The Coalition and Laced Records have joined forces to bring stunning remasters of the original trilogy soundtracks to vinyl.2006's Gears of War was truly a trend-setter thanks to it's cinematic action, cover system, Active Reload, and biceps the size of basketballs. Composer Kevin Riepl (Unreal Tournament series, Rocket League) and the Northwest Sinfonia infused the soundtrack with a propulsive sense of Sturm und Drang. On the frantic orchestral cues, driving metallic percussion accompanies thumping brass and busy string flurries. Riepl also forged the game's signature sound with dark ambient pieces that employed electronic samples and delay. This double LP set features 31 tracks, specially remastered for vinyl by Joe Caithness. These will be pressed onto two audiophile-quality, heavyweight 180g red LPs. Discs will be housed in a wide-spined sleeve with two printed inner sleeves.The final track "Gears of War (Piano)" has never been released until now.
