Justice - Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score [3LP]

Justice took on the streets of Leonida, and Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score gathers the French duo's work for Rockstar's long-awaited game on three LPs.

Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay built their reputation on grand, distorted dance music that borrowed as much from prog and disco as from house, so the pairing with a series known for its sprawling soundtracks makes a lot of sense. They wrote the score in close collaboration with Rockstar, with the freedom to roam across moods and genres as long as it served the game.

That freedom shows in the scope. The music was designed to respond to what happens on screen as players follow protagonists Jason and Lucia through the sun-bleached, neon-lit state of Leonida, so expect tension cues, cruising grooves and big emotional swells rather than a set of club singles. The full release runs to around three hours across its standard and digital editions, and this vinyl set distils that world into a format made for proper listening.

For Justice fans, it is a chance to hear the duo stretch out far beyond the dancefloor. For players, it is a way to bring a little of Leonida home, and it might make any drive to the shops feel slightly more dangerous.
