Yesss! I hope it's friendly JXL though. Cos some of their music is rather dark I think..

edit: oops. I just got him confused with a band. All seems fine.. moving on.

Umm there was the elvis remix. With the soccer video clip, which did rather well.

there's a remix competition from the ssx soundtrack & beatport (where my tracks are available too):

"SSX Soundtrack and Beatport.com have teamed up to put on a remix contest for "Dark Territory." Starting on 2/22 you will be able to use 5 stems from the song that will be available on Beatport.com to create your own "Dark Territory" remix and submit it for contest entry.

5 people will be chosen to have their remix put on a new Dark Territory Remix EP, which will come out in April. Other prizes include a Nintendo Wii console and other SSX games. The contest ends on 3/22.

Be sure to check out Beatport.com on 2/22 for more information!"

i've checked out the sample of 'dark territory' so i definitely think i'll give it a shot. the record label i'm on isn't binding so i'm free to remix whatever else i want regardless of the label. also, i really wanna win so i can get a wii so i can actually get blur... :lol

otherwise i won't be able to get it...

I think I need to WIN a Wii if I want to get Blur aswell...

The album is on itunes.. the samples sound awesome. 15 tracks in total

I'm a bit disappointed that the entire soundtrack is JXL.

The music previews on iTunes all sounds good, but it's a lot of the same thing.

What made the SSX 3 soundtrack so good was that it had a few songs I'd heard before ('Higher Ground') remixed....but it also introduced a lot of new groups / songs that I liked. The Caesars, Finger Eleven, Yellowcard. The different songs made each run feel a little different from the one before.

I'm going to miss lyrical music, and having the occasional guitar riff fade in after landing an uber. That being said, if the gameplay is anywhere near Tricky or SSX 3, this will be a minor gripe.

I'm more interested in the soundtrack than the game, heh. <3 JXL

Great news, this type of music is much more fitting for SSX.
