i also would prefer the “real” soundtrac with all the sounds of a perfect playthrough. cause thats the music everybody is so fond of.. the background music is good as well - no question, but i’d like to have the whole music on a soundtrack, especually when it’s an official one…
i wouldn’t mind paying even more for it…

maybe there’ll come the days when there’s a “director’s cut” soundtrack of bittrip beat and core… i’d definatly buy them both!

Kunal says: “A suggestion if I may : Have longer tracks available. Essentially a recording of what one would hear (with all the user-generated sounds) if they got a perfect score.”
Agreed. I’m pretty sad that “Descent”, my favourite level and bg music, is so short too.

@jonfin826: Or just make a huge compilation on iTunes.

Maybe once all the games are done they can make a CD of Beat, Core, and Void, and a CD of BT4, BT5, and BT6.

At this point, the only thing that I think I can safely say that you should expect is more digitally released soundtracks for each game in the series. Anything beyond that is just dreams and “what-ifs” at the moment.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we ever only release these digitally.

well, what Alex says fits perfectly in the think-green he posted months ago. So it’s not only a good thing for us (less costs for creating cds, distribution etc that become lower price for us) but less energy used, less packaging, less gasoline, less carbon dioxide…
It’s a good thing ever for non-USA players/customers that arguably will never see a ost-cd in their game-shop (and then buy it on internet with high shipping cost and so..).
The idea of a real cd is nice if (sort of) home-made or anyway limited that can easily become the prize of a contest, like they already made for the posters *_*
It’s funny try to obtain a rare (if not unique) BIT.TRIP-gadget than to buy it!

We’ve thought about doing a limited edition CD of the soundtrack, with special sauce and powerful jab jabs, but doing a general run of CDs is cost prohibitive on one hand, and on the other hand, we’re really into the digital distribution thing; hence digital only.

If we ever do a limited edition CD deal, it probably won’t be for a LONG time. We’d have to make sure that we can really turn it into something awesome and make it a project of its own.

Until then, you can buy it digitally and burn it to a CD if you want it in your car or whatnot. I’ve got a crazy little iTrip that I use with my iPod in my car. It’s pretty rad.

I agree with brimtastic. An actual CD would be nice so I could listen to it in mah stereo or car. It’s not the same with teeny weeny headphones on.
