The new Firewatch Vinyl Soundtrack
I wanted to post this because I love this game and I would be so unbelievably happy if this were actually true. Keep in mind as you read this I have no evidence at the moment that what I said is actually true. Just my hopes and dreams.
So quite a while back in April I purchased 3 Firewatch posters off of eBay. I got the limited run versions of 'DEFEND', 'EXPERIENCE', and 'PROTECT'. I will admit that after I got them framed, it cost me quite a pretty penny, but I will stand by the fact that it was one of my best purchases that I have ever made, and of course it has not even begun to fizzle my desire for all things Firewatch. I have three three posters, I have also bought the pack of all of small versions of all of the other posters (I am hoping to get 'VOLUNTEER' framed soon) I have a Firewatch wall paper on my two monitors as well as my phone and my laptop, and funny enough, the Snapchat Geofilter in my town got redone, and its done with the same Firewatch artwork as my wallpaper: https://www.reddit.com/r/Firewatch/comments/5dkzdv/my_town_got_a_new_geofilter_on_snapchat/ .
But theres still one thing that I needed to get... music.
After listening to the beautiful and thoughtful soundtrack put into Firewatch, I couldn't help but need to get a hardcopy of the soundtrack for it. So I set out to browse the merchandise store in hopes of finding something, but came up empty handed.
But I begun to form an idea...
On the button for the Firewatch merchandise on http://www.firewatchgame.com/ , there's a little picture of a vinyl record. And just prior to all this, I had been listening to the soundtrack for Firewatch on YouTube which had a beautiful minimalist yellow cover art done by Olly Moss which would've been perfect for the cover of a record. I decided to email Campo Santo to see if it was at all possible that a Vinyl Record could be created for my beloved game.
Hi,
I’m a huge fan of Firewatch. I’ve been following it since it’s original announcement and took a huge interest in the development updates and the sneak peaks. I ordered the game on launch and have played through it multiple times. I think every aspect of the game is perfect, from the stunning visuals to the beautiful landscapes and of course the reason for this email, the incredible soundtrack.
Recently I purchased a set of 3 limited run Firewatch posters done by Olly Moss on eBay and am very exited to receive them so that I can frame them and hang them on my walls to admire. Now, as the title suggests, I am very interested in a hardcopy of the original soundtrack for Firewatch. I’m not making this as some request for exclusive Firewatch paraphernalia, I am solely curious as to if something of that nature will be created. I am also not just guessing about this, I have some little bits of proof that suggest that perhaps a hardcopy or vinyl edition of the original score will be created. On the Firewatch webpage I noticed that on the merchandise tab it shows a little icon of a vinyl record hopefully this is a future plan and not just an icon? I also know that Olly Moss did the cover art for the Firewatch original score (Which looks incredible as always I might add), I was curious if this would be used as the vinyl cover hopefully in the near future.
I am very anxious to hear your response on this subject because a vinyl copy of the Firewatch original score with cover art done by Olly Moss would be more than I could every ask. I would love very much to add something of this nature to my collection!
Thanks,
-(My Name)
On the next day of me sending the email, April 27th, I recieved a reply from 'Erin' at Campo Santo:
Hi (My Name),

Thanks for writing in! The team really appreciates you taking the time to tell us how much you enjoyed the game, it means a lot!
Regarding the soundtrack, we're looking into possible options for a hard-copy release, and we love the idea of getting it out on vinyl, but we don't have any concrete details to announce at this time. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

Best, Erin
Now, I may be wrong but what I think is that I have had some hand in inspiring the creation of the new vinyl soundtrack that's being released. Because sure enough, It has the same Original Score cover art by Olly Moss on it, and it is in the form of a Vinyl which has no tie to the game at all since the era it was set in would be more fitted to have casset tapes instead, as stated in the products description.
I would love to hear all input on this subject, and if you would like proof as to the sending of those emails, I would be happy to provide them; however, I am unaware of the process in doing so, so if you would provide instructions for that I will post them in this thread!
