The original (stripped down) menu music from the beta period

[poetic obsidian]

Hello there.  I was one of the first people to gush about the main menu theme back when the game was still in beta. However, in the final release of the game  I notice some differences in the main menu music. They added more orchestration/instrumentation. For some reason, I prefer the older more bare-bones  version of the menu music that we heard during the beta period. Maybe it's because I have a musical brain, so my brain associates the older main menu music with that awesome memory I had the first time I ran the beta and heard that stirring, poignant piece of music.

 

So as an odd request, is there any way to get access to the older version of the main menu theme?   Does Justin Bell still post ?

Hey poetic obsidian,  Sorry it took so long for me to respond.  Hmmmmm, let me see if I can dig it up.  I might need to talk to some folks about how to post it.  Stand by!

Thx Justin.

I especially like that they made it similar to Conan soundtrack.
