Dark Souls Vinyl Trilogy coming to EUROPE ONLY this fall from Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe

July 31, 2017 | Ryan Paquet | Comments Off on Dark Souls Vinyl Trilogy coming to EUROPE ONLY this fall from Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe Share this

We previously reported on ThinkGeek’s exclusive release of the Dark Souls soundtrack releases on vinyl. However, on July 27, 2017, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe announced they would be releasing a Europe exclusive Dark Souls Trilogy vinyl set featuring 9 LPs. The image matches exactly an image from a catalogue posted to reddit back in April earlier this year which you can view here.

You can watch the trailer for the set above. Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe describes the set on their YouTube page:

Bring the Age of Fire to your turntable this Fall 2017 with the exclusive DARK SOULS, THE VINYL TRILOGY, a 9-vinyl collector box that includes all the Dark Souls orchestral themes composed by Motoi Sakuraba and Yuka Kitamura! Stay tuned for more info on how to order one of the 2,000 copies available!

Excited fans of this newly announced set have already asked Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe about the possibility of this set coming to North America and they have apologized saying it’s an exclusive and those outside Europe may have to pursue the set through resellers. I’m happy that they have named composers in the video trailer.

If you haven’t already purchased the ThinkGeek editions, is this a set you’ll be pursuing?

ThinkGeek Exclusively Offering Dark Souls 1-3 Original Soundtracks on Vinyl

July 26, 2017 | Ryan Paquet | 1 Comment Share this

About three months ago on April 21, 2017, an image of Dark Souls LPs surfaced on reddit, the image was sourced from the back pages of a catalogue. At the time there was no further information about the releases until today. It appears that the three double LPs (representative of the soundtracks to Dark Souls, Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III) will be exclusive to ThinkGeek all priced at $34.99 apiece.

Based on the images available of the sets, it does not appear that the composers of the music for the series Motoi Sakuraba, Nobuyoshi Suzuki, Tsukasa Saitoh and Yuka Kitamura are credited anywhere on the cover art, or the LPs themselves. I hope I’m mistaken.

All of the soundtracks were officially licensed and look pretty sharp. You can order them directly at the ThinkGeek here.

Are these Dark Souls LPs worth dying for?

Need more Random aka Mega Ran in your life? Then you may want to consider pre-order his new tour documentary Mega-Lo-Mania! Coming in more digital and physical formats, the documentary will chronicle the chip-hop artist’s recent tour and appearance at PAX. Along with the 33-minute film, directed by Michael Cardoza as he followed Mega Ran and soul/funk band The Lo-Classic, you’ll also be receiving 5 never-released recordings and some other goodies.

“I had a blast. It didn’t totally go as I’d expected, but I think that’s the best story to tell; that it won’t always work out 100% according to plan, and that making adjustments on the fly is such a big part of what we do. I love the way the documentary came out.” – Mega Ran

Need more to convince you? Here’s a sneak peak of one of the exclusive live band recordings to be released with the documentary:

April 2, 2012 | Audun Sorlie | 2 Comments Share this

On April 5th, the dead will rise, bringing the funk to town the way only classic game music can provide. The graves tremble in unrest, the electronic screams reaches further and the haunted sound that shall never be forgotten will fill the streets once again.

OSV visited the tomb of the FM Synth, actually because it seemed like a good place to do the dirty lambada without getting caught, but then as the casket cracked open and the fumes of the faded rose into the sky, clues were discovered, a list of names, hidden in code, shrouded in mystery. Can you figure it out?
