Deluxe pressing! Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein's soundtrack to the hit Netflix series Stranger Things gets a special edition repress on beautiful blue & red splatter vinyl, complete with brand new artwork, fold out poster, 4x6 character cards, and upgraded print stock. The duo from the band S U R V I V E absolutely nailed that retro 80's horror score vibe with analog synthesizers galore done up in classic John Carpenter style. Fans of the show already know how much the music played a crucial part in setting the tone for the Duffer brothers nostalgia-soaked sci-fi tale, and even if you haven't seen it yet (ahem, get on that!) the music stands on its own as a brilliant and brooding work of analog synth mastery. Volume two features 39 tracks from the show including an extended version of the Stranger Things theme, "I Know What I Saw," "Danger Danger," "Speak Of The Devil," "Kids Too," "Leap Of Faith," and many more. Recommended.
