Grim Fandango

Description

Grim Fandango | ^{Peter McConnell
20th Anniversary Director’s Cut Edition}

Jazz isn’t dead. Well, actually, in this case, it is… but in the most thematically appropriate way. To celebrate the quarter-century anniversary of Manny’s odyssey through the afterlife, we’re repressing the Grim Fandango 2xLP Vinyl Soundtrack, originally released five years ago for the game’s 20th birthday. Composer Peter McConnell’s trumpet-y and rambunctious big band lounge act can finally be heard the way it was always intended – on vintage black vinyl.  Real human orchestras were rarely used for video game music back in the 90s, but in this Remastered Director’s Cut, every note was re-recorded and performed by actual fleshy people. The results are foot-tapping and chill, turning your living room into a veritable smokey club (smoke not included).
