July 11, 2013: "Man of Steel" Soundtrack Now Available as Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP Furnace Record Pressing Completes Pressing of "Man of Steel: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack"

Original soundtrack by Hans Zimmer pressed on Limited Edition 180g Double Vinyl LP.

This summer's blockbuster "Man of Steel," released June 14, 2013, has earned over $500 million worldwide. Soon fans can also rejoice over a Limited Edition Deluxe 180 gram, Double-LP Vinyl Record of the already-acclaimed soundtrack, manufactured by Furnace Record Pressing. Academy Award®-, Grammy-, and Golden Globe-winning composer Hans Zimmer took on scoring the film, which reboots the iconic story of Superman. Working with director Zack Snyder, the soundtrack combines unique musical themes and outside-of-the-box collaborations with some of the best drummers and pedal steel guitarists in the world. Zimmer brought together a 12-member drum circle, including such greats as Jason Bonham, Sheila E. and Pharrell Williams, and combined it with eight world-renowned pedal steel guitarists.

Water Tower Music, the in-house music label for Warner Bros. Pictures, chose Furnace to manufacture the film's soundtrack on vinyl. Furnace Record Pressing is a world leader in manufacturing audiophile-quality records. The soundtrack is pressed on two 180-gram LPs, and then packed into full-color gatefold jackets with a bonus download card.

"WaterTower Music is thrilled to partner with Furnace for the "Man of Steel" LP," says head of WaterTower Music, Jason Linn. "This double disc release gives fans yet another exciting way to experience the dynamic brilliance of composer Hans Zimmer. WaterTower looks forward to exploring many future vinyl projects with both Hans and Furnace."

Musicians and record labels alike are taking advantage of the recent resurgence in popularity of vinyl records. Consumers are reigniting the love affair they once had with tangible artwork and lifelike audio reproduction that cannot be found on CDs or digital download formats.

"Releasing a symphonic score on vinyl is a great treat for fans of the movie and of Hans Zimmer. The richness of this masterpiece is heightened by the warmth that the vinyl provides upon playback, and the packaging is just stunning," says Furnace president Eric Astor.

Fans of the movie and the soundtrack are able to pre-order the Limited Edition Vinyl soundtrack now at the Superman Homepage Online Store.
