Expert game musicians Richard Jacques and Tim Follin have been named as the composers for Empire's upcoming game Starsky & Hutch. Tim's work dates back to the 80s where he composed music for Ghost 'n' Goblins as well as many other games.
Richard's work can be heard in Jet Set Radio Future, Metropolis Street Racer and also in some Bacardi Breezer adverts.
Tim stated "This is the project I had hoped I would get one day. I've always loved Starsky & Hutch and it's original title music. I've tried to make the game music as cool and funky as possible, given the nature of the gameplay and overall franchise. I've made a lot of musicians jealous bagging this one!"
Richard added "I have worked on many racing titles previously, but the first thing to stand out on Total Immersion Racing was the attention to detail of the AI. This should give serious driving game fanatics a new level of depth to explore. Also it was great to have the opportunity to write some break-beat tracks for the game. It was excellent to work with Empire on this title."
