STREETS OF RAGE 3 OST

Posted on 2018-03-12

One of the most unique, ambitious and experimental game soundtracks ever made. Now on vinyl for the very first time.

Similar to the task of condensing Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima’s abundance of ideas into a Mega Drive cartridge in 1994, it feels impossible to convey the influences, technical achievements and sheer ambition of their masterpiece into a single paragraph today. By combining automatic composition methods, custom programming languages and a complete sense of artistic freedom, Koshiro and Kawashima transcended their medium and created something so incomparable that it’s hard to believe it came from any games console, let alone a 16bit one. Streets of Rage 3 is urgent, demanding and a complete rejection of the notion that video game music is either pedestrian or predictable. We are honoured to be releasing it.

Streets of Rage 3 is presented as a double 180g LP in a heavyweight single pocket sleeve, with accompanying lithographic print featuring artwork from the SEGA archives in Japan. The audio was sourced from original hardware and carefully remastered in collaboration with Yuzo Koshiro, who also supplied exclusive liner notes for this release.

CHUMS G-SHOCK 35TH ANNIVERSARY WATCH

Posted on 2018-03-12

G-SHOCK collaborates with Utah’s CHUMS, ti celebrate the outdoor brand’s 35th anniversary. Though CHUMS has enjoyed three and half decades in Hurricane, Utah, the watches are made for the label’s Japanese fanbase. Japan’s love of outdoors clothing and exploration has made the brand a favorite in the East, but the watch’s design taps into CHUMS’s American heritage with a commemorative design. A range of customized features accent the design: an American flag encircles the face, the brand’s booby bird logo is projected inside the display, the strap displays more CHUMS branding and a celebratory anniversary design is engraved on the rear of the watch.
