Amanita Design forum

hallo,

we are having idea to release machinarium on vinyl. we think it could be nice as the mood of both game and soundtrack is kind of dusty, rusty, vintage. for me it just perfectly fits to the machinarium concept..

the idea is really not about money making as it should be very limited edition.
that's why i decided to ask here on the forum if anybody likes this idea and would be actually interested to buy it!

please let us know!

tomas dvorak

Hi floex,

I would absolutely want to buy the soundtrack on vinyl. Agree with you 100% that it is perfectly suited to that format.
It is a masterpiece!

H2Thyratron

One word:  YES!

I would buy it.

if the price is reasonable, definately for sure. (i know limited vinyl runs are expensive by nature though.)

I don't buy digital music (and I have the steam version so no soundtrack for me), so this would be great.

If you want it really rusty you could get it handmade, but that would probably push the costs way up.

thank you for your replies! i really appreciate it.
so we have already decided to go for it .-D
the soundtrack will be released on one independent label focusing on ambient / alternative music here in prague.
they are focusing just on vinyl releases and they have really nice catalog!
also it should be really good quality print. the same factory where eg. ECM is pressing its plates...

it will take some time thought
for sure not before christmas

tomas

Let me guess, Quazi Delict?

no:)

wow my wildest dreams come true!!

this would be so awesome!

also take care about the artwork

I also would pay more if its really a collectors item maybe with other bonus material

Well then I'd like to toss out this idea for you to think about, Tomas:

How about making it a double LP release?  That way all those tracks that your fans have been pestering you about, "The Didgeridoo Band", "The Elevator Love Theme", etc. could finally be freed from their "loop status" and flushed out into complete compositions!

Also, if it were one of those good old fold-out double LPs there would be more room to print Machinarium artwork onto the added album cover surface area.

Even if you're only going for a single LP release you could give it a fold out sleeve, and then fill the other sleeve with an artbook or something similar.
Actually could you make an artbook anyway? (unless there already is one)

I haven't got anything to play Vinyl but i will still be buying this ;) I hope it comes with some great cover art

Yeah! Its awesome idea! It absolutely catches the whole spirit of the game!!! :) ..I hope I wrote it well:D

That would be fantastic!

We propose to release Machi on BLU RAY or SACD immediately - at the price of 70 Euro for cd..
Good idea??   ;D ;D ;D ??? ???  :-\ :-\ :-\

uh..well....

If it would be a Picture Vinyl it surely would get a place in my collection.

How about some really high quality digital releases?
96/24 FLAC or ambisonics?
That would also be totally awesome.

Meocene, what would you need that for? Don't pretend you can hear the difference ;)

I would really like a vinyl!

That is a brilliant idea ! I would definitely buy a vinyl copy , for the music particularly , but also for the artwork.
I really like your music , reminds me of early Orb/Alex Paterson stuff ... electronica with soul :)

P

You are kidding right?

Frits, there's something you should know.  Below is a photo of what our friend Meocene might call, "a good turntable"...

(http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae23/ABoretz/Machinarium/ClearaudioStatementturntable.jpg) (http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/clearaudio/CAstatement.html)

Get it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambisonics)?  ;)  :D

oh lordy...

Whenever you have a friend with kit like the above, it is customary and polite to take an old dance 12" with you and perform an impromptu scratching session by way of greeting. All the better if they buy two...

Honest  :-\

As vinyl is an uncompressed format by nature, you'll have what you seek. And plus, you'll win texture. However, you can easily hear the difference between a mp3 and a CD, but it becomes pretty difficult when it comes to digital dematerialized formats, and the reason is translation. Because if you're not pro, you can't burn it right (real music CD are pressed, not burned, burning is full of errors), your computer, even with great sound cards, is not designed for playback, only for making and monitoring (except maybe some really rare cases, but the main reason is the presence of a complex OS in the process, it ca't be good for neutrality). And Digital to Analog Converters are for now difficult things to find, and a dark market. That's why I'm CD only for music (but I use iTunes for songs ^^).
So yeah, a lossless would be a good idea, even if right now it's not really exploitable. Still, mp3 is not a very good quality format... and if your computer have a decent audio output, and you have $100+ headphones, you'll hear a difference. Or at least, be able to. Many people can hear things but don't pay attention to.

