With the game set in the early 1990s, the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack will feature a large variety of tracks spanning the FM radio dial of the West Coast during this particularly influential period in American music and culture. The double CD will feature a mix of select tracks from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? many in-game radio stations, while each album of the 8 CD box set will replicate a music station from the game, featuring a broader selection of tracks ranging from contemporary west coast and classic east coast hip-hop, funk, rare groove, new jack swing and contemporary soul, alternative rock, classic rock, reggae and country.
In-game radio stations have become one of the signature aspects of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, delivering a realistic radio experience by allowing players to tune the radio station in the huge selection of vehicles in the game to any station they like, complete with hours of satirical commercials and D.J. banter that cleverly parodies a wide mix of radio formats. The radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will feature the most staggering selection of music ever assembled for a video game with more than 150 tracks from artists including James Brown, Willie Nelson, 2 Pac, and Rage Against the Machine, plus many, many more that encompass a great deal of the radio spectrum of the early 90s. The double CD also includes as a bonus track an exclusive cover of the Nine Inch Nails early 90s industrial staple ?Head Like A Hole? by Northern Californian punk band AFI, who formed in 1991. The track has been recorded by AFI specifically for the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack album and as a tribute to this unique era in music.
