Review: Part of the wider Megami Tensei video game franchise, Persona 4 is a 2008 role playing title that hit Japan, and made a huge impact, in 2008. Set in a fictional version of the Land of the Rising Sun's countryside, players adopt the character of a high school student who moves to the small town of Inaba from the city to experience rural living for 12 months. Mysterious murders ensue, and it's up to you - or whoever's got the PS2 controller - to work out what's happening. It's typically deep dive stuff for a country that has always had a very unique relationship with video games. Atlus, the developer, already had a reputation for making beloved scores for its titles, and this one is no exception, although broke the mould compared with preceding instalments in the saga. Way more upbeat, it's a mixture of bubblegum dance pop, chip music, high intensity synth rock, urban-hued J-pop, and 'toon jazz.

Review: The Persona 5 Megamix Vinyl Soundtrack distils the essence of the game's legendary audio into one electrifying album. It's a curated selection that pulls from hours of jazzy, stylish and emotionally charged music that defines the whole mood and aesthetic of the game. From iconic bangers like 'Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There' and 'Last Surprise' to atmospheric gems like 'Beneath the Mask' and 'Rivers in the Desert,' these tracks brim with hooky musical character and also plenty of narrative weight. With remixed album art by Drew Wise, this is a sleek, essential tribute to one of gaming's most unforgettable soundtracks.

Review: Persona 3 Reload reimagines Atlus' iconic RPG with updated graphics, gameplay, character designs, and new music. The soundtrack pays homage to the original's late-2000s style while infusing modern elements, creating a unique blend. 'Reloaded' tracks cleverly reference the original tunes while introducing fresh elements for a captivating experience. With Persona's signature swagger, the Atlus Sound Team explores diverse genres like opera, hip-hop, and house. The Persona 3 Reload 4xLP by iam8bit features the Reloaded soundtrack on stunning Holographic Broken Glass Vinyl, ensuring the premium mastering treatment for tracks like 'When the Moon's Reaching Out' and 'Aria of the Soul.'
