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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laced Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50394708869451,"sku":"2056139","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d9b569ae-47bc-6343-522a-97842f2482ba_5bf3c6ee_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726446384"},{"product_id":"hitman-codename-47-original-soundtrack","title":"Hitman: Codename 47 (Original Soundtrack)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgent 47 is no stranger to carefully placed needles…  \u003ci\u003eHitman: Codename 47\u003c\/i\u003e was a relatively early score for Jesper Kyd, now a world-renowned, award-winning video game composer.

The widespined outer sleeve features a spot gloss logo on the front cover; while the three spined inner sleeves sport artwork by the Fatshark team. Darktide succeeds Fatshark’s much beloved Vermintide series with brutal co-op action set in the dystopian future of Warhammer 40,000. Composer Jesper Kyd’s many challenges included capturing the pomp and propaganda of the Imperium’s Inquisition; finding a way to represent ‘living machines’ the size of city blocks and thousands of years old in the lore of the game, but still tens of thousands of years more advanced than our own; and finding the sound of the dangerous lower levels of the Underhive. He spectacularly achieves this with characterful choral and folk instrumental performances layered among all manner of vintage analog synths, giving the whole soundtrack a rusty, mechanical but not robotic feel — all dusty data and grinding grooves. It’s a unique score that sheds the orchestral and electric guitar palettes of other Warhammer titles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laced Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50506907681099,"sku":"2004133","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a35b5fa7-0fb3-64af-d705-cebaea87e5c4_8cbdb93d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727832706"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/jesper-kyd.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
