Sample some music from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Is your body ready for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel? I know mine is! While we can expect all manner of shooting, looting, and explosions, we can also expect some awesome tracks. The first Borderlands didn’t really do much for me in terms of audio but the second one more than made up for it. The music was fantastic! Want to listen to the soundtrack for the upcoming game? Stick around because REASONS!

The music for The Pre-Sequel will be composed by Jesper Kyd. He worked on the music for Borderlands 1, 2, and Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep – the best Borderlands DLC to date (in my humble but 100% correct opinion). He was asked to describe his music for the upcoming game (via Gamezone).

“There are no traces of real instruments, everything is made with analog synths, drum machines and old gaming consoles. The music is my take on 1980s sci-fi music and electronic music and there’s everything from Commodore 64 and Sega Megadrive instruments to massive analog synths and vintage drum machines. It’s basically a headtrip through 1980s film-inspired electronic synth scores with my own twist on that genre.”

The good news is that you can listen to some of soundtrack before the game even launches, right now in fact, over on SoundCloud.

You can also pre-order the album right here. It will be launched there, as well as on Amazon and iTunes, on the 30th of September.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be hitting our shores on the 17th of October, landing on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Admittedly, I first saw the game as a needless cash in on the Borderlands name – IE, more of the same really. I’ve since decided that more of the same isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I will definitely be picking the game up. I look forward to impersonating Schmaptain Schmamerica as Athena!

        I wouldn’t wanna be sued by Claptrap though. Most. Annoying. Legal. Battle. Ever.

            My first playthrough as Zer0 I was pretty sad for the guy. Then when I was dancing around with Gaige and I had a particularly AWESOME robot, I stopped feeling much sympathy. By the time I was playing through with Kreig, I had lost all sense of purpose and only wanted to eat the pizza in front of that stupid little robot. And plant my axe in Jack’s face. But mostly eat pizza.

            *Edit: <3 Claptrap though. STAAAAAAAIRS! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Oh I thought Destiny was the prequel to Borderlands. Because it’s shitter than Borderlands right.

    No, my body is not ready for more Borderlands. My body wants all the DLC to be released first, because my body is a patient, frugal temple.

        Borderlands 2 rocks. I’d love to play co-op sometime, but no one wants to 😉

        If you just bought the GOTY edition, you didn’t get all the DLC.

          I got the GOTY and slapped in some DLC as well (think all in all R160)

          My siren is lvl4, so we can jam!

      I read frugal as fragile and agreed…

    So has anyone pre ordered this? I’m still on the fence. I really really want to buy this, since Borderlands 2 was so much fun. But I just have this feeling… that I can’t put my finger on…
