Dystopian video game soundtrack gets vinyl release.

Invada Records, the label operated by Portishead and BEAK>’s Geoff Barrow, is releasing the soundtrack to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon as part of this year’s Record Store Day celebrations.

The music for the video game, a first-person shooter set on a tropical island, was composed by Australian duo Power Glove, who craftily bill themselves as “two lawyers sent back from the streets of future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles 2043. With a touch of romance and a ton of trouble, we’re gonna get there… any way we can.”

Game developers Ubisoft say the soundtrack “mirrors the game’s vision of a nostalgia-drenched journey into the world of VHS-inspired dystopian futures.” That just about nails the retro-futurist vibe of the music, which also recalls Barrow’s excellent Drokk project from 2012, an imagined soundtrack to Judge Dredd.

The record comes as a double vinyl LP in neon pink with artwork by poster artist James White (Blade Runner, Drive, The Thing) and is limited to 1000 copies worldwide.
