For anyone interested in the music of Fable II, you might be happy to hear that it will be coming out on a soundtrack in a couple of weeks, on the 25th. A recent press release by Sumthing Else Music Works announced that they would be releasing the works of Russell Shaw and Danny Elfman closing on the end of November.

Sumthing Else has been releasing a number of soundtracks for many hit games, some of which can be previewed here, on their main page, including some music from Halo 3 and Hitman.

”We had a lot of music to record, covering many different styles including chamber, celtic, classic, quirky, pure pizzicato, atmospheric and dramatic,” said Russell Shaw, Head of Music and Composer at Lionhead Studios. “Music for the game was broken down into four distinct categories: regions, script, combat and incidentals. Each region has its own orchestral theme which changes with the seasons in each chapter. Scripted moments have orchestral cues relevant to what is happening at that point in the story – sad, dramatic, mysterious, tension and danger. The final result is a very rich, Hollywood style score covering many genres.”
