HITMAN CONTRACTS
SCOOPS BAFTA GONG
Copyright 2005 BAFTA
[ March 6th 2005 ]
The original
soundtrack from Eidos' #1 selling videogame HITMAN:
CONTRACTS, composed and produced by Jesper Kyd,
has been awarded best "Original Music" at the
2005 BAFTA Games Awards (www.bafta.org). The award
honours the best original music score within an
interactive videogame, recognising excellence
in composition, production and integration.
The soundtrack
to HITMAN: CONTRACTS features Jesper Kyd's distinct
blend of minimalist electronica and dark orchestral
and choral grooves. The soundtrack CD is available
through Sumthing Else Music Works (www.sumthing.com)
and has garnered widespread acclaim as one of
the truly groundbreaking original albums from
a videogame. "Many have tried to turn a video
game soundtrack into a musical experience. But
few have succeeded in creating a coherent, satisfying
listening experience as well as Jesper Kyd," noted
EQ Magazine.
HITMAN:
CONTRACTS takes you into the mind of Agent 47,
the most ruthlessly efficient contract killer
in history. Enter a world of crime, sin and greed
as Agent 47 encounters his greatest adversaries
to-date. HITMAN: CONTRACTS explores the dark psychology
of killing for a living and is the darkest, most
disturbing episode in the series. Developed by
IO Interactive, the videogame is available on
PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
