September 29^th, 2004 (12:00am) - SEGA has announced that award-winning composer Richard Jacques has taken remixes of the classic tunes of the OutRun videogame and remixed them for the upcoming release of OutRun2 for the Xbox on October 25th. New renditions of “Magical Sound Shower,” “Passing Breeze,” “Splash Wave” and “Last Wave” have recently been arranged and produced by Jacques. Jacques’ remixes feature a live brass section and pay homage to the original Latin flavored tunes. Jacques is known for his previous work on SEGA published and developed games including Jet Grind Radio, Jet Set Radio Future, and Samba De Amigo.

"We wanted a soundtrack for OutRun2 that was appealing to both European and North American audiences whilst maintaining the heart and soul of the original tracks,” said Ben Gunstone, Senior Producer for SEGA Europe. “I firmly believe that fans of the original tracks will embrace these new versions, and agree that Richard Jacques has done a great job."

Expect a GamersMark review of OutRun2 on October 25th.
