Presented here in its first official CD release, the soundtrack from Hitman: Codename 47 features Kyd’s dynamic blend of electronic and cinematic music - which he developed further on the darker, BAFTA award-winning Hitman: Contracts score - and is the latest collectable for fans of the best-selling Hitman games. The Hitman 2: Silent Assassin score, recently celebrated in GameSpot’s A History of Video Game Music: The Hitmen of Budapest, was recorded with 110 musicians of the Budapest Symphony and Choir.

The Hitman series is developed by IO-Interactive and published by Eidos. Jesper Kyd is currently scoring the latest installment in the mutli-million selling series, Hitman: Blood Money. For more information please visit www.jesperkyd.com.
