After Burner II Vinyl

Data Discs’ 15th offering pays tribute to Hiroshi Kawaguchi’s excellent soundtrack for After

Burner II. The double vinyl includes both the familiar arcade renditions of the tracks alongside the arranged versions from SST Band. The vinyl discs themselves are both a cool purple, which is sure to make any coloured vinyl fan salivate all over their shoes – these are limited, but classic black colours are also available. The package also comes with a print of the full art, which would look great framed above your audio setup. As for the soundtrack itself, well, it’s After Burner II: it’s superb. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, you should really play the game, the soundtrack features rolling bass and riffing guitars which is tied together with an almost operatic flair.

It’s enough to make you want to slide a pair of aviators on and take to the skies. Price: £24.99 From: data-discs.co.uk
