The best soundtrack of 2016.

S U R V I V E’s Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein’s score for Stranger Things was yesterday crowned best New Release in The Vinyl Factory’s 2016 soundtrack round-up, which also gave Data Disc’s Streets of Rage 2 the number one spot in the Reissues award.

Our justification was that little else this year, in the world of soundtracks anyway, became classic as instantly as Stranger Things.

“One of the biggest challenges of scoring television is creating a title theme that hooks and hooks. Not since Twin Peaks and ‘Laura Palmer’s Theme’, can we recall a main sequence that has commanded such a strong presence, been so versatile in its application and also just sounded so damn addictive to the ear,” reads our review.

The score comprises of over 70 themes and cues, which have been split over two volumes. A dozen or so vinyl variants of Vol. 1 have been lined up, with Vol. 2 hitting shelves next year, along with a 4xLP limited edition, collecting both volumes.

We got hold of Invada’s split red and blue vinyl edition for a closer look:
