iam8bit have just announced that they will be releasing Motoaki Furukawa’s soundtrack to the 1991 arcade game Sunset Riders on vinyl. The release comes out in commemoration of the game’s 25th anniversary.
The release comes on a “clear smoke” 10″ record in a jacket with brand new artwork by Drew Wise. The jacket comes with die-cut bullet holes to match the game’s Western theme.
Preorders have opened now and the release, which is limited to 1000 copies, is scheduled to go out in Q2 2017.
The release will be a single LP on translucent lavender-colored vinyl. It will be housed in a heavy-weight sleeve with UV gloss and includes inner sleeves with game art. The release will be limited to 300 copies.
It will be priced at $28 and go up for sale on Wednesday via Gamer’s Edition and Mondo. There’s no specific release date, but Gamer’s Edition are hoping to ship them out before Christmas.
A listing for a 12″ with two Low Roar songs used in the trailers for the upcoming PlayStation 4 game Death Stranding have appeared on Mondo’s website.
The 12″ will come on 180g clear vinyl with heavy black splatter. It comes in a regular jacket with artwork by Randy Ortiz.
It’s still unclear whether these songs will feature in the final game and also unclear when the game by Hideo Kojima will release. However, we do know that preorders are live now via Mondo’s site and that this release is scheduled to go out in February 2017.
We’ve known about this for a while and I think it’s safe to say that it’s one of the most anticipated releases to be announced this year – and now we can preorder it. Yes, the soundtrack to Hideo Kojima’s Snatcher is getting a vinyl release.
The release will be a 2LP pressed on 140g colored vinyl and features the Sega CD version of the soundtrack which is composed by Konami Kukeiha Club. It comes in a gatefold jacket with artwork by Ian Wilding. Also included are two prints of original game art from Konami’s archives.
Four different color variants will be available in total with some being exclusive to certain distributors (see below). The variants are on orange/white/red tri-color (Ship To Shore exclusive), green-in-grey (Ship To Shore exclusive), ultra clear (retail), and red translucent with black splatter (The Yetee exclusive).
The release is priced at $35 and is scheduled to release in Q1 2017. It can be preordered from the following sites:
Data Discs have been teasing us about their next releases for a while, but today they’ve shed some light on what they’ll be.

A series of listings on various online stores have revealed that we’ll be getting Johan Söderqvist and Patrik Andrén’s soundtrack to Battlefield 1 on vinyl.
The soundtrack will be released by EA Music and will come on a 180g single LP mixed and mastered specifically for vinyl. It will include a 12″ poster and a download code for the full digital soundtrack.
The release can be preordered now from various retailers (including Amazon US and Amazon UK). Prices vary a bit from place to place but is usually around the $26 mark. It is scheduled to release on January 27, 2017.

Today iam8bit announced that they will be releasing Austin Wintory’s score to the diving exploration game Abzû.
The album will be available as a 2LP set on 180g oceanic blue vinyl and will come with original cover artwork done by Nimit Malavia. As an early preorder incentives orders placed during the Black Friday weekend (November 25th to 28th) will feature a special bioluminescent/glow-in-the-dark cover. Orders placed after that will come in a regular cover – the glow-in-the-dark effect will be the only difference.
iam8bit are no strangers to Austin Wintory’s works as they’ve previously released his Journey and The Banner Saga scores as well as releasing his The Banner Saga 2 score this December.
Yesterday a listing for a vinyl release of the soundtrack to the smartphone game Two Dots appeared on Bandcamp. The release contains most of the music from the three volumes of the games soundtrack, which is composed by Cody Uhler & Ross Wariner.
The release is a 2LP with one record on red and the other on purple vinyl. It comes in a gatefold cover with playful designs by Michael Eades & Patrick Moberg – it’s got a labyrinth and a tic-tac-tone game on it (and more)!
The release is priced at $50 and only 100 copies have been pressed. Orders opened on November 17 and it will begin shipping shortly.
It was revealed in a post on the official Playstation blog some time ago, and now it’s been announced that iam8bit will be releasing Heinali’s soundtrack to the game Bound on vinyl.
The release will be a single LP on 180g sky blue vinyl and will come in a cover with new artwork done by Hannah Christenson.
