That Old Black Magic: Digital Eel Releases VooDoo Interface, The Album!
The One Game Soundtrack Collection That Takes You Beyond Time And Space!


Hampstead, NC, 12 April 2010

You've played their award-winning games. You own all their action figures (even the banned slime spewing glow-in-the-dark Phosphorous model released only in Japan). But do you have their album?

Well no, you don't, because they haven't made one. Until now. [Insert overly dramatic music] Digital Eel, the Seattle based development trio much beloved by all indie gamers, is proud to present an awesome collection of music and ambient soundscapes that might just blow your mind.

Entitled VooDoo Interface, the full length album features the musical hepness of the Nightmare Band (Rich Carlson, William "Phosphorous" Sears, and several session musicians from beyond our Euclidean sphere). With music both from and inspired by many of their hit games (such as Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space and Brainpipe: A Plunge to Unhumanity, both published by the kind folks behind the news release you are currently reading, Shrapnel Games) VooDoo Interface is now available to download in the format of your choice.

The track line up includes:

Dr. Blob's Organism
Brainpipe I: Smetlov's Locus
Brainpipe II: Trippocampus
Brainpipe III: Cognitive Cascade
Big Box of Blox
Weird Worlds I: Jaunt Venture
Weird Worlds II: Incident
Weird Worlds III: Grand Tour
Void Probe
I was a Teenage Haircut

You may expect that a collection (not available in stores!) so full of aural awesomesauce would set you back a pretty penny. It will not. In fact, every track can be downloaded individually for the low, low price of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They're free!

But dear reader, if you want to support your favorite indie developer you can make a donation (minimum five bucks) and download the whole shebang at once as a complete album. Besides earning the gratitude of Digital Eel (who promises not to use the collected donations to manufacture a super doomsday device that will crush all life in the Milky Way) you will get such goodies as four super fantastic bonus tracks, an original hi-res CD cover by Phosphorous, and much more. We won't spoil what the bonus tracks are but we do promise that they will get your glorborx humming and your morthron clicking.

All told there is over sixty minutes of eargasm from the folks who know how to give really good ear. After all, Digital Eel won the Excellence in Audio award at the annual Independent Games Festival in 2004, 2006, and 2009.
