From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Rockstar Games' upcoming crime thriller L.A. Noire will be supported by orchestral scores, cover versions of 1940s classics, and a selection of remixes.

L.A. Noire The Official Soundtrack is the orchestral take on 1940s film scores, while L.A. Noire Remixed accommodates six cuts from modern mixers including Dave Sitek and DJ Premier.

The game itself is to contain more than 30 jazz classics, with Rockstar naming Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk among the artists.

The two soundtrack albums will appear on iTunes on May 17, the day of the game's release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Such a collection is relatively restrained in comparison to Rockstar's lavish seven-volume box set for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and eight-disc San Andreas soundtrack.

2010's Gran Turismo 5 offered a two-CD set for collectors, while Crysis 2 and Motorstorm Apocalypse recruited film composers Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt respectively.
