The Luke Cage Soundtrack on vinyl is a thing of beauty

I loved Marvel’s Luke Cage on Netflix and one of the highlights was the soundtrack.

Mondo have brought out the soundtrack with collectible artwork of the bulletproof hero by Matthew Woodson. Composers Adrian Younge (Something About April) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) have combined forces to produce one of the best scores of 2016 featuring an inspired, genre-bending blend of orchestral score and 90’s hip-hop beats, filtered through the sonic lens of the works of Ennio Morricone.

It’s no surprise that the score hovers in the same terrain of the Spaghetti Westerns soundtracks of Morricone – the narrative of Luke Cage plays out like a modern Western, only set in Harlem. Muhammad and Younge have meticulously crafted one of the most unique sonic landscapes in the history of television.

Just look it. Gorgeous. I couldn’t resist and have pre-ordered my copy here.

The first physical releases of the soundtracks to Marvel’s Daredevil (Season One) and Marvel’s Jessica Jones (Season One) are right around the corner as well.
