EA doing Mirror's Edge music album News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

8 October, 2008

EA plans to sell a Mirror's Edge music album alongside the game this November. Act surprised.

The digital release, on sale from 11th November, contains six tracks, five of which are remixes by quite well known faces.

There's Armand Van Helden, who had success with "Professional Widow" and "U Don't Know Me" back in the 90s; Junkie XL, who hit fame with the Elvis "A Little Less Conversation remix"; and Paul Van Dyk, Benny Benassi, and the Teddybears, whoever they are.

The song they're all remixing is the Mirror's Edge theme by Swedish popstar Lisa Miskovsky. Apparently the people who wrote it have also produced material for Britney Spears, by which we assume they mean music and not twine.

Mirror's Edge is in development at Swedish developer DICE, better known for the Battlefield series. In the game, you fill the sporty shoes of Faith, who jumps around vibrantly-coloured rooftops from the first-person perspective.

The game's due out for Xbox 360 and PS3 on 14th November, so that's a whole three days to memorise the album. Incidentally, there's no price for it yet, but we expect it to be bundled with Collector's Editions and the like.

Head over to our recent hands-on with Mirror's Edge to find out more about the Time Trial mode.

What a wonderfully out of date lineup! On the cutting edge of 2004. Who else, Paul Oakenfold?

Six tracks? Hardly an album.

NIN's Broken is 8 tracks and that's called an EP... for some reason.

And apparently the theme track is called 'Still Alive'.

So, no confusion or plagerism there, then. ;-)

I think album vs EP vs single is defined more on the length of the whole thing rather than the number of tracks.

In fairness though Armand Van Helden has had quite a few hit singles in the last 3 years. Shame they've all been terrible happy clappy house anthems rather than the good remixes he did OVER 10 YEARS AGO (god I feel old).

I like the music from the trailers.

Sorry for not having a massive rant on teh internet. I know I'm not supposed to be reasonable or happy about anything.

Lets hope they don't include a burnout 3 style DJ/MC over the top.

Fellows, it's about using music viable to what they're trying to do, not using new tracks for the sake of it.

Plus newer tracks cost far, far much more to license. :P
