Mine sounds fine. What about it makes you call it mediocre?

I wonder when they release the Stardew Valley Soundtrack. I have to imagine that's coming at some point.
Stardew Valley will be released by Gamer's Edition (who did Rogue Legacy). It should be coming soon from what I've heard.
That is a welcome surprise! Cheers.

Can't find it yet. The first three are up again, though.

I can't seem to find it and had to search the site for it.

Done.
The tweet didn't link to the page for the album. Seems like a small oversight.

thanks! ordered!
I'm just imaging you in a giant meeting furiously pummeling the F5 key on your keyboard and everyone looking at you like you've had about 47 cups of coffee this morning.

That's like Verizon coverage on the T north of Boston. It's terrible, and when there's a release coming soon I get all edgy that I'm going to miss something thanks to bad signal.

I've gone splatter with every Vania release, but I bit on the Gold split for IV. Feels good.

I'm 31 years old but all these retro video games on vinyl do nothing for me. I never played any of these old NES/SNES growing up. I do think the artwork is cool though.
Anyone from the US who ordered the Witcher 3xLP from GameLegends receive theirs in the mail yet? I still haven't opened the 2xLP from ThinkGeek yet, not sure why.

Normally I go for the limited when it's an option, but I figured that someone else would like it more. Hopefully that doesn't mean it's one more in the hands of a reseller/scalper.

Grabbed the splatter. The split didn't appeal to me.
Haha glad I'm not alone on this. And I have enough splatter discs anyway.
I'm 33 and games like The Witcher on vinyl do nothing for me.
Different strokes, my friend.
Same boat, but now that I can't get the split, I have no interest in getting IV, as ridiculous as that sounds.

Exact same situation. Boo.
Honestly, i can't believe how bad the art is. It actually makes me laugh, like Mondo is just trolling now.
What about it makes you despise it so much? It looks like pretty typical 1980s style cartoon for video game art, the exact sort of stuff you used to see in LOZ when it was released.
This is a piece of key art from the original LOZ. The influence there is pretty heavy.

E: I was also able to find some art from the game that shows the same asthetic:

I went with split as well and for pretty much the same reason (damn ocd
) even though personally I love splatter way more than split, but since I have the split versions for all 3 of the NES CV games I had to keep it consistent.We're in the same boat. IMO old games on vinyl better reflect the era, as well as doing a better service to analog synths.

is that Boomhauer as Simon?
Starbound page is up (not available until noon) and it's $35. I was gonna snag it but at $35 I'll have to really think about it.

You mean from the original batch back in April? I think I received mine within a week or so of them going on sale.

yeah, Mondo is atleast legit in that they only put records up when they have them at hand
I really wanted this, but I couldn't go to $75.
I think the most I have paid for an album is in the £30 region for a 3xLP.
Daggone ole crucifix
I believe I saw it say CST.

What an absurd concept!!

Not to say pre-orders are an absolutely terrible thing, as some companies manage to deliver on-time with regularity, but I've had enough questionable experiences with pre-orders in general that I just don't really bother with doing that anymore unless there's a truly compelling reason to do so. That goes for everything... movies, records, games, books, phones/electronics, etc.
I appreciate the confidence in
"Here's what we're planning to release; we'll let you order it when:
A) we have it available to ship, or
B) we have a firm release date less than 3 months away."
Like I said... absurd.
So stoked to collaborate with the Starbound team & make them some classy style art for this beautiful soundtrack... I'm beyond excited how everything turned out!
The composer Curtis Schweitzer also created special versions of all the main tracks for this special vinyl release, since that soundtrack is huge!
Oh and it's a limited edition out of 500, and they're shipping now!
