Halo Original Trilogy Soundtracks Set to Land on Limited Edition Vinyl
Halo Studios and Laced Records have teamed up to bring the iconic music of the original Halo trilogy to vinyl for the first time.
The Halo Original Trilogy Soundtrack Collection Limited Edition vinyl box set is now available to pre-order from www.lacedrecords.com. 83 tracks from Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2 and Halo 3 have been specially remastered for vinyl and will be pressed onto eight heavyweight, galaxy-effect LPs. Each game soundtrack will be housed in a wide-spined outer sleeve with printed inner sleeves. In turn, these will be contained in a collector’s rigid board box with silver laminate wrap and debossed Halo logo.
Separate sets for Halo: Combat Evolved (double LP), Halo 2 (triple LP) and Halo 3 (triple LP) are also available as Limited Edition, galaxy-effect vinyl sets from the Laced store; with traditional black vinyl versions of the box set and separate sets available from third-party retailers soon.
Original sleeve artwork has been created by Art Director and Concept Artist Isaac Hannaford (aka Rhizus / Space Ship Guru), former Lead Concept Artist and contributor to Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo Reach. Additional box set artwork has been created by graphic designer Maren Landsnes.
Halo: Combat Evolved was the quintessential console first-person shooter and its soundtrack laid the foundation for the franchise’s legendary sounds. Taking inspiration from various genres, the score combines sweeping orchestral cues with marching military snares, prog-rock percussion, and who can forget the Gregorian Monk chant? For Halo 2, the composers joined forces with A-list musicians, giving the Halo theme a heavy metal makeover with the new “Mjolnir Mix”. It was the first video game soundtrack to enter the Billboard 200. Halo 3 featured tribal drums and prog-rock refrains while piano melodies alongside a 60-piece orchestra and 24-voice choir brought emotional depth to the soundtrack.
