Announced this morning, Sumthing Else Music Works, via its licensing relationship with Gearbox Software, will be releasing the Borderlands Original Soundtrack featuring the original musical score from the game. From the official press release:

The album will contain tracks from the game composed by Jesper Kyd, Sascha Dikiciyan, Cris Velasco and Raison Varner as well as bonus music tracks by these artists and Tim Larkin. The Borderlands Original Soundtrack is released on December 8th to retail outlets through Sumthing Else Music Works, and will be available for digital download on Sumthing Digital and iTunes®.

Borderlands Audio Director Raison Varner had the following to say:

The Borderlands soundtrack was a tremendous collaborative effort between Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan, Jesper Kyd and myself. From the very beginning we wanted to provide a score to Borderlands that would stand out as unique and fresh. Borderlands spits attitude from the opening scene until the end of the game and we needed to match that energy. I hope that listeners will enjoy the mix of ethnic instrumentation, heavy electronic influences and driving beats that help keep Borderlands in your face all the way through!

As Loading Reality wrote in its review of the game, "Gearbox also did a great job with the game's audio. Although it's disappointing that there are hardly any voice-overs in the game, you'll quickly ignore that fact since the music, the creatures, and the guns sound excellent."
