Team ICO's Shadow of the Colossus has one of PlayStation's greatest soundtracks. The music is as much a part of the experience as anything else; the soaring, heroic music that plays as you grip a colossus' fur for dear life just makes the game that much more memorable. It was only a matter of time before somewhere brought it out on vinyl, and here comes iam8bit to deliver the goods.
The remastered music will be spread across a gorgeous double album, with a sleeve featuring some lovely original artwork. The record is available to pre-order now for $40, and is expected to ship in Q2 2018.
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, we're also treated to a short interview with the original composer of the soundtrack, Kow Otani. It's a neat video that lends a little bit of insight into the creation of Shadow of the Colossus' haunting sound.
Will you be pre-ordering this soundtrack? Are you a fan of these vinyl releases? Shoot some lizards in the comments below.

In case you couldn't tell, I love the music in Shadow of the Colossus.
That looks gorgeous and @Quintumply the music is worthy of endless praise because it's amazing. Shame I don't have a record player.
I'll buy it on itunes like nier automata soundtrack.
Screw it. I've just pre-ordered the PS4 version of this game on Amazon. I've recently bought the PS2 and PS3 versions, but I think this game deserves to be first played with the best version which this is looking to be.
Does anyone know if this soundtrack will be available on CD or on iTunes or similar? From what I heard in that video the music sounds amazing and I'd love to have it alongside the rest of the video game music on my phone.
I'm really excited for this game. Just finished The Last Guardian and good god was it amazing. Its an absolute masterpiece, and now I can't wait for this!
One of my favourite game soundtracks for sure. Does anyone know of any of Kow Otani's other music is as good/similar?
@Quintumply Do you know if this will be available in Europe as well? I recently bought the Blade Runner OST, so I'm kinda interested in this one too.
@Octane I've had a play around on iam8bit's website. It seems they ship to most locations, and it will tell you the additional charge for shipping before you enter any payment details, so you can check if they'll ship to you and how much. Hope that helps!
@Quintumply Cheers! Kinda pricey if you it everything up. Maybe there's a second hand seller down the road, who knows!
