Joystiq posted last week that Brian Eno will be working on the soundtrack for Spore. For those of you not familiar with Spore, it is the latest creation of Will Wright, the man behind The Sims and Sim City. Basically, the game takes The Sims and expands it to everything from the beginning of time to space colonization — it’s a simulation of the evolutionary process.

The music produced by Eno for the game will mimic in its own way the process of the game itself. Back in June of 2006, Eno and Wright spoke together and a video of the talk is available at Fora.tv.

Update: I just saw on Billboard.com that Eno is apparently going to be working with Coldplay as well.
