The original soundtrack from European post-rock collective, Zikali, has been out there for a while on the major streaming services but Sumthing Else Music Works has announced they’re once again teaming up with Ubisoft for a physical release.

Available from Sumthing Else and Amazon the 19-track album features a surprisingly emotional score to what looks, at first glance, to be an Xtreme Sportz title that fell out of 2002.

The energy of the rider is represented by a modern electric sound associated with the action; and the orchestra characterizes the different places (summits, narroe corridor or wide spaces) by the variety of its modes of play, bringing a strong emotional dimension.

The sound identity, by the way, is found throughout the soundtrack, by the use of the hang drum to which we wanted to give an important role because of its cool and captivating sounds; but also the duduk (Armenian flute with hip) which possesses a special faculty of expressivity because of its proximity to the human voice, and invites to escape. The singing and harmonic glasses of strings complete this workforce -

Zikali.com Zikali are: Jonathan Labigne, Jean Valdo-Galland, Florent Pitiot and Yann Chapelet.

You can give the whole soundtrack a listen on YouTube, Spotify, Deezer and Tidal or pick up the digital version from Google, iTunes or Amazon.
