 EA's FIFA 09 Soundtrack Features Wales' Own Tom Jones [Fifa Soccer 09]
 42 music artists. 21 countries. No, it's not some giant worldwide hunger relief concert, it's EA's official soundtrack for FIFA Soccer 09, and it has international flavor oozing from ever pore. How international are we talking? How about Spain's Macaco? Iceland's Jakobinarina? How about Wales' favorite son, Mr. Tom Jones, ladies and gentlemen?
Yes, he's Welsh. I didn't know either, but I suppose the folks in Wales keep that sort of thing pinned to their refrigerator. Ice box. Whatever. Of course Junkie XL had to remix "Feels Like Music" to make it a bit more palatable for the kids, but if that doesn't sit well with the Welsh they've also got Duffy's "Mercy" to help represent the land of...Welsh things. Hit the jump for the full soundtrack listing, and Go Wales! EA’S FIFA Soccer 09 Soundtrack Scores on International Music Goals
Roster Features 42 Artists From 21 Countries, Debuts From Kasabian and Datarock, Exclusive Track From Tom Jones Remixed By Junkie XL
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today unveiled the complete music track listing for EA SPORTS™ FIFA Soccer 09, in stores world wide this October. In a game already being heralded for its revolutionary gameplay enhancements, the new FIFA Soccer 09 soundtrack features 42 songs from 21 nations across multiple genres to create an unprecedented global music event.
In what has become an annual tradition, FIFA Soccer 09 features a handpicked roster of Platinum acts and soon-to-break artists from around the world that defines the sound of the coming soccer season as it creates new international stars. This year’s soundtrack includes debut tracks from Italian electro-funk artist Caesar Palace, UK rockers Kasabian, and Artwerk Music Group’s international sensation Datarock, as well as exclusives from French hip-hop phenomenon Soprano and a new track by Tom Jones remixed by Junkie XL.

We’re excited that Brazilian fans of Curumin will hear Spain’s The Pinker Tones and Norway’s Datarock.