As for the vinyl, if I wasn't on the go for a huge trip, I would buy it. Warmth of this media is soooo good. I hope you'll use an incredible art for the cover, full of rust. Like in the old days :)

Through my sennheiser hd 600's I don't hear the difference between a 320 mp3 and an apple lossless @ 950 cvr (both Pay No Mind from Floex's album Pocustone). Only a really miniscule difference if I go down to 256 mp3, which is what I have Machinarium in, but I'm sure there's a higher quality version somewhere.

If you're going for vinyl because of its sound could there be a cassette release too? It has its own unique distortions as it warps, something I really like.


Score!  ;D

Tomas? Anybody?
Any news on that?
It is already 2010  ::)

I got only registered due to the vinyl announcement!
Great idea for an even greater game!!!

A pre-order option would be great too!

Big thanks in advance!

HOLY POTATO !!!

i WANT one FOR SURE !!!

Hello,

Machinarium Soundtrack on 12″LP (clear yellow & black vinyl) can be pre-ordered now at Minority Records website (http://www.minorityrecords.com) and ships on February 20th.
As already announced elsewhere, each copy is signed by Tomas Dvorak himself, contains three art reproductions by Adolf Lachman, and includes digital download coupon for both MP3 (320 kbps/44.1 kHz) and FLAC download. Thanks for your support!

PRE-ORDERED !!!

hi!

thanks for the good game! Also always used to play the other "older" stuff...was facinated by it when I tryed that game the first time : )

well, my question is: how many copies of the machinarium vinyl (will) exist? are they limited for sure (!?) or does it depend on how many people want one??


Cheers peeps
respect to the founders of the game : D

µigh voltage

hi mr. or mrs. voltage!

AFAIK there are 555 copies, 405 on black, regular vinyl and 150 on yellow coloured vinyl. more info at: http://www.minorityrecords.com/releases/min25/details/

got mine, can't wait!  8)

Yeah me too, any idea as to when they'll be shipped?

Dan from minorityrecords sent me a mail telling me that it'll be sent on 20th february, the day it pops out :)

Thanks :)

1. CD-R burning have CRC, it's bit-perfect (if you want it to be, and you've mastered the track for the CD). Going from CD to FLAC to CD again I haven't got any experience with, but I'm sure you'll be hard pressed to find any audible problems. And, lets be honest, MP3's, if high enough bitrate has been used, is just fine for listening. Although, in a perfect world, everyone uses FLAC.
2. PC's can be made for playback. Just like any other studio gear out there. The OS doesn't enter into it. PCM isn't all that hard, and it's done through drivers like ASIO. How can a PC not be made for playback, if you're using the exact same AD/DA used to record the original instruments? A good DA is not at all hard to find. Get a Apogee Rosetta if you think it will make a difference. DA isn't much of a problem these days anyways, I'm sure most people couldn't hear the difference between a M-Audio, a RMI and an Apogee card.

But, yeah, if the song is made, mixed and mastered for the vinyl, it's quite something. But then again, you can get that uncompressed feel with artists who aren't a part of the mainstream loudness war regardless of medium. Can't get quite the feel of vinyl in any case, though. Together with uncompressed digital, it's the perfect format. A superiour physical medium, and also a warm and brilliant sound. Hopefully the CD will die a silent death, and we'll all be buying vinyl with a memory stick with uncompressed tracks as a bonus.

I think the point of the vinyl is for it's perfection, not imperfection. But I too enjoy the qualities you're talking about with certain types of music.

