Video Gaming News - July 2005
Burbank, CA (July 28, 2005) - Sumthing Else Music Works today
announced the Conker: Live and Reloaded Original Soundtrack.
From Sumthing Else Music:
The soundtrack album will be released on August 2nd at the suggested retail
price of $15.98 to US retail outlets through Nile Rodgers’ Sumthing Else Music
Works label www.sumthing.com,
the industry leader for licensing and distributing videogame soundtracks.
The Conker: Live and Reloaded Original Soundtrack features original musical
compositions and arrangements by Robin Beanland who is best known for his music
in Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Killer Instinct, and Jet Force Gemini. Nile Rodgers,
the music veteran and album producer said, "Robin's music for Conker: Live and
Reloaded runs a zigzag course from snaptop groove guitar rock to wildly funny
operatic parody.” Rodgers also performs guitar on the cut ‘Surf Punks.’
Furthermore, the soundtrack sports exclusive performances from guitar virtuoso
Dweezil Zappa, son of the legendary Frank Zappa, and electronic dance trio
Rabbit In The Moon. Commenting on these collaborations Rodgers said, “When I got
a copy of Robin's track ‘Surf Punks’ I asked Dweezil if he wanted to play
somebody else’s song with me as a duet. He said cool and we just went into the
studio and ripped it. I really respect people who can interpret other people’s
music.”
Rodgers added, "Rare really took a cutting-edge leap by having Rabbit In The
Moon remix and perform ‘Rock Solid’. On the streets RITM are known for their
over the top live performances as well their infectious beats.’’
Packaged with the CD is a free bonus DVD featuring exclusive bonus tracks, a
hilarious “mockumentary” tracking Conker’s illustrious career, exclusive desktop
wallpaper and other Conker: Live and Reloaded content.
Release of the soundtrack follows the arrival on June 21, 2005 of gaming’s
notoriously naughty squirrel—Conker— in an all-new Xbox Live-enabled team-based
shooter, Conker: Live and Reloaded. The game features intense Deathmatch and
Campaign story line modes via Xbox Live and System Link, and players can compete
as one of six combat specialists across multi-mission campaigns covering Old War
and Future War. The warfare promises to deliver the non-stop action, humor, and
innuendos Conker is famous for. In addition, the critically acclaimed
single-player game, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, has been completely recreated for Xbox
with stunning graphics, true 5.1 music and audio mixes and unparalleled
attitude. For more information visit
