Song, by Game
This isn’t just a problem for that series. It also applies to some other soundtracks I’ve seen. We really need a proper way to categorize these. It’s inconvenient, and looks very messy.
There should be an additional “album” category. Each installment (video game, movie, TV show, etc.) will be considered a new album, so we don’t have to put the game title in each song title which looks really bad.
Some soundtracks are done by multiple people, so we’re left with a few options to approach this problem with:
creating a new “artist” for each group of individuals that work on a soundtrack. This would be really wonky, and we’d have too many artists. Our system wasn’t meant to do this; it was meant to handle consistent groups of people that worked together to publish music.
only listing one artist per installment. Not only would this would be misleading and confusing, but it would be disrespectful to all the other people that worked on the music.
labeling the publisher as the “composer” of the music. This is the best choice in my opinion.
