In conversation with Andy earlier this year, Californian record label Ghost Ramp spoke of its desire to release videogame soundtracks alongside music from regular bands and producers.

"I want to show that the music they re making can stand alone as its own art," said founder Nathan Williams a sentiment shared by label manager Patrick McDermott, who added: "Videogame music is as much a part of the discography of our lives as any other LP, and indie game music has transcended the 16-bit throwback vibe so much lately. A big goal for Ghost Ramp is to show people that these guys are artists in their own right, and not just video game music composers."

Brace Yourself Games' rhythm-action roguelike Crypt of the Necrodancer won Best Audio at the 16th annual Game Developers Choice awards where it pipped Star Wars Battlefront, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture to the star prize and is now to be Ghost Ramp's first major game-to-vinyl release, McDermott tells me.

Shipping in March of next year, preorders are open now, should that be something you're into, which cost either $45 or $55, depending on whether you opt for the Limited Edition or the Special Edition. Full details can be found via the Ghost Ramp store, where you'll also find the likes of Austin Jorgensen s score for the post-apocalyptic side-scrolling role-player LISA.

As well as the header image above, here's a glance at the Crypt of the Necrodancer vinyl's very cool sleeve art:

Oh look here's a sizable update for rhythm roguelike (somehow, it's still the only one) Crypt of the Necrodancer, that adds a whopping two new playable soundtracks to the game. Soundtrack the first is a "retro freestyle" OST by Shovel Knight composer Virt, while the second is a work of "pulse pounding synthwave" from Girlfriend Records. You can switch between the current soundtrack, and these new ones, from the menu.

There are also a load of bug fixes, but more importantly for those of us that don't yet own Necrodancer, there's a sale on Steam. You'll save 67% if you buy the game in the next 30-and-a-bit hours, which sounds like a bonny deal indeed.
