Mondo Will Release Every Soundtrack in the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Vinyl
Beginning with 'Ant-Man and the Wasp,' MCU music is coming for your turntables!
Vinyl lovers -- assemble! Mondo Music is bringing the soundtrack to every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to vinyl, beginning with Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man and The Wasp"! As part of a partnership with Marvel Music/Hollywood records, Mondo will offer up its unique visual style to bring the epic music of every Marvel Studios movie to this classic medium. The album, which goes on sale Wednesday, April 24 at MondoTees.com, will feature collectible artwork by Phantom City Creative that will house the red and yellow two-disc set. The soundtrack also includes 14 previously unreleased bonus tracks. Pressed on 2x 180 Gram Colored Vinyl, the "Ant-Man and The Wasp" album will sell for $35.00.
Mondo Music Record Label Manager Mo Shafeek said: “Over the last 10 years, Marvel Studios has assembled such an incredible array of composers to craft new music for their ever-expanding universe of characters... some who have already had classic themes in past incarnations, and some who never had a presence on the big screen. The roster is outrageous on paper: everyone from Alan Silvestri and Michael Giacchino, to Mark Mothersbaugh and Ludwig Goransson, to, most recently, Pinar Toprak who did amazing work on Marvel Studios' 'Captain Marvel.' We are honored to start our MCU soundtrack series with 'Ant-Man and The Wasp' (one of our favorite Super Hero themes of the last few years for us was Christophe Beck's earworm theme for 'Ant-Man') and cannot wait to see what comes next!”
Composer Christophe Beck had a very specific approach in mind for each of the main characters in "Ant-Man and The Wasp," giving new insight into shaping the musical elements of the movie:
"I had previously created a theme for Ant-Man in the odd meter of seven, which means seven beats per bar. I created a theme for the Wasp which was in the odd meter of five. Most songs and scores are written in the more traditional 4/4 or 3/4 meters. But, when more beats are added to create a complex meter, it brings a dynamic, rhythmic effect to the music which fits in with the multifaceted character of these two Super Heroes."
