Sometimes things just align to make something really special and that’s definitely the case with So Let Us Melt. I am thrilled that So Let Us Melt is being released on vinyl and CD and I am just completely in love with the artwork that Atomhawk have produced for the album. So Let Us Melt is very different to Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, but I’m so proud of it – I think it will surprise and delight fans in equal measure.
My previous soundtracks have had such a wonderful reaction and I’m hoping that this one will prove just as well-received. “Recording this soundtrack was such a special experience for me – it was amazing to be back at the world-renowned AIR studios with many of the same musicians and choir members who sang on Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. The packaging also includes a free download code that enables the customer to download the mp3s via Bandcamp. All songs have been specially remastered for vinyl and will be pressed on audiophile 180g blue and orange vinyl. The soundtrack comes in a gorgeous gatefold sleeve with original artwork by Atomhawk (who were also responsible for the Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture vinyl artwork) with a lovely spot varnish on the front cover and liner notes by creative director Dan Pinchbeck. We are excited to announce that we will be releasing Curry’s score to The Chinese Room’s upcoming Google Daydream VR game So Let Us Melt on limited edition blue/orange 180g double vinyl and CD this September 2017.
The company partnered with Frictional Games to release “Amnesia: a Machine for Pigs” in 2013 while laying the groundwork for its latest release, “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture,” a game that bears obvious comparison to “Dear Esther,” given its fixation on solitude and death.In early 2017, Black Screen Records was delighted to release BAFTA-winning composer Jessica Curry’s acclaimed soundtrack to the classic game Dear Esther on physical formats for the game’s 5th anniversary. The game’s success allowed The Chinese Room to sever its connection with the University of Portsmouth, where Pinchbeck was employed as a lecturer and researcher.
This paved the way for the top-to-bottom remake that was released commercially in 2012 and has since sold over 750,000 copies - quite a feat for a title whose investors were initially skittish about its earning potential. It was built using the Source graphics engine that underpinned “Half-Life 2.” Initially released as a free download, it was well received by the mod community. “Dear Esther,” one of most cerebral video games in recent times - about a suicidal man wandering an uninhabited island - began life as a user-created mod to a popular first-person shooter.
