Soundtracking the game’s pastiche of programs is Rob and Jona’s genre-spanning score—synth-heavy, eccentrically electronic, with a skewed sensibility that pays homage to cable access, library music, video art, and the late-night margins of the 80s and 90s underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTV obsessives will find plenty to love in \u003cem\u003eGreatest Hits from Planet Blip\u003c\/em\u003e: with surreal theme songs, jangly jingles, zippystings, catchy kitsch, period-accurate menu music and even pop hits from the alien airwaves, this propulsively playful soundtrack will have channel-flippers tingling with nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Planet Blip is an alien planet where art and music are the only currency and ‘consciousness particles’ form the basis of all media.
