guy."
