Aquaria: OST Launches Saturday w/ Live PJ Jam
At long last… the Aquaria Original Soundtrack is finally complete!
We’ll be launching the soundtrack on Saturday (November 14) with a live pyjama jam courtesy of yours truly! I’ll be playing all kinds of music over webcam while my beautiful assistants package and prepare your CD orders for shipping in the background.
This soundtrack is a no-holds-barred special two disc release, filled to the brim with fifty tracks. It includes all the music from the game, but also adds a brand new song, “Fear the Dark”. The talented Jenna Sharpe returned to the studio as “Naija” for the first time since finishing her work on the game about two years ago - to record brand new vocals for this track. The result is an epic nine minute piece that explores the light and dark sides of Aquaria.

In addition to the new song, the track also features three new remixes by other indie game music artists. Brandon McCartin of “Balding’s Quest” brings his imagination and funky beats to the table with his style-bending adaptations of “Dark Places” (the abyss theme) and “Heart of the Forest”. Danny Baranowsky (of Canabalt fame), who also mastered the project, contributes an upbeat, old-school flavoured remix of “Boss Fraught”. (the mini boss theme)
As an added bonus, a work-in-progress five minute “Marian” track has also been included.
The set comes together with sexy packaging designed by myself, Derek Yu and Katie De Sousa. It features 2 discs with full color labels, an eight page booklet featuring new art and lyrics, and an eight panel poster featuring visuals from the game, notes on composing the tracks, score snippets and more. There will be a few purchase options, including having your poster signed!
So come on down this Saturday, watch some live jams, order some CDs - it’ll be a fun time for the whole family. 
UPDATE: The Shop is now live.
UPDATE 2: Newer version of the Shop is up here. Signed copies still available at this address!

O_O
You seriously rock dude. But why oh why does it have to be released on the day of my first exam (and scholarship statistics of all things)? :O
I’m fully sold. How many people can I get to sign my copy? XD
I’m also going to be recommending this to all my friends and family!

As David said, can we order this somewhere and get it shipped to us? Maybe we will learn saturday at the launch.
November 12th, 2009 at 1:02 am
Order information will go up on or before Saturday.
We’re just finalizing some details so the launch will be as smooth as we can make it…

Great news! I’ve been waiting for AGES to have a CD copy - I’ve been listening to the songs almost non-stop since I got the game. Such a pity you’ll be doing live sales on a day that marks my first market selling my own wares… Hopefully I’ll sell enough to come home and buy a CD!
November 12th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Ah, such a wonderful sight. ^^ Thanks for the hard work Alec! I’ll buy it as soon as I can scrounge up the cash.
November 13th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I’d pay for just a CD full of tracks composed by Jenna/Sung by Alec

Thank you so much for this, you make my Christmas more colorful already
November 18th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Yes! Yes!!
This is delicious!
It’s been almost a full year since I first played Aquaria and this is it! This is perfect!

Wow. I just happened to check back today and the CD looks like a must-have! Love the cover-art too…
November 20th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Phew! Almost missed it! Only 6 copies of signed edition remains

has nobody realised the mp3 linked to this topic doesn’t work?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:04 pm
It works for me just fine..
November 25th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Holy crap, that cover is fucking CREEPY.
November 27th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
The glorious thing arrived one or two days ago. I felt bad bothering you about the location of the signature, and now I am startled to see silver signature ink all over the place! Wow, vandalism never looked so good. Thank you very much.
I shall be cautious with this, for it is to be a Christmas present to someone who doesn’t yet know the soundtrack exists. The secrecy! The intrigue!

I swear I will buy the OST sometime…soon…ish? Maybe?
I already got my wife an Xmas present but this would be an excellent one, too.
December 4th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
I finally got around ordering this soundtrack which I had been waiting for so long for. Looks amazing.
December 6th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Will this album be available on iTunes? It’s impossible for me to get this CD in Taiwan.
December 11th, 2009 at 11:22 am
ordered on the 22′nd, still waiting, hope to get it soon, but dang that’s some slow mail.
December 12th, 2009 at 8:55 am
[...] got the Aquaria OST, great work from Bit-Blot (or must I say Infinnite Ammo?) Me and the Package The OST The contents, [...]

I ordered on Nov 14 and I’m still waiting too. What’s the service they use again?
Canada Post, International Surface Small Packets (4-6 weeks)
Ah, that probably explains it. Doesn’t make the waiting any more pleasant though. Would it have been that much more expensive to get a faster service? I’d have paid a few euros extra for that.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:55 am
Hm. Ordered mine November 22nd. Said 6-12 business days. I hope it’s just slow and not completely lost. :I
December 14th, 2009 at 10:29 am
just got it, woo, excited to give it a listen, the soundtrack was a big selling point for the game, so i’m glad to have a portable copy now.
December 15th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Aaah! Omg.
You’re welcome, Alec. (It’s me, Michael!)
December 21st, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Bought it as soon as I got word (as well as the game, its pretty cheap)
Awesome music, loved Fear the Dark.
December 22nd, 2009 at 1:51 am
Lucky you, guys, I’m still waiting (it’s been 4 weeks already) ~_~
December 24th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Waiting for 40 days now and still counting. And I doubt anything will arrive over the holidays so the 6 week shipping time limit will be cracked.
January 3rd, 2010 at 6:00 am
The package finally arrived after 7 weeks of waiting. Listening to it right now, many thanks!
