ATLAS PLUG Featured on RalliSport
Challenge 2 and Volvo Commercial
New Breed of Electronic Artist
Releases Debut Album 2 Days Or Die
New York, NY – March 15, 2004 –
ATLAS PLUG www.atlasplug.com , also known
as recording artist, composer and producer Tom Salta
www.tomsalta.com , today announced the
release of his debut solo album 2 Days Or Die. The album includes the track "2
Days Or Die" from the upcoming Microsoft Xbox videogame "RalliSport Challenge
2," developed by Digital Illusions and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The
new Volvo S40 ‘Video Game’ commercial, featuring footage from "RalliSport
Challenge 2," is also using the same song ("2 Days Or Die") that Microsoft
licensed for the cinematic opening of the game.
An expert in programming and mixing
hit records, Salta has previously toured with and worked on releases by a
diverse array of artists such as Peter Gabriel, Junior Vasquez, Everything But
The Girl, Primer 55, Deep Forest, Mary J. Blige and Sinead O’Connor. Building on
his success in the music industry, video games and soundtracks are now Salta’s
main focus and the primary source of inspiration for 2 Days Or Die.
"Writing soundtracks for the latest
games is a lot more exciting than the limitations and ‘rules’ of Pop music,"
said Salta. "Composing for visual media allows me to experiment with a hybrid of
styles that I love to create."
Peter Davenport, Music Acquisitions
Manager for Microsoft Corporation, said, "Atlas Plug (aka Tom Salta) has
produced precisely the kind of hard-driving orchestral electronica-rock we were
looking for when we envisioned the ideal RalliSport Challenge 2 soundtrack. His
music aptly embodies the energy and ambiance of the game."