Hello!I'm a HUGE fan of Machinarium and unforunately i missed the preorder announcement for the lp.  :'(
So, is there anyone who can help me find the yellow lp? Please,I really really want this !
Machinarium rules! :D

Is it sold out already?

The clear Yellow vinyl is, but the Black vinyl is still in stock (http://www.minorityrecords.com/store/).

Yes,in a just a few days! :o
Hey amanita guys,you should have send us an info mail to us who bought the game! :P

halo,

thank you very much for all of your support!!!
we are really happy and thankful for your interest in the release.
i have been just yesterday signing all 550 peaces {huh  :o} and the cover looks really nice.
i am especially happy with the graphical prints. as you already know there are free 3 graphical peaces included inside of the cover which you can for example hang on the wall as picture.

moreover i have already listened to  the test press of the vinyl and seems everything sound really fine :D
we are anticipating the shipping of the vinyls from the press plant around the next week!


all the best!

tomas

So I was just in time :D Hihi. Ok, no, sorry, I wouldn't know where to get them except from someone on here but I think most people will want to keep it.

I was just wondering, since the game will be released on disc in English and it includes the soundtrack + 5 bonus tracks.

These bonus tracks aren't on the vinyl are they?

Anyway will any of these bonus tracks feature the music from "the band", "the wrench-robot with the radio" and the music played where "the angry fan" is?

Because I really love those too! :D Fantastic music, fantastic game!

Preordered the vinyl of course and will definetly buy the game on disc in march.

You can check out the tracklist here (http://www.minorityrecords.com/releases/min25/details/).

Guess that's a no then ;) Already checked that tracklist so it seems it will be the same tracks as the downloadable soundtrack I got with the game.

Found the "missing" tracks through another thread though! :D Just love the one with the "Outside Elevator"! Interesting to hear the versions that plays IN the game too. Even in most of them are meant to be looped.

I'm curious if the bonus tracks on the real CD will get the soundtrack treatment aswell. That is not looped and some with a bit more rhythm :)

Just noticed something in the track order on the vinyl. Has anyone else noticed this?
Because it's a bit different from the downloaded soundtrack order.

1. The Bottom (5:30)
2. The Sea (3:54)
3. Clockwise Operetta (3:54)
4. Nanorobot Tune (3:07)
5. The Mezzanine (2:15)
6. By The Wall (5:04)            <------------------- By the Wall?
7. Mr. Handagote (3:17)
8. Gameboy Tune (4:37)
9. The Furnace (2:58)
10. The Black Cap Brotherhood Theme (1:50)
11. The Prison (2:34)
12. The Glasshouse With Butterfly (3:36)
13. The Castle (3:37)
14. The Elevator (3:20)
                                        <--------------------No The End (Prague Radio)?


http://www.minorityrecords.com/releases/min25/details/
     

By The Wall is a bonus track from the free bonus EP. A really good track that I was suprised was left off the original soundtrack.

I noticed that technically there is more music here than can 'comfortablly' fit on 2 sides of vinyl ... unles this is a double it looks like they're squeezing about 27 mins on each side :-\

hi, we have been squeezing the vinyl to the maximum, but definitively not on the expense of the quality!!!

that's why we put away the "radio song" and shortened the elevator song (there are not these sounds in the tail of the song).
i put the wall song there because i somehow had feeling it could work there... and there was still space for it. it has something to do with the A, B side for me also....

as for the digital download.
in any way you don't miss any of the mentioned songs, either you get it with the game or with the free bonus EP.
http://machinarium.net/blog/2009/11/22/free-machinarium-soundtrack-bonus-ep/
you also get full package of the music as the part of the vinyl order (the download password is inside of the cover) in mp3 or flac.

the vinyl was pressed (vinyl mastered) in hi quality company in Germany (as i have already mentioned eg. ECM uses their facilities to print their titles), this process (transferring the master to the vinyl record) is very important to achieve the good quality of sound of course so we have been carefully choosing the company for it. btw. we have been also remastering the whole soundtrack because there are different needs for such records. (for example the bass frequencies have to be mono, the hi-end works also different then cd).

i have been already checking the test press and everything sounds good! the speed is of course 33rpm as it is LP.

hope it clarifies everything!

all the best

tomas

Thanks for the clarification of everything Tomas! :)

I'm really happy that By The Wall is on the vinyl because it's one of the most beautiful tracks in machinarium.

