3volution and Navarre make exclusive deal to distribute video game music |
Ó
Good news. We have good news for fans of video game music. Today marks the start of the commercial release of video game music to over 20 top music outlets, and music from GRAW 2 is just the beginning.3volution Productions LLC, a company that specializes in custom audio and video for video games and film, announced an exclusive three year digital license and distribution agreement with Navarre Corporation, a publisher and distributor of home entertainment, PC, and video game software (Navarre also handles DVD video and music).
Navarre will distribute 3volution's video game music. For example, today (March 6, 2007) is the commercial release of two songs from Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW 2). Navarre will distribute 3volution's remakes of "Gimme Danger" (a song originally written and recorded by Iggy Pop and the Stooges) to outlets like Apple iTunes, Music Match, Napster, emusic, Audio Lunchbox, Sony Connect, Verizon Wireless, and others. (By the way, "Gimme Danger nu Grungeopolis mix" features Frank Black, the front man of the Pixies.)
It's about time. 3volution is a noteworthy music company in the video game industry. It was founded by Platinum-selling musician and video game-fan Raymond Herrera (the drummer of Industrial metal band Fear Factory) and video game industry veteran Laddie Ervin. Some of their more famous games are Scarface, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown.
In addition to songs and remixes, 3volution also makes ambient sounds and voice-overs - so you might have already heard their work and have never known it! After all, not everybody pays attention to the music and sound effects of the games they play. But then again, a well-produced audio track isn't supposed to distract you away from the game.
The game. GRAW 2 will be released for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Windows / PC in North America on March 6, 2007 (that's today!) and in Europe on March 9 (that's this Friday!). The Sony PlayStation 3 will get its chance on June 2007. GRAW 2 comes to us from Red Storm Entertainment and Ubisoft Paris.
More music. Fans of video game music may also want to check out Tom Salta's work; he composed music for GRAW, GRAW 2, and Red Steel (Ubisoft's exclusive for the Nintendo Wii). His website lets you listen to his video game music for free.

Might have been a good idea, if it weren't for the mention of Iggy Pop.
