Christopher Bear - Roofman (Original Soundtrack) - VINYL LP

Firaxis Games, 2K Games and Laced Records have forged a tripartite alliance to deploy the music of Sid Meier's Civilization VII onto history's favourite music vinyl records. This double LP set features a selection of music from across the 'Ages' of the game, while sleeves are adorned with beautiful, historical artwork by the Firaxis team. Spanning human history and the entire globe, the soundtrack for Civilization VII is a hugely ambitious, impeccably recorded album of world & choral-orchestral music. Christopher Tin opens the soundtrack with main theme InchLive GloriouslyInch, sung in Ancient Greek, Old English, K'iche' and Sanskrit by the Crouch End Festival Chorus. Tin's piece InchBaba YetuInch - the theme song for 2005's Civilization IV - made history as the first piece of video game music to win a Grammy Award. His compositions are known for their rousing, globally inspired soundscapes that have become emblematic of the Civilization series. In-game music cues were composed, arranged and produced by Geoff Knorr (Civilization Beyond Earth, Civilization V & VI) and Roland Rizzo (Civilization II, III, IV, V, VI & XCOM® series). These tracks feature performances by a huge diversity of ensembles and musicians recorded worldwide, including the Prague FILMharmonic Orchestra and Choir, Ensemble I Fedeli, Mongolian State Morin Khuur Ensemble, Southern Pine Drum Group, Wong Pleng Khmer, and many soloists representing different musical traditions.

Christopher Rau - Asper Clouds [VINYL LP] date 06/06/2025

Vinyl LP pressing. Mutant and Sparks & Shadows are proud to present Bear McCreary's 2024 album The Singularity. The Singularity is an epic rock concept album, graphic novel, and concert experience from the mind of Grammy-nominated, and Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning composer Bear McCreary. The album features an extraordinary lineup of rock talent, including Slash, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Rufus Wainwright, Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Jens Kidman (Meshuggah), Joe Satriani, Buck Dharma (Blue Öyster Cult), Asdru Sierra (Ozomatli), Gaelic rapper and poet Griogair, Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Brendon Small (Metalocalypse), Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings trilogy), Faroese singer Eivør (God of War), Guthrie Govan and Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats), Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Ben Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Steve Bartek and John Avila (Oingo Boingo), Warren Fitzgerald (The Vandals), Esjay Jones (We Are PIGS), Sigurjón Kjartansson (HAM), Raya Yarbrough (Outlander), rapper Mega Ran, and legendary metal drummer Gene Hoglan (Strapping Young Lad, Dethklok). McCreary's brother, Brendan McCreary, also co-wrote and co-produced the album, and sings lead vocals on eight songs. Though undeniably hard rock, the music also bursts with cinematic energy from use of live orchestra, choir, and international colors including morin khuur, bagpipes, and nyckelharpa. The album's accompanying story is first revealed in three spoken-word monologues, lifted directly from the pages of the graphic novel (Image Comics). These scenes are performed on the album by Lee Pace (Foundation, The Hobbit trilogy), Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead), and Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy, God of War Ragnarök).
