This was the first time a track composed by grunge deity Kurt Cobain had appeared in a game, >>> The news that the song “Breed” by Nirvana turned up on the soundtrack Major League Baseball 2K7 raised more than a few eyebrows.

Heroes of this must be the Bitmap Brothers back in the late 80s and their deal with Rhythm King Records. Was a real treat to start up Atari ST and Amiga games and get real quality stuff from Bomb The Bass playing as opening titles to games! Also the Elite nod to 2001 and using classical music in game was lovely! Agree that Motorstorm stuff fits very well, nice mix there.
