Its opening scene music - a slowed down recording of Tibetan monks chanting.

We found the first three minutes a yawn but it picked up once they started talking about the actual music and the process of making it.
Following the full cancellation of this year's E3, Microsoft have announced that they will hold their own Xbox and Bethesda showcase on June 12 which will be streamed online.
