Aside from discussing his inspirations for the score and the challenges he encountered during production, Joris also gives careful listeners a little pop quiz about a recurring theme on the soundtrack. If you’d like to purchase the album, or to listen to samples of the individual tracks, please visit the iTunes store by clicking here . Be warned, though: listening to this soundtrack can make your dull morning commute feel like an extremely dangerous military operation.

“Heavy Resistance” I head the Helghan War Drum!
Also, I hear you changed a lot of the sound? It sound much better! The Distorted… Bass? on “Flight Into Blood Maridian” wasn’t before, was it? Also, lot’s of revamps of sound it seems, like the intro for “The Police Station”
If you re-realese this game for a GOTY version, could it be passible with a physical copy?

Mario,
Thanks for the reply and the effort of trying to get it on PSN.
Wish more publishers/devs/artists would release their game-soundtracks.

I’ve wanted this for months! Its so great to enjoy a game and be able to enjoy the music as well! I have to say thank for you track 26 though because it goes so well with the final level. When I hear track 26, it gives me nightmares because the music is imposing and the level is difficult so they come together for an explosive finale to an explosive game.
