Last week Mondo announced that their final 2016 exhibition would be a classic Nickolodeon show featuring throwbacks like The Ren & Stimpy Show, Spongebob Squarepants, TMNT, and Rocko’s Modern Life. That’s not quite all the online boutique has in store for this year, though; today Mondo announced a sweet new batch of vinyl, led by a 12″ Single of Low Roar’s songs “I’ll Keep Coming” and “Easy Way Out,” from the forthcoming Hideo Kojima game, Death Stranding.
In addition to the DS single, which is available for pre-order here, Mondo announced the soundtrack for 10 Cloverfield Lane, the original video game soundtrack for the Sega rail-shooter, Panzer Dragoon, the music for the Mega Drive 16bit game, The Revenge of Shinobi, a limited vinyl pressing of the Cellar Door Game’s hack and slash classic, Rogue Legacy, and the long awaited repress of the first SURVIVE record, HD015.
So, yeah, there’s a lot to like in this week’s especially bounteous crop of vinyl. With 10 Cloverfield Lane, listeners get an intimate aural showcase of the thrilling journey that is Bear McCreary’s score. The composer’s range spanned the gamut on this one; he employed everything from orchestra to yayli tanbur to Blaster beam to capture the horrifying essence of the Cloverfield series’ latest installation.
The Panzer Dragoon release marks the first ever vinyl edition of the late Yoshitaka Azuma’s sweeping score. The Revenge of Shinobi, scored in 1989 by legendary composer, Yuzo Koshiro, is a precursor to Koshiro’s seminal soundtracks for the Streets of Rage series, offering his singular blend of Japanese-inflected, Western dance music.
Rogue Legacy, composed in tandem by Tettix and A Shell In the Pit, is limited to 300 copies, so don’t dally. And then SURVIVE’s first record; I mean, do I even need to say more? If you want a window into the roots of the dudes behind Stranger Things, this is your chance. The repress comes with brand new artwork via Austin-based label, Holodeck Records, and will set you back just $20.
As always, all new releases will be available on Wednesday at noon (CST) and, as always, Mondo doesn’t disappoint. Let us know what you think of this mixed bag of vinyl treasures in the comments below.