It's nice to see that you've really put an effort in making the vinyl really good quality. Much appreciated! :D

I am so very much looking forward to listening to it when I get my copy! :)

Thank you for making such wonderful music to such a wonderful game!

Machinarium is really a great piece of art!

Hmm, looks like it's been delayed - "out February 27th".

BTW, I haven't find any detail on shipment method.
I am going to ask them via e-mail, does anyone know something more?

Well, considering the normal shipping cost i guess it will be with the normal posting method.Not private courrier etc..

Ahh ok then, didnt see that. Yeah that's good you're keeping quality in mind.

Also very interesting about the low frequencies having to be in mono. I've just started to study audio/sound engineering so i'll have to ask my teachers about this.

I've been wondering if something I read on the Amanita Blog was true regarding the Yellow vs. Black vinyl prints of the LP...
Someone (http://machinarium.net/blog/2010/01/11/machinarium-soundtrack-vinyl-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-4149) on the blog wrote that "Black vinyl generally sounds better."

Is this true?  (and does it, ultimately, really matter??)  ???

To extreme audiophiles, yeah it probably matters, but really I don't know. They say coloured vinyl generates more surface noise than black, and picture vinyl is even worse. (this I can attest to!).

Αnyone who is intrested, i'm looking for the "bad" yellow one!  ;D

It might be that they cut the LP then colour it yellow afterwards. I'm pretty sure this is what they do with normal picture vinyls.

Vinyl itself is not colored, plastic is almost transparent... Usually they mix color (instead of carbon black) to pvc before pressing the record.
I am pretty sure the clear yellow record is semi-translucent :)

Yeah, it is, I got it today :) It has nice artwork indeed although not very big (I think the inside cover itself is the best actually, with a picture of the wall scene), and it sounds great.

can you post some photos?

Sure. Sorry about the (very :S) bad quality, I don't have a good camera ;) You'll get the idea.

JUST GREAT!!!

To those wondering, yes a Black Vinyl would technically sound "better" in that the material would last longer and deteriorate slower than plastic. However, I personally think anyone who bought the Vinyl to listen to it is really fooling themselves. It's a novelty collectors item, a very high quality one at that, but you get FLAC and 320kbps mp3 of the songs too with the vinyl, so anyone who bought the vinyl "because it sounds better" is a music snob just looking for a trend that isn't there. True "Audiophiles", who spend hundreds to thousands on gold plated cables or stereos with twenty different dials who can "hear the difference" are just sickening. That isn't a music lover, that's a noise critic with a large ego.

Back on the topic however, I got my yellow Vinyl in the post today and will be happily enjoying the songs on my iPod :) Great packaging, sleeve, brilliant looking vinyl and cool art cards. Well worth the money.

Oldmeme, i totally agree with you!And btw, i'm so jealous!The yellow vinyl is SOOOO beatiful!

oldmeme, I can see only one random blog poster stating he chose the black one, so about the audiophiles/sound freaks, well I guess we can just let them be.

I bought the black vinyl because the clear yellow vinyl was sold out :)
BTW to those wondering, it's not vinyl vs "plastic", it is the same material, PVC aka vinyl.

Anyway, I dont think I'm going to play it more than once, just can't wait to have it here :) .

HI AGAIN!
damn I totally forgot to buy it!
But I only want the yellow Vinyl!? Can someone help me pls!

Did u put one copy on the side or sth...would be so cool
cheers

(mr btw ; )

Congrats, Floex! Machinarium's music is one of my all-time favorite soundtracks and a huge part of that game's magic. ★

Hope you can return to work on Machinarium 2 soon enough :)

Got it!
Sent 3 March, arrived here in Milan 5 March :) Priority mail.

