Mondo Is Releasing A Liquid-Filled Aliens Soundtrack

Mondo Is Releasing A Liquid-Filled Aliens Soundtrack
There will be only 75 of these cool vinyl records in the world. Mondo is going to release a new version of James Horner’s Aliens soundtrack as part of “Alien Day” on April 26th. This new edition is limited to just 75 liquid filled copies.

You read that right. They have liquid inside. Does that mean if you play them too much, they will bleed? Maybe. It will certainly look amazing. Mondo says they are, “Pressed on ultra clear vinyl with Green “Xenomorph Blood” colored liquid inside.”

See it move below:

A certain number of copies will be available at a South Lamar in Austin, Texas pop-up shop on April 26th. Others will go on sale online at 11 a.m. CST. This is a collectible that you don’t want to miss out on. I wish I could get one.

You could spend hours just perusing CreativeTimeStudio’s etsy shop. They make all kinds of geeky wall clocks and other stuff from vinyl records. Many of the designs are so intricate you wonder how they did it. Below are some of the superhero clocks that we would love to have in the office.

Each piece is a unique work of art. If you want something other than superheroes, they have plenty to choose from: Star Wars, Rock bands, and more. These vinyl clocks make an excellent gift for any geek on your list.

“The First Knight” Chibi Kylo Ren Figures

The First Knight Chibi Kylo Ren Figures
Prepare yourselves for the cutest version of Kylo Ren ever. “The First Knight” is a chibi-style Kylo Ren figure that will go on sale on Sunday, March 6th at 9am SGT via wetworks.bigcartel.com!

The figure is adorable and I love the carding. The first batch is 10 pieces and 2 of them have already been spoken for. I hope he does more figures in this style. This guy is super cute. Which means it will be oh so adorable when he goes all emo and starts destroying stuff.

Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan Score Limited Edition Vinyl Set

Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan Score Limited Edition Vinyl Set
The soundtrackfor Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of those soundtracks that I have listened to about a million times. The score by the late James Horner is just perfect.

I owned this on vinyl the first time around and now I have to get it again because Mondo is releasing the score on limited edition vinyl. It looks stunning, with new art by Matt Taylor. This includes the extended score, with some new moments that didn’t make it in before. Here is the track listing:

01. Main Title (3:06)

02. Surprise on Ceti Alpha V (0:45)

03. Khan’s Pets (4:19)

04. The Eels of Ceti Alpha V / Kirk in Space Shuttle (3:53)

05. Enterprise Clears Moorings (3:33)

06. Chekov Lies (0:40)

07. Spock (1:12)

08. Kirk Takes Command / He Tasks Me (2:07)

09. Genesis Project (3:16)

10. Surprise Attack (5:07)

11. Kirk’s Explosive Reply (4:01)

12. Inside Regula I (1:35)

13. Brainwashed (1:24)

14. Captain Terrell’s Death (1:58)

15. Buried Alive (0:57)

16. The Genesis Cave (1:09)

17. Battle In The Mutara Nebula (8:07)

21. Amazing Grace (1:26)

22. Epilogue / End Title (8:41)

23. Epilogue (Original Version) / End Title (7:29)

I would own it for the art alone, but the music with the art? This is a no-brainer. It goes on sale January 13 at mondotees.com for $35. You can’t beat that price either.

Star Wars The Ultimate Vinyl Collection Original Soundtrack

star wars vinyl
Star Wars would have still been good if the music had been different, but it is Oscar-winning composer John Williams score that makes them legendary. Well now you can get the Star Wars soundtracks on Vinyl. Again. The Star Wars The Ultimate Vinyl Collection Original Soundtrack includes all six films, restored from their original masters and boasting the classic and original artwork.

The six individual albums come in gatefold jackets on 180-gram vinyl and include a digital download card for one complete box set of all six soundtracks. I fell in love with these soundtracks as a kid and it was really something magical to be able to listen to the music and re-live scenes from the movie in my head. Or maybe pretend I was being trained by Yoda in the swamp. Or outrunning TIE-Fighters. Great stuff.

Also available on Amazon.

They are groovy and geeky. Pun intended. They would look great in any mancave or geeked out home. The details are super nice and they are affordable. I’m not sure how they are cutting them so nicely, but the end result is pretty amazing.

If they don’t have the theme you are looking for they will probably make it for you.
