Proving that the folks at EA Games clearly know what's in vogue in music right now, the soundtrack to new football game FIFA 08 looks like an indie-dance disco extraordinaire. Featuring the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, CSS, Datarock, Dover, Ivy Queen, Junkie XL, Maximo Park, Mexican Institute Of Sound, Peter Bjorn And John, Planet Funk, Superbus, The Cat Empire, and Wir Sind Helden, it's almost as if they've flicked through the hippest youth magazines from around the world and stuck pins in at random. Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music at EA commented, "We've been working for nearly a year to deliver what we believe is the ultimate 'FIFA 08' soundtrack. These are the most songs ever in a FIFA edition representing the most countries in the history of the videogame".
