In order:

Killer Instinct Theme
Post-Game stats/Menu screen
Jago Stage sample
Character Select (basically a retread of KI2 select)

This soundtrack will be incredible.

For those who don't know, the soundtrack for the stages themselves are dynamic as shown here by Max: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQmkSWPhlNE which really sets themselves apart.

Enjoy!

 

[The Xtortionist]

Those drums :O

brb need to preorder Xbox One

.

 

[TangerineCloud]

Okay, I was totally caught off guard by this. Wasn't expecting the music to sound that great.

 

[DopeyFish]

Also for those that enjoyed the previous games music...

Old character themes will be secret/unlockable in the final game. Mick Gordon says they will be remixes, so unsure if this means just new instruments (cover) or just a new take sampling the older music.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Some slight off-putting pauses in the main theme, but that's still really quite good!

 

[big_z]

The sound effects and music in this game are some of the best in a fighter. The music is brutal and industrial while the impact sound effects make you feel like you're not hitting your opponent but crushing them to a pulp. Good stuff.

They should take the killer cuts audio and make it dynamic like the new stuff. Best of both worlds.

I believe that could also be a possibility... Maybe beanland had the old samples still kicking around? I just watched an interview with mick gordon here: http://youtu.be/reCVPwwZpqk (interview starts at 4:52) and he was saying how the music is made for beanland first and fans second. So he wants to make sure the source material gets the respect it deserves.

I thought it was weird too, but I really love the theme overall and it doesn't bother me anymore after hearing it for the 50th time.

I would probably scream if that happened.

 

[sixteen-bit]

cool tunes

 

[REV 09]

these sound great. my hype for this game is really starting to kick in.

 

[RBH]

The Character Select music is fucking great.

 

[Dai101]

 

[metsallica]

Mick is not only a wonderful musician and composer, he's an awesome, genuine guy. Been waiting ages for this sampler to release and it did not disappoint.

 

[Skab]

Side note, Mick is also doing the music for the new Wolfenstein game.

 

[Chucker]

Ugh. I really don't want to buy a One, but I really want to play this. The music is too damn good!

Enjoy!

[Kalm]

It's like getting punched in the face by 1994.

They couldn't have picked a better composer for KI.

 

[DopeyFish]

ftfy

Actually its closer to this:

Killer instinct theme 2013
Intro to "the way u move" from killer cuts (actually it isn't... I'm right now trying to figure out where that clip came from because I can't figure it out right now)
Jago theme
Character select
Match over theme from KI1

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Yeah, I really think Double Helix should add the soundtrack as Free Bonus Day One DLC to download from Xbox Music for those of us that are getting a Day One edition of the console and then a paid option after that.

 

[metsallica]

Side note, Mick is also doing the music for the new Wolfenstein game.

And it's apparently super-crunchy and brutal. He's also doing Routine, which looks great. Guy's in demand and deserves to be.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

so good

 

[Durock]

It's not from PAX on Killer Instinct Central. It was a direct upload by Mick and he provided me with the exclusive means to host it.

 

[Sponge]

Good god I have replayed this more times than I can remember.

 

[DopeyFish]

It's not from PAX on Killer Instinct Central. It was a direct upload by Mick and he provided me with the exclusive means to host it.

It was the suite he played at pax, though? I think the exclusive part here may be jago theme.

(Differences: killer instinct announced, the old KI theme, jago theme, the continue heartbeat at the end)

 

[EatChildren]

Ridiculously good. The entire audio department deserves props, because everything about this game (especially the contacts) sounds fucking awesome.

 

[Kleegamefan]

You will say wow

 

[bloodyroarxx]

Holy fuck, Jagos theme is AMAZING

 

[-MD-]

Sounds amazing.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

You will say wow

Many many times.

 

[Neo Ankh]

I must have this soundtrack. Too good.

 

[big_z]

Some slight off-putting pauses in the main theme, but that's still really quite good!

two of the pauses sound like they belong the other sounds like a sloppy cut when putting together the sample.

Ugh. I really don't want to buy a One, but I really want to play this. The music is too damn good!

pick your console based on the games you want not the circus of stupid making its rounds on the internet.

 

[SymbolicGamer]

The beats in the intro remind me a little bit of Brock Lesnar's theme. They should totally put him in the game.

 

[FortMajor]

Damn im at work. Need to hear this

 

[def sim]

This would have grabbed my attention in the arcades if that were still a thing. I like it.

 

[iLLmaticV3]

Seems to fit the game pretty well.

 

[Kyzon]

FFFFFFFUUUUUU This is really making me want an Xbone.

The music is fantastic.

 

[Scooby]

 

[FateBreaker]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

This is really good.

 

[VariantX]

Looks like the great tradition of KI games having awesome soundtracks will continue with this game as well.

 

[Raitaro]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

This is really good.

Hey, that's usually my line ;-)

I can be adaptable though: The person above me is correct! Edit: actually make that the two people above me!

Mick is doing an outtandng job so far so thank you OP for giving me another thread to post that message in!

Rock on people, rock on!

(Tum dum dum dummmm, tumm dumm dumm, pwow wow wow woooow wow woow wow woow wooooooow...)

 

[Garrett 2U]

I'm pumped for this game, music sounds great

 

[Struct09]

Took me by surprise, that's some good stuff

 

[Kintaro]

Only thing I cared about from KI was the music. Looks like that will continue. Hope the OST will be available to purchase seperately.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

That was really damn good. Wow I am impressed.

 

[RawkHawk2010]

Is this game gonna have any kind of story mode or single-player campaign?

 

[GodParticle]

Actually its closer to this:

Killer instinct theme 2013
Intro to "the way u move" from killer cuts (actually it isn't... I'm right now trying to figure out where that clip came from because I can't figure it out right now)
Jago theme
Character select
Match over theme from KI1

The first part is a remix of "The Instinct" from the Killer Cuts CD.

 

[AngelsDontBurn]

A new favorite gif.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

This dude splooging out about a increased tempo when the character "moves" is cracking me up. Yeah thats amazing!

I really do love that music. Its a shame I really disdain the way the game looks and appears to play. The animations are so dang ugly.

 

[farisr]

Killer Instinct and Quantum Break were the only two games MS showed off that were of any real interest to me. And even at that point, Killer Instinct was mainly due to nostalgic reason and I have no idea how Quantum Break is gonna play.

KI, the actual game itself doesn't look all that great to me, the dynamic music is the best aspect of it so far imo, and I would love for the next-gen Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat to implement that.

Not getting an Xbox One at launch, probably won't get it till way later in the generation due to MS probably never taking the Kinect-requirement out (I'm not against them bundling it in with every system, just against the always-connected requirement).

But yeah, I'll probably be picking up the soundtrack of this game, day one. The music was always the most memorable part of the KI games for me in the first place and this so far doesn't seem like it will disappoint in that department.
