A new project/album out today. Future Classic: Recomposed is an audio-visual project that sees 8 recompositions of the Sydney label's showcase songs. Originally a collaboration with Calm the brief was to create long-duration, ambient/classical/sleep versions of each track.
I’m also handling the visual duties, which sees each track showcasing its own artwork. When listening on Spotify flick through each canvas to see the corresponding visuals. The keystone piece of the project is a limited run of double gatefold vinyl records with printed inner sleeves.
It was a unique opportunity to bring the audio and visual sides of the project closer together, so I’m extremely grateful to Future Classic and all of the artists involved for allowing the project to come to life.

GODZILLA SINGULAR POINT Original Anime Soundtrack 2xLP From Waxwork Records.
Godzilla Singular Point is a 2022 Anime kaiju series that follows engineer Yun Arikawa and graduate student Mei Kamino as they are drawn together by a mysterious song. Their investigations lead to a fight against forces that may threaten the entire world. Featuring fan favorites like Jet Jaguar, Rodan, and Anguirus, Godzilla Singular Point swings between science fiction, Japanese mythology, and ferocious kaiju battles fans have come to expect from the Godzilla franchise!
Character design was handled by Blue Exorcist manga creator Kazue Kato, with former Studio Ghibli animator Eiji Yamamori designing the monsters.
The score composed by famed Japanese composer Kan Sawada is a lavishly produced composition full of bombastic orchestra driven cues, evoking the intense action of the kaiju terror. Electronic elements are also brought into the mix to accent the futuristic, science fiction nature of the story. Sawada utilizes a variety of instruments and voices to pay his respects to the earlier Showa era films, while creating something uniquely new and original.

The original Undetale 2xLP vinyl featured Gaster on it's cover art, which was later replaced with a save point.
I don't really think this means anything, just that the artist put Gaster on there and was asked to remove it, but it's still a cool little fact!
(Or is it? Maybe, just maybe, the fact that Gaster appears on the original cover but not the new one is representing his complete form before he fell into the core, perhaps the replacement with the save point is confirming his links to determination??? HELLO INTERNET

To celebrate Wall-Es 15th anniversary in 2023, the Wall-E soundtrack was released for the first time on vinyl record. It includes beautiful new artwork from Nicole Gustafsson and liner notes from Andrew Stanton.
It was a limited release, but I do see it restock on websites from time to time. I often see it being sold on the second-hand market. I got mine for a good price last week, and I can't wait to receive it!
With its eerie atmosphere and sharp-as-nails dialogue, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals calls to mind both ‘80s horror movies and coming-of-age stories alike. Developer Night School Studio weaves together a rich tale of returning home to find that not everything is the same, deftly building on the themes established in the first game.
And as was the case with that first game, music is a crucial part of Oxenfree II’s DNA. scntfc has once again crafted a foreboding, mercurial synth-powered soundscape, one that adds a whole new layer of intrigue and mystery to Oxenfree II’s foggy, treacherous cliff tops and streets. The music seems to whisper: “Danger is just around the corner, but so too is hope.”
It’s a soundtrack that quite simply demands to be immortalized in classic iam8bit fashion. That’s why we teamed up with publisher Netflix to bring you this — the Oxenfree II: Lost Signals 2xLP. Pressed on Radio Disturbance Red vinyl, its otherworldly grooves let you enjoy the music & mood of Oxenfree II, again and again.
The ludicrously talented Calder Moore crafted cover art worthy of the moody music you’ll find inside, calling to mind the brain-bending, jaw-dropping visuals present in the game itself.
It’s time to tune in to the signal. The Oxenfree II: Lost Signals 2xLP has arrived.
