In a press release today, Activision announced the soundtrack for the upcomming Mat Hoffmans Pro BMX 2. The press release states - "a soundtrack that features an eclectic mix of old school rap, punk, funk, rock, and electronica." The full release along with a list of tracks can be found here.
While THPS4 is still a ways off, this may be a good indication of what to expect in the THPS4 soundtrack. Skimming through the list, I didn't recognise much, but then again I don't stray away from my set musical interests. Obviously the soundtrack is more diverse than the days of straight rock tunes with a slight hip hop mix such as in THPS and THPS2. This will anger some, and delight others. We'll just have to wait and see if the same holds for THPS4...
