Despite the rather mixed and unsavory reviews of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ubisoft is still fighting the good fight in support of their third-person shooter adventure. This time Ubisoft has partnered with Laced Records to release the games original soundtrack on deluxe double vinyl.
As many of you already know, Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a military shooter set in a diverse, hostile, and mysterious open world that you can play entirely solo or in four-player co-op. The original score was composed and recorded by legendary rock producer and multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes (formerly of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures) and electronic music artist Alessandro Cortini (formerly of Nine Inch Nails). Drumming on the soundtrack was provided by producer-percussionist Norm Block. The music is deep, dark, and dirty, seamlessly blending brooding ambience, atmospheric rock and simmering synths.
28 tracks specially mastered for vinyl will be pressed onto two audiophile-quality, heavyweight 180g discs, and housed in a deluxe spine sleeve with two printed inners. Sleeve artwork was created by Yann Orhan, Paris-based graphic designer, photographer and director.
“I loved every moment of creating this soundtrack with my super talented friends Alessandro and Norm. Immersing ourselves in the Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint world and reacting off it and each other was an amazing experience. It’s definitely some of my favourite music I’ve ever been a part of,” shared Alain Johannes, Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s composer.
Alessandro Cortini, Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s composer, also commented that “it was magical to work with such inspiring musicians and friends and to be given the chance of creating the sonic landscape for the game.”
If you’re thinking about getting your hands on this soundtrack, it can be pre-ordered via www.lacedrecords.com (www.lacedrecords.co outside of the USA) and will ship on September 2020.
