EA SPORTS FIFA Series has established itself as not only the all-time best selling sports interactive franchise in the world, but also as a vehicle for top artists to bring their music to a cutting edge medium. Past artists who have provided lead tracks in FIFA games are Moby and his “Bodyrock” remix from the hit album PLAY in FIFA 2001 ™, Robbie Williams’ “It’s Only Us” in FIFA 2000, Fat Boy Slim’s “The Rockafeller Skank” in FIFA 99, Chumbawamba’s “Tub Thumpin’” in World Cup 98, and Blur’s “Song 2” in Road To World Cup.
“As a record company and music publisher, we are always looking for ways to get our music distributed, beyond the straight performance and sale of records,” said Tony Moss, publishing manager of Ministry of Sound. “Video games give us an important platform for dance music to be heard across the globe. And, our producers and writers have consoles and love the idea of being involved!”
FIFA Football 2002, including licensed Ministry of Sound tracks and re-invented gameplay will be available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in November. Prior to that FIFA Football 2002 will be available for the PlayStation® console and PC-CD in late October. For more information about FIFA Football 2002 go HERE.
ABOUT MINISTRY OF SOUND
Ministry of Sound – the club – opened in London in September 1991 and has since established a cult following among clubbers worldwide. The club’s success has been built on the very high quality of its music programming and promotion, its world-renowned custom-built sound system and the distinctive Ministry of Sound logo. Since clubbing has developed from an underground movement to a mainstream activity influencing the music preferences, style and attitudes of young people, Ministry of Sound has emerged as the unifier of this culture and is now an internationally recognised youth brand.
