I have a question about vinyl releases for video game music. The collectors of these records seem rabid, which makes sense, because gaming is obviously a huge industry with a devoted fanbase. It makes me curious about the music itself. Is this something I should be checking out, as a music lover with interests in many different musical genres? And since I don't play video games, how do I even begin to learn about the games with the best music? I guess, since I'm clueless, I'm skeptical as to whether the video game vinyl releases that people go crazy for are actually bc the quality of the music vs their love of the game itself, and desire to own its associated collectibles.
I've had this question forever, but under stay-at-home-times I've begun chatting with friends while watching them play games over twitch, and my interest was peaked by the music for the game Shadow of the Colossus, which was really cool.
