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. First up is Yoshitaka Azuma’s Panzer Dragoon soundtrack, which they announced earlier this year, and second up is the previously unannounced The Revenge Of Shinobi soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro.
Panzer Dragoon will be released as a 180g 2LP cut at 45RPM and comes in a thick mirror board sleeve. It will be available in three color variants – limited edition sky clear with blue and grey swatches, sky blue opaque, and classic black vinyl. It also includes a lithographic insert.
The Revenge Of Shinobi will be released as a single 180g LP cut at 45RPM. It will be available in three color variants – bone with black splatter, bone opaque, and classic black. It also includes a double-sided lithographic print. As a bonus 50 lucky early buyers of the limited edition will receive a numbered copy signed by Yuzo Koshiro.
Both releases will go up for sale on Saturday December 3rd, 2016 via Data Discs website. Panzer Dragoon is ready to ship immediately, while The Revenge Of Shinobi is scheduled to release January 2017.
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.
The release will be a single LP on 160g black vinyl and comes in a thick tip-on jacket featuring the original game art. It also comes with a download card for the soundtrack.
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.
The arrangement is done by Rémi Gazel who is also the original composer from the game. The arranged album is described as being a “Jazz/Rock/Symphonic/Electro” album.
For this album Rémi have teamed up with some labels who are very much familiar with game music – Black Screen Records and Data Airlines. Black Screen Records will be handling the vinyl release which will be a 2LP with one record on orange and one on blue vinyl. The vinyl tier is priced at €32 (with an early bird tier at €29).
If the €140,000 stretch goal is met a third 12″ record with electro remixes will be added to the release.
The campaign will run from today and until December 16, 2016. If the campaign meets the goal of €50,000 then backer rewards are expected to ship out April, 2017.
It was teased in a newsletter from BioWare yesterday and now we have it (or at least the preorder)! The soundtracks to Mass Effects 1, 2, and 3 will be getting a 4LP box set release.
The 4 discs will all be 180g and come on a different color each. Disc one will feature the Mass Effect soundtrack on black vinyl, disc two will feature the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack on white vinyl, disc three will feature the Mass Effect 3 soundtrack on red opaque vinyl, and finally disc four will contain bonus tracks from the games on orange translucent vinyl.
The tracklist hasn’t been posted, but due to the length of the soundtracks it must be assumed that each disc only holds a selection of tracks from the full soundtracks.
There are no words on the label working on this (or if this is all BioWare’s own doing).
