Vynil sounds better.

Well, to be more accurate, Vynil sounds different.

You think there's more to it than that, but there really isn't. I collected some old Frank Zappa records until my dog chewed threw the turntable cable, it was the easiest way to find those particular records and the big sleeves look neat. Records allow you to make a presentation of putting on music, any dipshit can load a CD changer (or fail to) and everyone has their tiresome EDM running mix they like to put into any available Dock. Vynil is communal, something about slipping a big slab of music under a precise instrument and setting the proper speed is more engaging than strangling yourself in the extruded guts of a cassette tape.

We're able to manufacture vynil more effectively and cheaply these days, too. It's pretty simple to find a crappy old turntable and get it fixed for less than the original purchase price. I think you're selling these products short by lumping them in as 'hipster shit', and there's a lot of crazy, quality Vynil out there whereas the majority of old Cassettes and CD's consist of Buttrock and Indian Pop-Rap. And precisely 80% of all obsolescent musical technology is automatically consumed by 'Kiss from a Rose' by Seal.

Anyway, I would buy this Oddworld Vynil thingie. I really love the ambience of the Abe games' scoring, the only thing I hope for is some clean remixes, not some DJ crap.

Would buy? Why not just buy. Yeah vynil sounds different because it's imperfect.

Would buy, if A) I wasn't so close to broke; B) I didn't already own the game; and C) that "Trap Lord Abe" on front cover. I can't be the only one who sees it that way. I don't wanna knock JAW, because it is a really nice package they've put together, but that cover... I dunno, man.

Still tempting though, as that's a mighty sexy colored vinyl, plus the tattoos (you'll have to forgive me for not being too fresh on my OddLore) on each side of the record are just such a nice addition.

Plus that Rupture Farms Gatefold, gah. More than makes up for the lackluster front cover. Rupture Farms has such a fucking great design, so oppressively all-encompassing. Makes me wish Citizen Siege were still a thing for more paranoia-tinged Lorne artwork like that.

But anyways yeah wake me when they start making Abe and Slig action figures. Still waiting on those.

Can't tell if everybody is spelling vinyl wrong or if I've been spelling it wrong my entire life.

I just noticed you guys spelling it wrong. I wouldn't if Nep didn't said so. Turns out it's true that people read whole words with no regards to the letter order.

I mean, how could you even think it's "Vynil"...

Viryen would be so dissapointed, guys

I have heard that but for some reason that spelling of vinyl stuck out like a sore penis.

I spell it how I read it

cun't spill.

Wrong?

if the person who I'm replying to spelled it wrong, then yeah

Not even punctuating anymore, Jesus fucking Christ. None of you are putting the effort in.

Not to mention Job's the first one to spell it that way in this thread.

I assumed it was an obscure reference to Vyrien and didn't want to bring attention to the fact that I didn't get it by calling it out.

So apparently there's no planned digital-only release unless there is enough vocal demand for it. That's kind of shitty. Better whip out the airhorn and raid their offices.

Speaking of which, where is Oddworld Inhabitants established now? Or do they not have a brick-and-mortar office?

I'm fairly sure the walls are tin these days.


Because it's in a shed.



Lorne's shed.

I think OWI is actually at Lorne and Sherry's house. Might be wrong though.

OWI lives in the heart and minds of us all.

Like a parasite.

In a german online-shop the release is estimated on 27. November 2015.

The Official Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and New 'N' Tasty Soundtracks are now available on Steamhttp://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/st...g?t=1448288999


Also I got my physical copy!

EDIT: I've had a listen and they're really great. The new mixes are fantastic.

I hate all of you

You can only buy the soundtrack if you own the game on Steam? What a fucking joke.

Any news on an iTunes release yet?

We need a digital release. Can't believe this!

I'm still waiting here to receiving the Standard and Collector's edition at home XD

However , only for yesterday there was a ultra-limited edition for the Black Friday. Only 15 copies (never to be reprinted , as Black Screen Records said). They were sold out in under 10 minutes. But fortunately i got one of them !

And anybody of you got one "special" copy?

I've got the Green one and i'm happy with it. I wish they would use the press printed sleeve with the tatoo logo as a standard. The actual one is not really subtile.

I didn’t even have any idea they were going to sell those. Oh well.

I bought both soundtracks on Steam. It is pretty dumb that it's DLC for the game, but at least it gives you DRM-free MP3 files, so I'm not really complaining.

Yup, got mine :p

Looks like we both have one of each version of the first print of the Vinyl :)

Yeah :p
