Continuing the partnership with Treasure, Data are honoured to release the score from their legendary shooter, Ikaruga, for the first time on any format. Unlike its spiritual predecessor, Radiant Silvergun, the music is intense, compact and relentless in its focused energy. Steeped in dramatic tension and propelled by frenetic synths, this sublime score, composed by Hiroshi Iuchi (who also directed the game) perfectly encapsulates the meticulous design and demanding nature of this most revered of shooters. Ikaruga is presented as a 180g vinyl LP, carefully remastered and packed into a heavyweight matt laminated sleeve. It is accompanied by four lithographic prints of beautiful illustrations by Yasushi Suzuki and an obi strip
Released 18/3/22
