Gwen Stefani and Beck lead the Lumines II soundtrack

While Buena Vista Games teased about a soundtrack with “big” artists we thought they meant BoA whose name appeared in the E3 demo. Instead they end up pulling the Chemical Brothers, Hoobastank and Beck. “In order to showcase my vision for ‘Lumines II,’ we needed to find music and videos with just the right tone, mix and energy to incorporate into the game,” said Tetsuya Mizuguchi, chief creative officer of Q Entertainment. “I couldn’t be happier with the result and am excited to get the game into players’ hands.”

Lumines II will have music videos in the background and these are some of the videos in the game:

Beck – “Black Tambourine”

Black Eyed Peas – “Pump It”

Chemical Brothers – “Star Guitar”

Fatboy Slim – “Gangster Trippin’”

The Go! Team – “Bottle Rocket”

Gwen Stefani – “Hollaback Girl”

Hoobastank – “Born to Lead”

Junior Senior – “Take My Time”

Missy Elliott – “Lose Control”

New Order – TBD

Also on the soundtrack are Junkie XL’s track “Breezer” and "Reality Check" from Stigmato Inc. Fans of the original soundtrack will be happy to know that Mondo Grosso is returning to do the soundtrack along with Ken Ishii and TECHRIDERS.

Oh man, this is going to be AWFUL. Seriously, that’s a real good idea — getting some of the most mediocre artists of current times for a soundtrack that’s sure to make your ears bleed.
