Mirror's Edge: Still Alive - The Remixes feat. Lisa Miskovsky (Review)

Transformed Reflections
Review by Christopher Coleman

MIRROR'S EDGE is a pretty special video game. Along with the hyper-real visuals and non-violent slant, the game has received much buzz in regards to its music. The first teaser trailer offered most their first glimpse into the red, white, yellow and cyan world of Faith, the free-running messenger. The sense of free-flight and awe that oozed out of the trailers was, in no small part, due to the music chosen to undergird the images. Savvy netters quickly found this mesmerizing chill-out track on Imeem entitled "Shine" by some enigmatic entity called ALCORUS. EA and Dice quickly denied that this was the song being used in the trailer and that it was a piece created by their chosen score composer (who turns out to be Magnus Birgersson/ Solar Fields). Well, despite the denial, aside from very minor differences, the two songs were a "mirror" of one another. Not long after, in response to all of the discussion board buzz over this music, EA and Dice released a few low-bitrate remixes of this new Mirror's Edge theme. Subsequent trailer releases would feature even more variations on this single theme; one of them introducing some intriguing, Imogen-Heap-like vocals. It was clear that there was some mass value to song that needed to be capitalized upon. Shortly before the release of the MIRROR'S EDGE on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC, EA announced there would be a release of the title track now entitled "Still Alive" with vocals by LISA MISKOVSKY. In addition to the straight, vocal version, the release would feature a number of remixes.

SWEDEN'S #1 FEMALE ARTIST LISA MISKOVSKY
MAKES NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT WITH "STILL ALIVE,"
THE THEME SONG TO NEW EA GAME MIRROR'S EDGE

MIRROR'S EDGE TEAMS WITH JAMGLUE.COM FOR REMIX CONTEST

REMIX ALBUM DUE OUT TOMORROW (NOVEMBER 11):
PAUL VAN DYK, JUNKIE XL, BENNY BENASSI, TEDDYBEARS
AND ARMAND VAN HELDEN OFFER UNIQUE TAKES



Already a household name in her homeland, Swedish rock/pop star Lisa Miskovsky makes her North American debut with "Still Alive," the title track to EA's highly anticipated title Mirror's Edge, which hits store shelves on November 11) for the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system versions. In conjunction with the launch of the game, DICE, an EA studio, is digitally releasing a remix album for Mirror's Edge which features the original version of "Still Alive" and remixes by some of today's most in-demand artists including Paul van Dyk, Junkie XL, Teddybears, Benny Benassi and Armand Van Helden.

With "Still Alive" as her introduction to North American audiences, Lisa Miskovsky has put a vital, memorable stamp on the music and gaming worlds. Look for the video directed by Scrambled Visual (credits include videos for The Killers, Sting, Panic At The Disco, Juanes, Teddybears, The Rolling Stones, Thursday, Bloc Party) to become available in the coming weeks. The making of the video--recently shot in downtown Los Angeles--and more about Lisa Miskovsky can be viewed here: http://nettwerk.com/media/mov/LisMi_StiAl_epk_full_web.mov

In its various incarnations, Miskovsky's song defines the Mirror's Edge remix album. A landmark digital release designed to continue the convergence of music and gaming, the project presented Miskovsky - who has earned international acclaim on the strength of two chart-topping studio albums - an opportunity for her memorable and ethereal pop/rock anthem to be enthusiastically remixed by the world's top electronic performers and producers.

Be it Teddybears' exuberant, clap-driven rendering, Junkie XL's lilting danc-pop renovation, Paul Van Dyk's pulsing ten-minute trance-floor workout, Benny Benassi's frenzied version or Armand Van Helden's slice and dice interpretation or the song in its original, beautiful state, "Still Alive" sounds destined to live in the hearts and minds of pop fans, club denizens and consumed gamers alike for years to come.

"I wrote the melody for the vocals and the lyrics, inspired by the story and the characters in the game, "Lisa explains of the uplifting number she co-wrote with Rami Yacoub and Arnthor Birgisson (Pink, Britney Spears, Kelis). "I had never had my music remixed by any of them before and it is always interesting to hear what they will come up with."

With a mantle full of honors at home for her #1 eponymous debut and its platinum-selling #1 follow-up, Fallwater, Miskovsky--who was the recipient of several Rock Bears (Sweden's Grammy equivalent) including "Best New Artist", "Best Female Artist" and "Artist of the Year" and even co-wrote along with Max Martin and Rami Yacoub the Backstreet Boys hit "Shape Of My Heart"--is certainly deserving of the chance.

Since her 2001 debut, Lisa has racked up an impressive string of hits in her homeland, including "Driving One of Your Cars," "Lady Stardust," "Sing To Me", “Mary” (from her 2006 studio disc, Changes) and “Another Shape of My Heart” (from 2008's Last Years' Songs: Greatest Hits). She's also collaborated with Sweden's alt-country hero Christian Kjellvander and dueted with Dennis Lyxen (frontman for the (International) Noise Conspiracy) on his Lost Patrol project.

Clearly a multi-instrumentalist, Miskovsky has embraced diversity in her music, even lending her vocals to "Dead End," the 2006 track by Swedish death metal group In Flames. And if that isn't enough, Lisa is an avid sportswoman, who was once a member of the Swedish National Snowboarding team.

In addition to the release of the album, Mirror's Edge has teamed with Jamglue.com for the Mirror's Edge Theme Song "Still Alive" Remix Contest. From November 11 through April 11, contestants may enter the contest by creating their own version of "Still Alive" by adding new sounds, rearranging the clips, etc. using the Jamglue Mixer. "Still Alive" remixers will be in the running for the grand prize--an Xbox 360 and a $200 EA gift certificate for EA's online store. Winners will be announced by June 1, 2009. Jamglue.com--which was created in 2006 with the idea of making it easy for musicians to collaborate over the internet--is an online community that allows members to create and personalize audio. Musicians can upload and record music, remix it online and then share. Contestants can remix "Still Alive" by visiting: Mirrorsedgemusic.com/remix.

Mirror's Edge Title Song Remix Coming November 11

1UP.com reports that the title song for the upcoming game, MIRROR'S EDGE (one incredible looking game), is about to get a remix and a release. Make that SIX remixes and will be available by various means come November 11, 2008. The original song is performed by Lisa Miskovsky and is entitle "Still Alive."

While pegging out the money-making-marketing-meter at "overkill," hopefully this song is as good and as catchy as the music used in the game's first trailer.

You can check out the full article here

Music from Mirror's Edge Available

One of the major titles covered at this year's E3 was EA's upcoming MIRROR'S EDGE. The official trailer recently released contains some entrancing music that many have been asking about. The developers have made a "special mix." This mix seems to be a cut and paste job of several different remix versions. They are very short bits added end to end to make the total track length about 1:55. Before you download the mix, you should check out the trailer here. The game looks beautiful and is slated for a late 2008 release.

Check the trailer at the official site here

(The vocals at the conclusion of the trailer certainly have a Imogen Heap vibe!)


Download the remix here.


Despite apparent messages from the developers to the contrary the piece in the trailer does indeed seem to be a remix of SHINE by ALCORUS. You can listen to the original here as provided by IMEEM.

Since the purchasing options of Amazon.com and iTunes seem to be defunct, perhaps DICE has bought the rights for the music outright.

Enjoy!
