Thing is, Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus had such unique music that captured it's atmosphere perfectly. Rich with bizarre percussion, world instruments, and wonderfully weird synths. Bross's style is appropriate for Oddworld, but it's also quite different from Ellen Meijers' and Josh Gabriel's work.
If he's just on board for sound design, I have no qualms. If he's producing another score rife with lengthy synth drones and structureless percussion loops, I'll be one sad panda. If he's working to recreate the original soundtracks with more up to date sounds (like I've been trying to), then I wish him luck.
