Astatine Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I voted "Get Soule back!" because he did some really good work for KOTOR1. Took me ages to get the soundtrack to the final battle with Malak out of my head Anyone have any links to examples of Grisky's work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astatine Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 *listens to the samplers on the site* Hey this is rather good. If this is the same Mark Griskey, I think KOTOR2's soundtrack is in good hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janmanden Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Been a few months since I played last. Dont actually remember music at all, think that's a good sign. Keep Soule. (Signatures: disabled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spif Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 *listens to the samplers on the site* If this is the same Mark Griskey, I think KOTOR2's soundtrack is in good hands <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From the website: "Mark's current projects include Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords and motion picture trailers for X-Ray Dog." It's him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kefka Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 hmm, those music samples are very impressive. He has a good range of styles too. Serene, dramatic, chanting... The latter reminds me of the Omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcleaver Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 None of it's going to be synthesized, either That makes me really happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSAdmiral Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I had my doubts about this guy, but from the samples on his site, he seems pretty solid. He's got varying styles that can suit the game if he adapts them well enough. He seems to use a lot of hymns/choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I have no clue who Mark Grisky is or how good he is so I had to vote between the other two. I enjoyed the musical scores in KOTOR, so Soule did a good job, but John Williams is the master, so obviously I would pick him. This poll might have been better if you'd left Williams out of it.

Blackbishop Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 I have listen to his samples and they are very good. I don't think the score is in bad hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyprus Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Yeah, pretty good stuff. Nothing really memorable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by his samples, one can say that he's competent, nothing spectacular, but competent.

Guest Fallen Jedi Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I don't care who does the music as long as it sounds like Star Wars... Or Heavy Metal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcleaver Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Soule was a mix, to me. Some of his stuff wasn't competent, some of it was really extraordinary. The sappy, "Bastila" theme comes to mind. I guess the people who think the music shouldn't be too good, because that takes away from the game, will be happy.

Dusai Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Soule was a mix, to me. Some of his stuff wasn't competent, some of it was really extraordinary. The sappy, "Bastila" theme comes to mind. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought that the Bastila theme was the best piece of music in the entire game, especially when you reach the summit of the Rakattan temple and it kicks in. I also liked the Sith Theme, the Old Republic Theme, and The Dantooine Theme. If Soule was lacking anywhere it was with the battle music. The battle music on Kashyyyk is annoying at best and brings forth visions of Ewoks dancing in my head. The rest of it, with the exception of the final battle music, is all just kinda meh.

Guest Fallen Jedi Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 The music on Manaan sounded like the backround music played in some elevators... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Omnifarious Host Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have no clue who Mark Grisky is or how good he is so I had to vote between the other two. I enjoyed the musical scores in KOTOR, so Soule did a good job, but John Williams is the master, so obviously I would pick him. This poll might have been better if you'd left Williams out of it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly And John Williams scores as of late have been pretty forgettable. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban had it's moments, but over all it was a terribly annoying soundtrack to listen to. AOTC was nothing but a rehash of TPM score. Didn't George and John know that people would recognize the same musical cues in the score? Other Williams efforts have been boring rehashes of earlier scores. Some scores sound like Hook, others sound like he didn't really give that much of a creative effort. The last score Williams created that I truly enjoyed was Minority Report. A.I was excellent, so I was really dissapointed with Harry POA. Catch Me If You Can and The Terminal? Sorry I picked them up. Lately Williams scores sound like they are being written for a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Don't misunderstand me, Williams is one of my all time favs, but lately his scores leave much to be desired.
