Electronic
Arts today unveiled the music track listing for NBA LIVE
08 set to release October 2, 2007. This year's
soundtrack features 19 songs - including 5 debut tracks - for an
unprecedented international mix of hip-hop, rock, reggae, R&B and
more.
The set includes tracks by old school legends DJ Jazzy Jeff
featuring CL Smooth and KRS-One & Marley Marl, as well as underground
hip-hop players The Cool Kids and Kid Beyond, along with 15
instrumental tracks produced by Agallah the Don Bishop. Several of the
year's most acclaimed and daring new artists make appearances,
including Norway ravers Datarock, New York City's acclaimed dance-punk
project LCD Soundsystem, and Mark Ronson with a cover of Britney
Spears' "Toxic". The NBA's burgeoning European presence is felt via
cuts from Britain's DJ Vadim, R&B sensation Joss Stone; Ska kings Dub
Pistols featuring Terry Hall of '80s legends The Specials; and the
debut of Electro-Soul collective UnkleJam.
NBA LIVE 08 is in development at EA Canada
in Vancouver, BC. The game will be available in early October for the
PLAYSTATION 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360 and the Wii(TM). NBA LIVE 08 will ship to retailers on PC in
late October.
