Jazz classics remixed for crime epic.

Rockstar Games' forthcoming crime saga L.A. Noire gets two star-studded soundtrack releases, the developer has confirmed.

The official soundtrack includes an original score recorded at London's Abbey Road Studios by Paul Hale, who was also responsible for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World's music.

Woody Jackson, who composed a number of themes for Red Dead Redemption, is also contributing.

On top of that, the soundtrack also features over 30 jazz classics from the likes of Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Thelonious Monk.

A second release, titled L.A. Noire Remixed is also planned, featuring six remixes of tunes from the main soundtrack by a number of DJs and producers including Dave Sitek, DJ Premier and Truth & Soul.

Both sets are available on iTunes from 17th May, a few days ahead of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game on the 20th May.

Play.com is apparently giving away the Soundtrack as a pre-order bonus, so do you think you'd be getting one of these? From the sounds of it, its just music 'inspired' by LA Noire, not the actual one. However, if the music is anything like the music in The Saboteur, I would definitely consider shelling out for the soundtrack.

Man, I don't even like Jazz all that much, but this still sounds really cool!

I am praying that this game is going to be good.

Ah, good stuff - jazz is sadly under-represented in games. Well, it's sad for bearded jazz fan anoraks like me anyway.

The GTA4 jazz station was pretty decent actually - there's nothing quite like mowing down a row of old ladies in a dumpster to the sound of a mental John Coltrane sax solo. No really, there isn't.

The words "jazz classics" and "remixed" in the same sentence makes me a sad bebopper indeed.

The names don't mean anything to me but I'm figuring the remix version is for those with a dubious taste in music.
