Publisher Lost in Cult is releasing a seven-disc vinyl set celebrating the work of game designer Kenji Eno, the company announced Tuesday. Titled Kenji Eno 55: Soundworks, the collection will consist of 55 tracks spanning Enos work on games like Enemy Zero, D2, and more.
According to a press release, the set will include “remastered classic soundtracks, archival recordings, and previously unreleased tracks” that tell the story of Enos career. Lost in Cult will also release standalone soundtracks for Real Sound, Enemy Zero, and D2.
Eno was a designer and composer and the founder of studios Warp Inc. and From Yellow to Orange. He was known for his unconventional approach to both game design and marketing — making an audio-only Saturn game, hand-delivering limited edition copies of Enemy Zero to fans, and going on stage at a PlayStation event and morphing the PlayStation logo into the Saturn logo to announce he was leaving Sony for Sega.
Eno died in 2013.
In 2024, YouTube channel Archipel posted a nearly 80-minute documentary looking back at Enos career, interviewing a dozen friends, family members, and colleagues including Hideo Kojima and Fumito Ueda. Its well worth a watch.
Pre-orders for Kenji Eno 55: Soundworks go live on May 5, which would have been Enos 55th birthday.