Oh and BTW, my copy is #433 out of 555. Hurry up!

Just received it today!Simply beautiful!Even the black one.And great packing btw..
Now i'm waiting the retail version from play to complete my machinarium collection! :)

Got mine too a few days ago. Also the black one, number 150 :) Nice and low.
It's really sounds great and artwork looks beautiful!

Post retracted. =op

I was really curious about this myself, so I'd asked my younger brother who works at the semi-famous record store Vintage Vinyl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_Vinyl) whether or not a translucent and/or colored record would sound any worse than a regular black record.
Quoted below is his response, which was interesting to say the least...

"Are blue cotton underpants better than red cotton underpants?
Vinyl is vinyl. period. Colored, Picture discs, it's all vinyl, and it all sounds the same.
Records nowadays are being pressed in "180 gram virgin vinyl."  All that means is that they're heavier. Do they sound better? Once again, it becomes a question of what are you listening to it ON? One person's stereo is going to sound better than somebody listening to a record on a Walgreen's one-speaker turntable.

Colored vinyl/picture discs are more sought-after because usually they are printed in lesser quantities, making them more desirable to collectors.
But as I said, all vinyl, regardless of color, sounds the same."

I'll be receiving the black one in the mail soon enough. Yeah, the translucent yellow one was already sold out when I'd finally gotten around to placing my order, but I hadn't really cared for its look anyway. If you ask me, regular old black vinyl is a much better and more appropriate fit for the game; translucent yellow vinyl doesn't exactly help to convey the image of a shabby and dusty vintage record. Just my two cents. =o)

Hmm. I bet you wouldn't say so if you could grab a yellow one.

Still, I kind of agree with you (since I couldn't either)  :P

Just kidding :)

To make it really fit it would have to come covered in dust, with a few scratches already in place  ;)

And you'd have to play it on an imperfect machine.

Are those English words? What do they say?

It could be english, but if it is it's too warped to hear any words.
(English is my first language)

I assumed that it was supposed to sound like speech without meaning anything - maybe that's what the robots sound like when they talk.

Hey Tomas, are all vinyls gone ? I would love to have a signed vinyl

http://www.minorityrecords.com/store/

Yellow prints are gone but black ones are signed as well. Hurry up :)

If there is a Machinarium 2 could you please put in a karaoke bar?

Fuckin A !! Bought it right away Tomas is my hero music composer. PLEASE MAKE MORE MUSIC FOR MY AMBIENT-MELODY LOVING BRAIN !! :D

Can Someone from Australia tell me how long it took them to receive there LP - starting to wonder if mine has been sucked into a worm hole  :-\

Well I got my record today - a Month after it was posted - it had travel the world nearly - it went to the USA then to Canada then to Australia - and even then the postal retards sent it to the wrong house 4 streets away

Haha :) Thank you for the update, I am glad about this!

Well, if it is a yellow print, I bet you are the very last guy receiving it  8)

I just HAD to buy this.  I don't even have a turntable yet!

edit: Just bought a brand new Pro-Ject Debut III audiophile TT today.  I can't wait!



Tomas, YOU DA MAN!

Hello,

Machinarium Soundtrack on 12"LP is out-of-print now, however, if you're newcomer to this forum, there's still a chance to grab a copy at one of Minority Records resellers that stocked a few copies. These retailers are:

UK
Norman Records:
http://www.normanrecords.com/records/115634

Benelux:
Mandai Distribution:

Good luck finding it still on sale!

Daniel

At Norman Records, Staalplaat and Experimedia, the soundtrack is now sold out.
Mandai Distribution have still two copies in stock, maybe some more in their stores.
Monotype Records still seems to sell it, but don't know how many copies they have.

