Earlier this week iam8bit announced that they would be releasing all the tracks from Rez Infinite’s Area X on vinyl as part of their Black Friday line-up and now preorders are live.
The release will be a single LP on orange colored vinyl. It will be housed in a single-pocket die-cut jacket with an inner sleeve. The release will feature design and artwork by Cory Schmitz.
It is priced at $30 and is scheduled to release in Q2 2021. It can be preordered from iam8bit here.
In mid-December last year Brave Wave announced that they would be releasing a Panzer Dragoon Saga arrangement album titled “Resurrection: Panzer Dragoon Saga 20th Anniversary Arrangement“. Well, now it’s almost here!
What’s really interesting is that the arrangement is done by the original soundtrack’s composer Saori Kobayashi. In an interview with The Verge Kobayashi has stated that: “I was able to achieve the kind of music that I wanted to do 20 years ago“.
Also present on this new arrangement is Eri Ito, Triforce Quartet, and Maho Azuma.
The vinyl release will be a 2LP on lilac colored vinyl. It will be housed in a gatefold jacket with artwork by Katsumi Yokota with additional design by Cory Schmitz. The release will include a booklet with essays and liner notes by people who worked on the game as well as archival artwork.
The release will be priced at $35/€35 and is scheduled to release early April 2018. It can be preordered via Fangamer for people in the US here and via BigWax for people in EU/RoW here.
