ESCism - Original Video Game Soundtrack LP

The vinyl itself is a deep, rich pressing with almost no surface noise, and Lena Raine’s score sounds wonderfully full on my turntable. I’ve been listening to it on repeat while working, and it transports me right back to the game’s world.

The gatefold sleeve has a beautiful matte finish that really makes the album art pop. The vinyl itself is dead quiet, and the dynamic range on tracks like "The Long Descent" is fantastic. I've been listening to it on repeat since it arrived.

Lena Raine's compositions sound incredible on vinyl—the warm analog crackle adds a layer of depth to the game's atmosphere I didn't expect. The gatefold sleeve is beautifully designed, though I wish the track listing was printed larger.
