Late
last week, Sumthing Else Music Works announced that, through its
licensing relationship with Capcom, it will be releasing Street
Fighter IV Original Soundtrack
and Resident
Evil 5 Original Soundtrack
(yes, those are actually the proper names, we
didn't miss a “the”
in the titles) tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26th.
These will be the first official North American retail releases of
Capcom's soundtracks, just two of a few to come as part of Capcom's
recently
announced partnership
with Sumthing Else.
Street
Fighter IV Original Soundtrack (or
Street
Fighter IV OST)
takes all of your favourite backing tracks from the game's intense
fights, reflects the Street
Fighter
characters' international styles, and “offers exciting new
directions for classic Street
Fighter
melodies”. Created by composer Hideyuki Fukasawa, the songs in this
two-disc set
should
be enjoyable for both long-time fans of the franchise and newcomers
as well. You can check out some of the tracks for yourself at the
Soundtracks' official
page
on Sumthing Else's website.
Also,
as if scaring the crap out of yourself while playing the game wasn't
enough, you can now relive the horror of the most recent Resident
Evil title
at home, on the road, or
maybe even in in bed as you try to fall
asleep (good luck) with Resident
Evil 5 Original Soundtrack (Resident
Evil 5 OST).
This collection of songs and sounds from Capcom's recently released
action-horror game, arranged by composer Kota Suzuki, will be
released as a three-disc set. You can find a number of tracks from
the Soundtrack available for listening at its official
page
on Sumthing Else's site as well.
Sumthing
Else has not announced how much the soundtracks will cost. However,
the prices will be listed on their pages when the soundtracks become
available for purchase tomorrow. Both soundtracks will be shipping to
retail stores tomorrow, and will be digitally available for download
via Sumthing Digital, at www.sumthingdigital.com,
and iTunes. For more information on Sumthing Else Music Works, check
