The great people over at Data Discs have been kind enough to send me a copy of their new vinyl release of Motohiro Kawashima’s double album “Acrobatizm / Prepared Wave” for a giveaway.

While this isn’t strictly video game music, Kawashima is no stranger to games as he co-composed the music for the legendary soundtracks to Streets Of Rage 2 and 3 (among many, many other games).

A copy of the album on lovely pink double vinyl is up for grabs alongside three download codes for the album for the runner-ups (the winner of the vinyl release also gets a code). Don’t care about the giveaway and just want the record as soon as possible? Fear not, the album is still available to order from Data Discs right here.

Sign-ups for this giveaway are now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated!

The fine print:

• • The contest will end on March 16, 2025 at 10:00pm CET and the winner + three runner-ups will be contacted soon thereafter.

• • Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine it is not currently possible for me to ship to either of those countries as well as Belarus.

• • Please be aware that the records will be shipping from the EU. Please note that Blip Blop is not responsible for any additional customs or import fees that may occur.

• • Your name and e-mail will only be used to contact you if you win and nothing else. All names and e-mails will be deleted once the winner has been contacted.

• • You can only enter the contest once. People who enter multiple times will be removed from the drawing.

• • Each entry will be assigned a random number and the winner will be picked using Random.org based on that number.
