Sounds very reminiscent of Stranger’s Wrath, rather than Abe’s Oddysee. Not that that’s a bad thing – Stranger had awesome music, and it ties the two games together a little more.

I have not played N&T yet, I live in the slums, scraping animals off the sidewalk for food and only have a PS3 - but this is a great taster. Few people can combine atmosphere and melody so effectively.
His work on Stranger's Wrath lead me to believe he's one of the greatest soundtrack composers of his generation, and it astounds me that he's not yet competing for jobs with the likes of Hans Zimmer.
He is indeed, I'm glad they got him back for N'n'T - From what I've heard of it, I think he did the original soundtrack justice and improved on it where it needed to be.
I'm excited to see what direction they go with the music of Fangus if/when that comes out. Hopefully a mixture between Stranger and AO/AE's music. It's hard to nail the kind of mood that the music of the first two games achieved.
I for one am very excited to hear his musical score for the next original Abe game. If it's anywhere near as strong and as atmospheric as Stranger, I'll lobby for video games to be considered for the Oscars.

Like a sequel to Exoddus? Or the next game in the Quintology?
A sequel to Munch - which I assume will be in 2.5D
Not that Abe shouldn't be in 3D. I'm only basing that on how poor an idea it was for Munch - but Oddworld have proven they can produce World Class 3D games with Stranger.
So whereas it would require new gameplay techniques, I'm not opposed to seeing Abe in a 3D World.