Upon my knowledge, at Staalplaat they still have 3 copies left (black vinyl), however, the album is not yet listed on their site. Simply, do let them know and they will confirm the selling price.

best,

Daniel / Minority Records

Ok, I've just supposed that Staalplaat and Experimedia haven't it anymore according to their websites. Thanks for clarify that :)

Staalplaat have recently listed Machinarium Soundtrack LP in the online shop and it's still available.

Here I must reiterate that Daniel (minority_records) is one awesome person!  ;D
It was a real pleasure dealing things out with him when things didn't work out as planned (shipping for instance).
In the end I got my vinyl and a nice Christmas present (so early?!)

So, Thank you again.  :)

Hi Guys,
today my copy of the Machinarium Vinyl arrived...what what a wonderful box!  ;D

I bought it from Mandai Distribution, they were very fast and now I'm listening it :D

copy 100/555 in my hand :D

Apparently, there is still one copy at Monotype Records, if someone is trying to find it ;)

Its already  - mine  :P  ;D
Delivered next week ...

UPD
Yeahhhh!
That all! I have it - #38
Thank you, Tomáš !  ;)

I don't suppose there will be a 2nd pressing?

Try asking Daniel (http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,715.msg5360.html#msg5360) of Minority Records (http://www.minorityrecords.com/) at   info -at- minorityrecords -dot- com
(please let us know if you hear back and what the story is)  :)

Just for fun and to know how these discs have been spread over the world, I've set up a table to list Machinarium vinyl owners,  where they are from, and where they brought it. Add you to the list! :D

done it  :D

Thanks, but wait, you have number one? ???


The # column is for the handwritten number of the disk. I move you to #100 ;)

oh sorry, did not understood that I had to write it on the right number of the column, thuought that I could write it wherever I want  :o
sorry!  :D

let me correct it  :)

ahhh, how could i have not noticed such a great oportunity to buy a vinyl, and now its sold out.

I wonder if there will be rerelease of the vinyl again?

Five posts down I posted contact info where you can write to ask.
(let us know if you ever hear back)

Post this link on discogs.
Over 21 have a yellow and 9 black.
May be someone will write itself to the list...

Hi!

i guess you might be interested in reading this www.minorityrecords.com/news.

Hi,

When you say the reissue has a "different color on the rear side of the jacket" do you mean the olive-coloured part on the back with the track list and other information? Is the rest of the artwork on the covers and art cards the same as previously?

Thanks.

Hello,

exactly, the olive-coloured part has been changed to brown coloured while the rest remains the same, and the total number of copies also changes to 245. To sum it up, the rest of the artwork is the same including three art inserts.

best,

Daniel

Hello,
I'm from Serbia and I want to buy Machinarium soundtrack on vinyl, but there is a problem, in Serbia doesn't work paypal option. Do you have some suggestions for me how to slove that?
Or maybe if someone will travel across Serbia this summer may bring me one and be my guest in Novi Sad (I can arrange free accommodation for Exit festival fans :)

All the best,

Hi!

Is there any chance for new edition of Machinarium on vinyl?

Best regards,
Maciek

Minority Records proudly presents brand-new edition of Floex's (Tomas Dvorak) 14-song soundtrack to the Machinarium point-and-click adventure game by Amanita Design. The 5th edition is the very first edition on 180 gram vinyl, as always pressed on high-quality vinyl by Pallas in Germany. In addition, as many of you asked for in the past, this album is again available on coloured vinyl - on clear orange vinyl, to be exact.

This new edition as all the previous ones contain three 29 x 18 cm art reproductions by Adolf Lachman, but for the first time contain 30 x 30 cm full coloured inlay instead of printed inner sleeve (in order to keep vinyl protected in polylined inner sleeve) and features a coupon with a code to download FLAC only version of the album.

Also, all orders placed at Minority Records online store http://store.minorityrecords.com receives immediate album download option in FLAC, ALAC and MP3 formats and LP is sent out your way via airmail either the same or the next day (applies to working days).

Thank you for your support this year and I wish you all merry Christmas time and happy New year!
