Jesper Kyd (Gate) - Hitman: Codename 47 - O.S.T. (Gate) [LP]

Agent 47 is no stranger to carefully placed needles... Jesper Kyd and the team at IO Interactive agreed to change instrumental direction for the intentionally more grand and mainstream sequel Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. Plunging headfirst into the world of orchestral melodrama, Kyd worked with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and Hungarian Radio Choir to imbue the second Hitman game with a sense of strife and splendour. His signature style is still intact in the live recorded orchestrations: strong melodies, catchy rhythms and harmonic influences from all over the globe. The early series' trademark groovy electronica fills out the soundtrack, incorporating world music elements to suit 47's globetrotting escapades.
