In anticipation of today's upcoming VA-11 HALL-A announcement from Black Screen Records I thought it fitting to take a look at its original vinyl release from all the way back in 2017. #vinyl #instavinyl #vgmvinyl #vgm #videogamemusic #gaming #blipblop #records #gamemusic #soundtrack #music #videogamevinyl #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #nowspinning #nowplaying #nowlistening #vinyljunkie #vinyligclub #igvinyl #grantkirkhope #mariorabbids #ubisoft #iam8bit #supermario It's also probably the easiest of any Mario-related vinyl releases to track down for a decent price! It comes on clear vinyl and it's a fairly quiet pressing and I didn't personally notice many flaws, although there are reports of some people having a slightly muddy sound on theirs - so your mileage may vary. The front features the best part of the release's design where they slapped an actual fuzzy mustache on Rabbid Mario, which is one of my favorite jacket gimmicks in my entire collection. The release itself was put out by iam8bit and while there's no original art used (to my knowledge) they use the game assets well for a simple front and back and a colorful gatefold image. As a neat bonus game director Davide Soliani snuck a vinyl only bonus track of a demo of the Phantom-song sung by Kirkhope himself as well. Some of my personal favorites are "Cold Start, Hot Finish", which harkens back to some of Kirkhope's past scores, the epic and powerful "The Lava Forge", and the big star of the show the multi-act "The Phantom Of The Bwahpera".
The compositions are all performed excellenty by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Nevertheless it turned out to be good choice as Kirkhope's experience writing music for wacky games proved a great fit for the crazy Rabbids. The soundtrack is composed by the legendary Grant Kirkhope who was reportedly asked to write the score before being told that it would be a Mario game and was rather awe-struck upon finding out.
Even more baffling was that it was a turn-based strategy and. Back in 2017 we learned that some guys at had somehow managed to convince that a crossover between the Rabbids and Super Mario franchise was a good idea.
