Album set to be released in November -- cake not included!
Most readers might have been misled by the headline into believing that Mirror's Edge bears some connection to Valve's hit title Portal. Well, there is none.
The Mirror's Edge theme song, Still Alive, actually has nothing to do with Jonathan Coulton's Portal theme. Though the two songs share the same name, the version in question it written by Rami Yacoub and Arnthor Birgisson and sung by Lisa Miskovsky, not sung by Ellen McLain.
A remix album featuring the Mirror's Edge theme song will be available for download on November 11, released alongside the game. This digital soundtrack contains six versions of Still Alive:
Mirror's Edge Remix Album
- Lisa Miskovsky - Still Alive (Mirror's Edge Theme Song)
- Benny Benassi - Still Alive (Remix)
- Junkie XL - Still Alive (Remix)
- Paul van Dyk - Still Alive (Remix)
- Teddybears - Still Alive (Remix)
- Armand Van Helden - Still Alive (Remix)
There's no price tag for the album as of yet, but retailer Best Buy is offering a CD featuring the theme song and Benassi's remix to gamers who pre-order Mirror's Edge through them.
For those who have been asking about the song featured in the game's debut trailer, that particular piece is "Shine," by Alcorus, and isn't included in the remix album.
