September 24, 200520 yr Jeremy Soule is a king of game soundtracks. He is alter ego of John Williams who played similar role in film music. Mark Griskey is young and begining composer but has already shown a great talent. Especially in Gladius HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
September 24, 200520 yr the March? Yes. The "Kotor March", as heard here: Music samples from Mark Griskey. I prefer him.

I think.
September 24, 200520 yr Yea, I voted Jeremy Soule but not so much for the work on k1 but his overall works... I suspect however, in time Griskey could put himself on very near an even keel.
September 24, 200520 yr John Williams DAWUSS Dawes ain't too bright. Hitting rock bottom is when you leave 2 tickets on the dash of your car, leave it unlocked hoping someone will steal them & when you come back, there are 4 tickets on your dashboard.
September 24, 200520 yr I loved Jeremy Soule's work in DoW. The music for kotor i/ii was unremarkable for the most part. I've played both games several time and I've never stopped to listen. In my opinion, best work I've heard in a long time was Jeff van Dyck's work in Rome: total war.

I got it off of Moby Games. Yea, I voted Jeremy Soule but not so much for the work on k1 but his overall works... I suspect however, in time Griskey could put himself on very near an even keel. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ya probably, just wait five years and we probably will be talking about him with the same respect we have for Jeremy Soule.

September 25, 200520 yr Henry Gregson-Williams. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
September 25, 200520 yr I voted for Soule. I really liked the music in K1. In K2, I hardly remember anything from the soundtrack. Soule also produced some great tracks for other games, such as NeverWinter Nights and (one of his best) ES3 Morrowind. However, the last one he made (Guild Wars) is total crap. You can turn it off and you won't even notice.
September 25, 200520 yr Too bad Morrowind only had about 2 songs... "Your total disregard for the law and human decency both disgusts me and touches my heart. Bless you, sir." "Soilent Green is people. This guy's just a homeless heroin junkie who got in a internet caf

September 26, 200520 yr Can somebody please post a link, if there is one, for music samples from Jeremy Soule. Thanks in advance.
September 26, 200520 yr here and here HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
September 26, 200520 yr here and here The first one you have to pay to listen (and has very few music tracks) The other is dead for unknown time, the link to Jeremy's MP3 site is dead atleast. Ah well, 5 very short songs can be heard on the main page...
September 26, 200520 yr Directsong: you can download free Path of Sorrows - and Guild Wars special edition costs only 6 bucks and has 32 tracks. The website was opened in June so I guess we'll have to wait for more. Edited September 26, 200520 yr by Nur Ab Sal HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king.

September 26, 200520 yr the next SW RPG needs to have plenty of John Williams's music like the first KOTOR had.
September 27, 200520 yr the next SW RPG needs to have plenty of John Williams's music like the first KOTOR had. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only Williams music I heard was the Star Wars theme.
September 27, 200520 yr I remember there being a little bit of "Across the Stars" in the trailer for K1 People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
September 27, 200520 yr the next SW RPG needs to have plenty of John Williams's music like the first KOTOR had. The only Williams music I heard was the Star Wars theme. Indeed. One of the "special features" of Kotor1 was that it was the first Star Wars game in a long time that had new music made for it, instead of movie music stolen, or music from one of the other SW-games...
September 27, 200520 yr I turn off all but the fight music( and that's only loud enough to tell me I'm in a fight) when I can. Ambient sounds are more important to me. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (

One of the "special features" of Kotor1 was that it was the first Star Wars game in a long time that had new music made for it, instead of movie music stolen, or music from one of the other SW-games... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it was a good musical score alright. I'm not suggesting there was alot of Williams music but it seemed like it was alot more than in K2. K2 could have used more, IMO.
September 27, 200520 yr I really liked Jeremy Soule's work in Guild Wars. It was amazing, well some of the tracks. That being said I can't stand the music in K1. Not only is it synthesized, but it has a very welcome to the supermarket feel. I couldn't tell if I was trying to maintain peace on Manaan or cleaning up aisle 5. Mark Griskey had some amazing tracks in Kotor2 and I think that a lot of his music set the tone for many levels. Didn't really like any of his battle music though. But levels like Peragus and Telos were really enthralling for me because of the music. If I had to pick a composer I would pick Soule, but if I had to pick between Kotor1's soundtrack and Kotor2's I would pick Kotor2.
