For all you BIT.TRIP FANATICS out there, we’ve just released the BIT.TRIP BEAT Official Soundtrack via CDBaby!
Proof!
It should be available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, eMusic, Napster, and a slew of other music retail services on 10/27/09 as well!
Also, follow the ongoing BIT.TRIP VOID coverage on Destructoid for the rest of the week as they finish out their “Mastering the Beats” BIT.TRIP exclusive feature!
Continue rocking on. Over and out.
How about some physical CDs? What with the retro awesomeness and all (CDs are retro now, right?).
You guys have been busy!! This is all very exciting, but I’m afraid I won’t be picking up the soundtrack any time soon. Perhaps after I’ve successfully explored the VOID a few times and need something to whet my appetite in the wait for Bit.Trip DELOREANORWHATEVER (tentative title).
Awesome ! Just bought Transition. Waiting for CORE.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Alex: So you guys consider releasing a Soundtrack-CD in the future for the BIT.TRIP-Games? 20mins is failry short, shoud we except something in the next few years?
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.
Frikin Sweet!
i have a $15 itunes card that i got like 5 years ago that i still haven’t used so ill use it once these songs hit itunes =D
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.
Bit. Trip Soundtrack: Volume 1
Bit. Trip Soundtrack: Volume 2
Yes.
Now I just need an iPod. D:
@jonfin826: Or just make a huge compilation on iTunes.
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.
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!
