Put on your red shoes, and dance the blues

If I said Jesper Kyd, would you know who I was referring to? You wouldn't? Well he's the driving force behind the award winning soundtrack to your favourite assassin orientated games, and a BAFTA winner in his own right.

His latest work is that of penning the original score to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Kyd stated that in writing the music for the latest in the series, he strove for something darker and more sinister to reflect the games content and story progression:

Researching the history of the Borgia Family it became clear early on that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood would require a very dark score in order to match the Borgias' aspirations to become the rulers of Italy. The music reflects the compelling story of Ezio as a Master Assassin going up against the Borgias,If you're something of a completionist, and would like to round off your purchase of the title with the full soundtrack, you'll be able to do so from November 16th when the CD releases through iTunes to coincide with the American release date of the aforementioned game.

What is it with all these bloody Soundtracks all of a sudden. Few years ago, no mention of them when they came out, now, all the time.

Somehow I never noticed the music in the other games. And making it "darker" doesn't necessarily make it better.

Somewhat off topic, but I've gotta give props for the David Bowie reference in the subtitle.

The AC music doesn't sound bad, but I'll probably pass.

B Unit, I agree!

The AC music though is amazing.

Jesper Kyd also worked on Hitman too :)

I had to do a double take when I saw the headline. That will been a major buzz kill if David Bowie was actually in the game, Haha. Not that he's bad, but in an assassin's creed game....no thanks.

So I'm sure this is an odd question but will there be sheet music for it?
Gotta love Dead Rising 2.

I have to agree. Currently listening to some Halo Wars tracks.

I'm not usually too in to the soundtracks of games but Assassins creed 1 and 2 both did pretty well. However I think that they need to start using music people actually listen to every once and a while..
