Diehard Outrun fans will be delighted to know that the upcoming OutRun2 game will feature remixes of classic Outrun tunes by award-winning composer Richard Jacques. The composer’s musical resume is certainly no stranger to the world of video games, having worked on several compositions and remixes for such games Jet Set Radio, Samba De Amigo, and Headhunter.
The new renditions will include Magical Sound Shower, Passing Breeze, Splash Wave and Last Wave. Each classic soundtrack has been arranged and produced by Jacques exclusively for the Xbox release of Outrun2. Fans and newcomers alike can look forward to hearing a live brass section which pay homage to the original Latin flavored tunes that inspired a generation of arcade gamers.
Ben Gunstone, Senior Producer for SEGA Europe, said; "We wanted a soundtrack for OutRun2 that was appealing to both European and North American audiences whilst maintaining the heart and soul of the original tracks. I firmly believe that fans of the original tracks will embrace these new versions, and agree that Richard Jacques has done a great job."
