The album's 27 tracks are all written, recorded and mixed by Jim Guthrie. Sword & Sworcery LP - The Ballad of the Space Babies contains both music from and inspired the creation of the game.
Some of the songs on this record directly inspired the creation of the collaborative art+music+video game project known as Superbrothers : Sword & Sworcery EP, " a brave experiment in I/O cinema with an archetypical video game aesthetic" available for Apple's touchtronic machinery on the iTunes App Store. Other songs, like The Ballad of the Space Babies were created specifically for S:S&S EP.As would seem logical, Sword & Sworcery LP - The Ballad of the Space Babies is available through iTunes for $8.99 USD / $8.99 CAD / $16.99 AUD / £6.99, but can also be purchased at Bandcamp in both a digital form and 180g 12" Vinyl + Limited Edition Print package.
