How much do you love Monster Hunter? If you love it even half as much as we do, you're probably a big fan of the music from the game. Thanks to the release of the full soundtrack from Monster Hunter Tri, you can now carry the inspiring musical score with you anywhere you go (useful if you ever need to get in the hunting mood).

Sumthing Else Music Works, which licensed the music from Capcom, is publishing the soundtrack in North America. The two-disc soundtrack album is released today to retail outlets and will be available for digital download on Sumthing Digital's website, Amazon MP3 and iTunes.

You get good value for your money, too. The Monster Hunter Tri Original Soundtrack features over 50 original tracks composed by Capcom in-house composers Yukko Miyama (Mega Man X 7, Mega Man X 8) and Tadayo Shinmakin (Monster Hunter Freedom Unite) who previously contributed to the series. The music reflects the game's rich heritage and diverse cultures, hybrid creatures and natural environments unique to the series. Music for the symphony was recorded with the critically acclaimed FILMharmonic Orchestra Prague in the Czech Republic. Better yet, there's no Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber in sight.
