A new original soundtrack for Halo 4 and a special edition remix album will be released on October 22. The soundtrack is from composer Neil Davidge while the remix album combines the works of DJ Skee, Sander Van Doorn, Apocalyptica, and Hundred Waters. I feel like at this point I could just make up any DJ name and no one would question it, so I’m going to go with DJ Snazzy Boots. Or should it be Bootz? Can you get too much of the letter ‘z’?
The original Halo 4 soundtrack contains 15 tracks and around 75 minutes of music. Will we get something similar to past Halo soundtracks with their love of alien choral music? I sure hope not. Space can’t just have choirs, but I bet there is a lot of drama in space glee clubs. I’m rooting for some alien polka. That music transcends species. It just speaks to me.
Players who purchase the original Halo 4 soundtrack will receive a voucher that will give them access to three remix tracks and three original pieces that are not a part of the game. To get your hands on the 14 track remix album, you’ll have to lay down a good chunk of change (around 50 pounds) for the Special Edition 2-Disc Box Set. You’ll get both soundtracks, an art print, a shirt for your Xbox avatar, and some other sundries. Maybe if you ask nicely you’ll get to see Master Chief with the helmet off. After that whole Metroid thing, I’m betting Master Chief’s a girl. Yes, yes, she has a deep voice, but maybe she has a terrible cold and that’s why she keeps the helmet on. What a considerate gal.
