Ori and the Blind Forest score to be released on vinyl
On April 29th at 9 a.m. PDT, Gareth Coker’s award-winning score to Ori and the Blind Forest will be released on vinyl on iam8bit. While this is only the most recent game score to be released in the growing slew of game music on vinyl, purchasers of the Ori album will have the unique option of choosing between a limited glow-in-the-dark edition (out of only 500 total) and a more traditional blue-and-purple cover.
Gareth Coker has already received numerous awards for the melodic and poignant music of Ori, including “Best Audio” from the Golden Joystick Awards and “Outstanding Original Music” from the D.I.C.E. awards.
The album will be accompanied by handpainted artwork from Aya Kakeda and a digital download of the score. For those interested in purchasing a vinyl, note that iam8bit has stated that the blue/purple edition will have the higher sound quality out of the two options.

Emily McMillan A native and lifelong Texan, I currently work in software education while contributing news, reviews, and interviews to VGMO on the side. I love the feeling that comes with the discovery of a brand new soundtrack, and always look forward to the next rekindling of that excitement. Outside of VGMO, I enjoy playing piano, listening to classical music and film scores, and trying to go unnoticed in any stealth RPG I can find.
