I was shaving and had to stop and wipe my wet hands and give this an 8. Mind you I only really heard the last minute or so, but hey, that last minute was pretty darn good.

I'm digging this cut today, have rated it a 7 previously, and well maybe it's the sunny Friday in the Seattle area......bumped it to a 9 today and will have to play this on the big system to know for sure....still....Long Live RP!!
 
I had this at an 8... but it ramped up and those darned dancing bananas started boogieing around my studio and I just had to notch it up to a 9.

And it's not even particularly sunny here in Guelph today and no big system to crank it on.
But it's a fine uplifting tune to help keep the Covid Blues at bay - Long Live RP indeed!

I don't remember how I got it, but I have that soundtrack on CD. Solidly good on its own, plus it reminds me of playing the various missions. A brilliant game.

It's called a set. These songs work together, thematically and/or musically, so Bill keeps them together. The order of sets switches up, and Bill also swaps things in and out of sets as new songs become available or old songs get tired.

It doesn't have to be, does it? I mean, if the playlist were random, it would be your ipod, right?

Listen to the music found in the first version of Homeworld if you want a fine example of solid music in a video game.

Moving! If you enjoy the orchestral elements to his stuff, then definately try music by E.S. Posthumus, found on cdbaby dot com. One of their songs from "Unearthed" was used for the intro to Cold Case on CBS. And yes, I agree, there is some really great video game music out there. Just look at any Final Fantasy, Panzer Dragoon, or Halo. If you're a gamer, or interested at all in that which is not three guitars and drums, then this music grows on you quickly.

For what it's worth, there is some really excellent, even award-winning music out there that was written for video games. I am by no means an avid gamer, yet some of the more famous themes (original MIDI, techno remix, orchestral arrangement, or other form) are quite recognizable.

Reminds me of the soundtrack to the "Italian Job" by, I think, John Powell. I can almost feel the spray made by the speed boats slashing through the canals of Venice.

Not bad, seems to have borrowed from Juno Reactor's "Masters of the Universe". Its growing on me pretty quickly, but its too short.

I miss the Stone Roses... but I still enjoy Ian Brown... I'm not sure about this tune though.

One of those you feel sorry it has to end. Thank you for another find, Bill! Love the interaction between strings/orchestra and electric/acoustic guitar. Reminds me a little of Kamen and, before him, Jan Hammer of "Miami Vice" fame.
