Lovely. All of it. Also, myfacewhen.jpg when I realize that the music they're using for the 'Empires At War' E3 trailer is the main theme for MY Terran Republic....

I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember puzzle-games like Myst or Riven (the latter being the source of my nom de gamenerd), but they had the same kind of ambient, unobtrusive, evocative musical scores. Anybody in the industry can bang out The Soaring Orchestral Score or The Mighty Guitar Riff, and after you've heard them ten times they set your teeth on edge. Not so with the work of Don Ferrone. It's in the travel/environmental themes that his genuine genius shines through, IMHO.

Lack of Rick Astley has me fearing for the future of Meme-kind.

I listen to the NC music and the first thing I think about is Dragon's Dogma O.o Then I think about old school games, like the first starcraft. It's a nice style though, kinda like it.

The vanu's sounds kinda like Omega station from Me2.

Am i THE ONLY ONE who did'nt listen to any of the music?, my reason?, i want it to be a surprise!!.

[infected]

i really hope that NC music isn't final. the combination of instruments and notes are so wrong. like a hillbilly twang instrumental playing over some potentially good rock.

[Mister Morden]

@infected then just turn the music off.

[Lithious]

Do anyone know if the electric violin going to be in the new tracks?
I just loved the old Vanu main theme..

One of the channels that i'm subscribed too just uploaded what appears to be an unfinished version of the Planetside 2 soundtrack.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question or if this has already been posted. I'm new here. But is the soundtrack out already?

That said, I really like the Vanu music.

[Bags]

It's not done up with real instruments yet. Alpha music.

[Slide Surveyor]

Hooray!

Some resourceful soul ripped the mp3's off a demo box at E3, and there are various torrents of it available. Higby seems largely okay with it... it's only placeholder/demo music after all.... but you'll hafta find the torrent yourself.

That said, Don Ferrone's demo tunes beat the hell out of 90% of the finished stuff you'll hear in any game, anywhere. As far as I'm concerned Jeremy Soule is the only competition he's got.

[Thomas]

Any word on if the complete orchestrated soundtrack will be in the beta?

[Tamas]

VS music - epic :O

Shit I'm rolling VS as my 2nd char pronto!!!

EDIT: ok, some of the later tracks are much better. But dam, all it needs is some wub wub, and some guy with his hair combed forward talking about being your boyfriend. Kids these days.

Have you played any oldschool games? The VS tracks gave me the goosebumps since many parts of them sound just like my old AMIGA games from ~1990, so many great memories.

This is a bit low quality since it is converted from the AMIGA format, it sounds better from an AMIGA since a lot of the bass is gone here, but the music is still stellar, interesting how much you can get out of a couple of floppy disks:

(Lotus turbo challenge 2 is a racing game while turrican 2 is a shootemup/platformer)

Edit:
This sounds a lot like the vanu music as well:

So much good turrican music!

Hmm i got Music from Chris Hülsbeck here and a working Amiga 500
