~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New York - September 14th, 2009 - Sumthing Else Music Works, through its licensing
relationship with Microsoft Game Studios, proudly presents Halo® 3: ODST Original
Soundtrack featuring the original musical score from the highly anticipated video
game Halo 3: ODST composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. The 2-disc
set will be released on September 22nd to retail outlets through Sumthing Else
Music Works www.sumthing.com, and will be available for digital download on Sumthing Digital
www.sumthingdigital.com and iTunes®.

Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, Halo 3: ODST is
a new game in the Halo saga that lets players experience events leading up to the
epic story told in Halo 3 through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper),
as they search for clues leading to the whereabouts of their scattered squad and
the motivations behind the Covenant's invasion of New Mombasa. The release adds
a new dimension to an all-encompassing universe that gamers around the world have
known and loved for close to eight years.

"I'm happy to be able to share all new compositions and recordings created for Halo
3: ODST," said composer Martin O'Donnell. "The music reflects the new mood, new
heroes, and new story of the game. I worked with the Northwest Sinfonia for the
orchestral recordings and also added some nice alto sax solos and some new guitar
solos. The piano sneaks back in again a few times too, but I can't seem to help
that."

The Halo franchise is an award-winning collection of properties that have grown
into a global entertainment phenomenon. Beginning with the original Halo: Combat
Evolved for Xbox in 2001, the rich fiction of the franchise has since inspired
a series of blockbuster Xbox and Xbox 360 video games, New York Times best-selling
novels, comic books, action figures, apparel and more. Published by Microsoft Game
Studios, the Halo franchise of games is exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system and the games are optimized for the Xbox LIVE online entertainment
network. To date, more than 27 million copies of Halo games have been sold worldwide,
driving more than 2 billion hours of gameplay by people connected to Xbox LIVE.
In February 2009, the Halo franchise expanded into the real-time strategy genre
with "Halo Wars," which went on to become the best selling RTS game on any current
generation console.
