The game is her first international AAA title. Kane & Lynch 2™: Dog Days will be published by Eidos/Square Enix and is scheduled for release in August 2010. "Mona Mur composes the Industrial Terror Ambience which generates the opressive but driving atmosphere", says Art Director Rasmus Poulsen in EUROGAMER. "We didn‘t want this normal epic orchestra stuff here." Mona Mur, extravagant vocalist, composer and sound designer, has gained her reputation in the international avantgarde scene collaborating with artists such as "Einstuerzende Neubauten", "The Stranglers", "Yello" and the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. Her work can be found in games such as BALLANCE, awarded "Seal of Excellence" in Adrenaline Vault, the Sci-Fi-Adventure “CULPA INNATA 2–Chaos Rising” or the apocalyptic 3rd person shooter VELVET ASSASSIN.

Flangers Burnt Friedman and Atom TM provide soundtrack for hungarian drama Bibliotheque Pascal. It is the story of a single East European mother, who has to tell her story to the child protective services to get back custody of her young daughter. Her depiction of the happenings of the past three years wrenches the viewer in to an adventure where love, crime, clairvoyance, resurrection of the dead, women-trafficking and a literary S/M brothel have no small part to play.

Bonobo aka Simon Green returns with his fourth, most eagerly-anticipated and most accomplished album to date, the magnificent Black Sands. Bonobo proves once and for all with Black Sands that he is an artist and producer with his sights set on much higher prizes than to rule any dusty subgenre of dance music. This is a record of epic reach and massive emotional pull, all held together by Greens understanding of composition and arrangement of live instruments (most of them also played by him) as well as his complete mastery of the tricks and techniques of the digital age. Black Sands is the most contemporary record he has ever made.

Lars And The Hands Of Light are here to stay, and god damn it, they will!
