  Behind The Music (In Rush Hour)

  One of the most underappreciated elements of video game production is the music
  soundtrack that accompanies game-play. Even casual gamers have probably encountered
  a videogame or two where the soundtrack was lackluster and repetitive, and completely
  killed the whole experience. Maxis is well aware of just how crucial a great soundtrack
  can be, and that is why, when resident musical genius Jerry Martin sat down to compose
  and record the music found in Rush Hour, he was provided with a seventy-piece orchestra
  to fill out the sound on nearly half of the eleven new songs found within Rush Hour.

  Jerry and composer Andy Brick were flown out to the unusually vowel-rich Eastern
  European city of Olomouc in the Czech Republic and given a mandate to provide nearly
  a half-hour of lush, atmospheric music for the game. The end result was three new
  songs from Jerry and two from Andy. These accompany the six other songs composed
  by Jerry, as well as The Humble Brothers, Walt Szalva, and Edwin Dolinski.

  The results were, of course, typically beautiful, and continue to uphold the high
  standards that Maxis sets for itself with every new release. We''ve made all the
  music found in Rush Hour available as downloadable mp3’s, so if you don’t have Rush
  Hour, you can get a taste of the aural experience in store for you, and if you do
  have Rush Hour, you can listen to the music outside the game, and print up your
  own professional looking cd.'
