Returnal - Original Video Game Soundtrack LP

The vinyl pressing is super quiet, letting the haunting ambient layers really breathe between tracks. I put it on while reading and the atmosphere it creates is incredible.

The way Bobby Krlic’s score swells on vinyl makes the alien dread feel even more immersive than in-game. The pressing itself is quiet and clean, letting the strings and synths breathe without a hint of surface noise. I’ve already spun side A three times tonight.

The gatefold feels sturdy, and the vinyl itself has a nice weight to it. Bobby Krlic’s score really fills the room on my setup, especially the eerie synth layers that don’t come through as clearly on streaming.
