Disasterpeace's original score to Hyper Light Drifter, now as a deluxe vinyl boxset! Once again Iam8bit have really outdone themselves, as Hyper Light Drifter is one of their most beautiful pressings to date. The soundtrack is spread across four 180 gram LP's, each in a different translucent color (pink, blue, green, and fuchsia), and housed in a custom hardbox with tri-fold outer wrap that is easily opened/closed with hidden magnets in the flaps. Words don't do justice as the package is truly a sight to behold, especially with the special outer foil layer that provides a unique metallic sheen. The music contained is just as epic, folliowing in the footsteps of previous cult classics by Disasterpeace (composer of Fez and It Follows) as another chill-inducing work that blurs the edge of experimental ambient, drone, and glitch. Essential purchase for fans of the game!
