Microsoft today announced that the Perfect Dark Zero Original Soundtrack album will be released in the States on November 8th to various US Retail Outlets via Nile Rodgers’ Sumthing Else Music Works label, www.sumthing.com.

The Perfect Dark Zero soundtrack will feature original music compositions and arrangements by David Clynick, who funnily enough did the music for the original Dark, with Grant Kirkhope. Clynick combined epic sci-fi soundscapes with a hypnotic, electronic dance feel for Perfect Dark Zero, and apparently it will set the pace and tone for one of the most highly-anticipated Xbox 360 launch titles.

The progressive style of the game's surreal and melodic score is complemented with adrenaline-pumping tracks written exclusively for Perfect Dark Zero by the sexy, cutting-edge band MorissonPoe and acclaimed San Francisco house music DJs, Kepi and Kat. These artists were selected by music veteran and album producer Nile Rodgers to synergize their music with the immersive gameplay action, beautiful graphics and breathtaking special effects.

Rodgers said, "The Perfect Dark Zero soundtrack is one of the tightest, most exciting, kick ass high tech/emo/groove/dance soundtracks ever to drop. It's gonna rock your world! This is the beginning of the future of game soundtracks. Perfect Dark Zero brings it." Samples of the soundtrack are now available at the official soundtrack website www.pdzsoundtrack.com.

Perfect Dark Zero is a prequel to the awesome FPS Perfect Dark that appeared from Rare’s lovely Twycoss studios for our N64s. Perfect Dark Zero is going to deliver some of the best online action since Halo 2. The game includes a delightful story mode and many different multiplayer options, such as split-screen, and co-operative action. The game is set in the near future of 2020, three years before the original Dark, players will take on the role of Perfect Agent Joanna Dark in a story full of action.
