And last but not least, you can listen to the entire L.A. Noire Verve Remixed Project EP, featuring six jazz classics from the game's soundtrack re-interpreted by some of today's most acclaimed DJs, producers and remixers. The future meets the past in this EP spin-off of the Official Soundtrack release as gems from jazz legends like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Lionel Hampton get remixed by modern greats like Dave Sitek (of TV on the Radio), DJ Premier (of Gang Starr, and as heard on the Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack) and Truth and Soul (El Michels Affair, and as heard on the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars soundtrack).

Both the Official Soundtrack, and Verve Remix Project, will be available at all major digital outlets next Tuesday, May 17th to commemorate the official release of L.A. Noire.
