Music house, Groove Addicts, tapped to score Splinter Cell: Conviction photo

When I heard that Amon Tobin was going to be scoring Spinter Cell: Chaos Theory, I squealed with delight, like a baby kitten lapping up its first sips of mother's milk. The Brazillian DJ/producer has created some of the most intelligent, creative electronic/drum and bass music in the field, and knowing that he was creating new music with Splinter Cell in mind was mind-numbing.

Today, Ubisoft has announced that Groove Addicts, a music production house based out of California, will be creating music for their upcoming Splinter Cell: Conviction ... and I've got nothing. Ubisoft's Technical & Artistic Director of Audio, Simon Pressey, on the other hand, has nothing but good things to say about the group, whose first crack at videogame music will be with Conviction.

"It's the most definitive music I've heard to date for the series," he says. "I would go as far to call it 'classic Splinter Cell.'"

Until later this year when Splinter Cell: Conviction ships, we'll have to take his word for it. Groove Addicts are the cats who scored both rounds of music for Deal or No Deal ... that's good, right?

Never heard of Groove Addicts either, but after listening to some sample work, I feel optimistic about their ability to hit home on a Splinter Cell level.

We need more SC: Conviction news. It is looking to be a refreshing reboot.

Oh god, you lost me at "deal or no deal". That gameshow serves no other purpose than to piss me off. The music, maybe while good or intelligently written, just adds to the fact that I absolutely loathe the host and the way the entire show dramatically draws out what is, in actuality, about 20 seconds of playing time. Seriously, it's pick a fucking number, just get on with it - I don't want to hear that you picked 13 because you have 13 kids or some shit, and I certainly don't want to deal with the idiot host pretending to be on the phone and making deals which are for the most part just averages based on what you have left. </rant>

@ topgeargorilla:
