Mondo to publish five-disc Portal 2 vinyl soundtrack album
Jerry on 2021-04-20 


Austin-based label Mondo will publish the five-disc Portal 2 vinyl soundtrack album later this year. The album features music from the physics-based puzzle-platformer composed by Mike Morasky and cover art by Alan Hynes.
The Portal 2 music score blends synthetic-sounding compositions on electronic piano, oddly modulated chip music and unusual rhythm patterns to reflect the theme of computers run amok. End credits break-up song "Want You Gone," the spiritual successor to "Still Alive," is written by Jonathan Coulton and performed by GLaDOS voice actor Ellen McLain. "Cara Mia Addio," depicting a chorus of singing turrets, capitalizes on McLain's background as an opera singer.
All three volumes of the Songs To Test By: Portal 2 soundtrack album by Aperture Science Psychoacoustic Laboratories are free download in mp3 format through Valve's Thinkwithportals website. Portal 2 is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, along with Xbox 360 (with Xbox One backward compatibility). The four-hour, 77-track digital soundtrack is streaming on Spotify.

Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following.Thinkwithportals - Portal 2: Songs to Test By
The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game.
Happy 10th Anniversary to PORTAL 2. May your day be filled with many (real) Cakes. 🍰
