No, the partially naked guy in the background of that photo has absolutely nothing to do with the newly announced Mirror’s Edge Remix ALBUM. Well, except that he looks like the type that might buy it and dance to it alone in his tiny apartment. Naked.
Slated to release this November 11th, the album will be released digitally and features multiple remixes of the game’s title track, “Still Alive”, from popular dance artists such as Benny Benassi, Junkie XL and Paul Van Dyk. The original version as performed by Lisa Miskovsky is also included in the album.
If you preorder the game at any Best Buy location, you will also receive a free music disc with the original version of “Still Alive” on it and an exclusive Benny Benassi remix. Those 2 free songs may be enough for you, but if you’re a beats hound and can’t get enough of the sweet remixin’, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the Remix ALBUM.

all avid gamers, we knew we had something very special on our hands,”
