Sumthing Else Music Works, Inc., through a licensing relationship with Crytek has announced that the soundtrack of Crysis will be released on January 29th, 2008 to retail outlets worldwide through Nile Rodgers’ Sumthing Else Music Works record label and for digital download and iTunes. Created by film, television and video game composer Inon Zur, the score was recorded with the acclaimed Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra in Seattle. Zur's compositions feature sweeping themes, immersive setup pieces, intense action music, and "otherworldly" musical soundscapes performed by the orchestra to invoke the alien influences in the game.
