Following the release of the Disney+ Original series, “X-Men ’97”, Hollywood Records has announced that it is releasing the soundtrack to the series on Vinyl Record.

The highly anticipated series is as fun, thoughtful and emotionally charged as the original X-Men: The Animated Series, while being reimagined for a new generation of fans. But matching the energy, tone of the original was dependent on nailing the sound, and that clearly was top of mind for the series composers The Newton Brothers.

The Newton Brothers have produced an incredibly dynamic collection of music – from tackling the implications of serious political allegories, deep emotional truths, all while still embracing the fantastical surprises present in this universe (such as being sucked into a video game). “X-Men ’97” proves you can balance creativity and honouring legacy in interesting and original ways.

Mutant Co-Founder Eric Garza said in a statement regarding the release:

“Meeting expectations is hard. Exceeding them is even harder. ‘X-Men ’97’ makes it look effortless in nearly every way, including the music. Featuring an excellent and faithful update to Ron Wasserman’s original classic ‘X-Men: The Animated Series’ theme, the Newton Brothers work on this series is brilliant.

Across 40 tracks and 80+ minutes, The Newton Brothers craft a soundscape that includes giant sweeping orchestral and synth-driven cues that could comfortably exist in any day of future past. It’s a bold and epic body of work worthy of Marvel’s merry mutants. We’re proud to celebrate this incredible series with the premiere vinyl soundtrack release on 2x 140-gram color vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket boasting gorgeous new exclusive artwork by the astonishing Phantom City Creative.”
