Unoriginal Soundtracks #46: From Dust

Every other Wednesday, I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for relevant terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and uncover hidden gems. Make requests to @USPodcast on Twitter.

Lots of games get the "sandbox" label slapped on them, but From Dust is more like playing with a bucket and spade at the beach; you pile up sand to divert flowing water, and you struggle to keep the ocean from washing your creation away. The game inspires an elemental playlist of rock, 2 Tone, and blues.
