Explore Perfect Dark Soundtrack collection
Perfect Dark isn’t just a shooter - it’s a vibe. And the soundtrack? Absolute cyberpunk perfection. Composed by Grant Kirkhope, David Clynick, and Graeme Norgate, the score fuses futuristic electronica with brooding ambient layers and driving percussion. It sounds like a noir thriller set in a dystopian city - and it plays like a blueprint for every sci-fi espionage score that came after.
The music is dark, sleek, and deeply atmospheric. Every level pulses with tension thanks to rhythmic synth lines, deep bass drones, and glitchy textures that mirror Joanna Dark’s stealthy missions. There’s a cinematic quality to it all - this isn’t music that sits in the background. It pushes the story forward, adding depth to the game’s high-tech environments and emotional undertones.
Rare’s audio team was way ahead of its time with Perfect Dark. The score manages to feel retro and futuristic all at once, channeling everything from Blade Runner to drum and bass club nights. It’s immersive, stylish, and essential listening for fans of moody, tech-heavy soundtracks that stick with you long after the credits roll.
