We constantly get asked about making the soundtrack to this iconic title, and we\u2019re excited that it is finally getting a proper release, so that the fans can at last listen and stream the tracks all these years later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christian Henson adds, \u201cI\u2019m so thankful to have been involved in this project, so it is with deep pride to hear that the OST is being released and we can share the joy we had in making this score.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT ALIEN: ISOLATION<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years after the events of Alien (1979), Ellen Ripley&#8217;s daughter, Amanda enters a desperate battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother&#8217;s disappearance. As Amanda, you will navigate through an increasingly volatile world as you find yourself confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and an unpredictable, ruthless Alien. Underpowered and under prepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.<\/p>\n<p>Alien: Isolation (Original Video Game Soundtrack)<\/p>\n<p>Track Listing \u2013<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Torrens<\/li>\n<li>EVA<\/li>\n<li>Welcome to Sevastopol<\/li>\n<li>Axel\u2019s Death<\/li>\n<li>San Christobal<\/li>\n<li>Quarantine<\/li>\n<li>Working Joes<\/li>\n<li>Solomon\u2019s Galleria<\/li>\n<li>The Hunt<\/li>\n<li>The Derelict<\/li>\n<li>The Space Jockey<\/li>\n<li>Catherine Foster<\/li>\n<li>Tomorrow, Together<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s Here<\/li>\n<li>The Descent<\/li>\n<li>The Core<\/li>\n<li>The Beast<\/li>\n<li>Escape Sevastopol<\/li>\n<li>Airlock<\/li>\n<li>Ripley\u2019s Theme (From Alien: Isolation)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>ABOUT THE FLIGHT<\/p>\n<p>Ivor Novello award winning duo Joe Henson and Alexis Smith began collaborating in 2005. After realizing they had a similar approach to life and wildly divergent musical tastes, they formed a creative partnership that quickly encompassed songwriting, production, and composition.<\/p>\n<p>The duo have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry as well as being renowned composers for triple A video games titles. 2014 saw the release of hit survival horror title Alien: Isolation, and they followed this up with Horizon: Zero Dawn, Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey, Horizon Forbidden West, and WB Games Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Gotham Knights.<\/p>\n<p>The Flight&#8217;s television projects include the NETFLIX Series Lockwood &amp; Co, BAFTA nominated BBC documentary series Drugsland, and Kids on the Edge, produced for Channel 4 by Century Films.<\/p>\n<p>Their most recent project sees the duo returning to the popular Assassin\u2019s Creed franchise with the newest game in the series Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows. The game will take place in 16th century Japan and follow two new characters in the creed\u2019s fight against the Templar order.

He has collaborated with an eclectic number of artists for his scores, including Graham Coxon (Blur), Dot Allison (One Dove, Death In Vegas, Massive Attack), Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno), Skye (of Morcheeba), Natasha Khan (of Bat For Lashes), Synergy Vocals (Steve Reich) and Ed Harcourt.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, Christian co-founded the company \u201cSpitfire Audio\u201d, providing tools for composers the world over.
