Video Game Soundtracks on LPs     In the history of recording it's hard to think of sounds that haven't been captured on records. Music of every genre, soundtracks to movies, poetry and books, radio broadcasts, historic events, comedy, sound effects, sounds of nature, the "Golden Record" sent into deep space for extraterrestrials to potentially hear...the list is long. So it should be no surprise that another genre made its way onto vinyl in the late 2010's. Video game soundtracks not only came to vinyl, some charted onto the Billboard 200.   FACTOLA: iam8bit produces video game soundtracks on vinyl.
