The second album of the instrumental electronic post/math rock band 65daysofstatic also serves as the official soundtrack for the much-awaited adventure survival video game "No Man's Sky."
Aptly titled "Music for an Infinite Universe," the album is now available for pre-order and will be released on June 17, four days before the ambitious Hello Games-developed sci-fi title will hit the shelves.
The soundtrack comes in two parts. The first one includes 10 original tracks while the second one boasts six "soundcapes," its entirety not longer than two hours. Fans can listen to the first track of the "No Man's Sky" album on SoundCloud. The song is called "Supermoon."
"No Man's Sky" being a procedurally generated game, the soundtrack will not sound like how it is in the 65daysofstatic album. Instead, gamers will hear it based on how they play the title.
The digital version of the "Music for an Infinite Universe" album is priced at €10.99. For €15.99. "No Man's Sky" fans can get a deluxe double CD of the album along with the digital download.
To get an X2 LP vinyl version of the soundtrack, players will have to shell out €31 while a deluxe X4 vinyl box set, referred to as the Ultimate Collector's Vinyl Edition, is priced at €52. Both come with the digital version. Check all the collections here. Game retailer iam8bit also offers the 2LP version of the album.
Hello Games also teamed up with game merchandiser iam8bit to put together an Explorer's Edition of "No Man's Sky" for PC. There will only be 10,000 copies of this to be up fpr grabs. It's unclear if a PS4 version will be released.
For $149.99, buyers will get a copy of the game, a hand-painted metal ship replica that comes with decals for players to design it with, a traveller pin and a diorama display backdrop all for $149.99.
"No Man's Sky" will be released to the PS4 and PC on June 21.
