Microsoft Announces Details For Halo 4 Soundtrack

Want to get more Halo music in your life?  You won’t have to wait long.

Microsoft has announced that it will be releasing the Halo 4 original soundtrack in a number of formats starting October 22nd.  It features 15 tracks and over 75 minutes of music, composed and produced by Neil Davidge of Massive Attack.

Here are all the details, including information on an awesome new remix album and a limited edition box set…

“Halo 4” Original Soundtrack (available in physical CD and digital formats)

Available for standalone purchase of $13.98 (U.S. ERP), the “Halo 4” Original Soundtrack features 15 themes from award-winning producer Neil Davidge, co-writer and producer of the pioneering trip hop group Massive Attack. This marks the first time a new composer has taken the reins for the iconic series’ musical score since the launch of the original “Halo” game more than a decade ago.

Working in collaboration with 343 Industries, Davidge and his production team enlisted a 16-person hand-picked male tenor / bass choir plus 10 females from the London Bulgarian Choir, a full 50 piece orchestra and a whole host of other performers to bring the music of “Halo 4” to life through a massive production effort on par with a major Hollywood blockbuster.

In addition, “Halo” fans who purchase a physical copy of the Original Soundtrack will receive a free download voucher for three exclusive remix tracks and three additional Davidge tracks not included on the soundtrack but featured in the “Halo 4” game. These game pieces will not be available on any other platform other than through the physical CD purchase.
