The music of Borderlands is coming to vinyl
Laced Records has announced that they are again working with Gearbox and 2K to bring more music from the Borderlands series to fans around the world, specifically, the music is coming on two vinyl discs, remastered and made up of 30 tracks.
The richly talented composition team brought several different flavours to the game. Legendary composer Jesper Kyd (Assassin’s Creed, Hitman) set the tone with dirty, dusty, percussion-heavy musical soundscapes flecked with Wild West guitars. Duo Sascha Dikiciyan & Cris Velasco (with credits including Quake 2 & 3, Unreal Tournament, Mass Effect 3, God of War 3, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided) brought the filth and the danger to battle cues. Borderlands series stalwart Raison Varner contributed outlandish battle tracks and, alongside Tim Larkin (DOTA 2, Artifact), saw to some of the more atmospheric and ambient pieces.
Thirty tracks from the original soundtrack, including bonus tracks not before released on physical formats, have been specially remastered for vinyl and will be pressed onto 180g LPs. These will be housed in a wide spined gatefold sleeve. Sleeve artwork was produced in collaboration with Gearbox Software’s Borderlands art team.
There are two versions being made available, but the only difference is the colour of the discs. If you want the pink, click here and if you want the plain black, then here is where you need to go.
Both sets are priced at £33.00 each, which is just under $60 in AUD, so not the cheapest, but collections like this are always nice to have.
