Halo music fans rejoice, for the original soundtrack for the newest outing of the franchise, Halo: Spartan Strike, has just been released! Composed by Tom Salta (Red Steel, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon 2), the music for the top-down shooter that has launched for Windows 8, iPhone and Steam is now available for purchase on iTunes, Xbox Music and several other digital music outlets by 343 Industries
Salta is no stranger to the Halo series. He worked on Halo: Spartan Assault also and is continuing the work he started on there with Strike. The score was recorded with the New York Film Chorale and Macedonian Radio Symphonic Orchestra and features solo performances by celebrated musicians Jillian Aversa (vocal) and Steve Ouimette (guitar).
“Tom continues to be a great partner for our franchise, and has crafted a stunning musical offering that enhances the overall mix of the game and captures the sonic essence of the Halo experience,” said Paul Lipson, Senior Audio Director at 343 Industries.

Huh. Can’t say I was terribly interested in this (I’ve not generally been a fan of the non-mainline Halo game soundtracks), but I do love Jillian’s voice. I’ll have to give it a shot just for that. 🙂
Thanks for the heads up.
