In Starcraft 1 the music was incredible. The three Terran songs I have in my iTunes, I think their playcount is in the 30's. I have even transcribed some parts of the music. Who is doing the Music for number 2? The same person/people? Will they use the same Music? Will they have more than three music tracks per race? Will the Terran Music still PWN!?!?!? Me being a muso, makes me wonder about this. The Starcraft 2 soundtrack will be on my "To Get" list, I can assure you.
I don't know who is doing it, but I agree, I'm really interested in the music they will have. In Paris they were just using the old music, so nothing new yet. I also have the soundtrack (I pieced stuff together from the farthest reaches of the Interwebz) and enjoy it from time to time. I also have this one song by Infected Mushroom, and every time I hear it there is one spot that sounds EXACTLY like one of the Terran songs. I'll post it on my profile or something...
I'm not one who really considers game music *real* music and I won't buy the soundtrack or anything, but from what I've heard it's just as good as the old one.
I dont think at all the music was good in the first one but barely hearing the music in this one makes me feel like im listening to a soundtrack from a dramatic movie i am really impressed
im a muso too. I hope they will have killer music with the use of orchestral instrument as well as the electric guitar. I often wonder if i could work as a gaming composer in the future...ahh the dream!! xD
Haha AcE, I often think I'd too like to be a gaming composer... hehehe. I was once watching this starcraft vod, it was like a compilation of vod's, and someone (whoever editied it), put music over the top of it... Dissapointing. Not only could I not hear the music, I couldn't hear the awesome Korean commentary.... But anyway yeah, I would love to hear some music from SC2, if anybody can find it, or if it even exists.
In this vid, from 0:24 and on, you can hear one of the new Terran tracks. It's really awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AoYoep7JDA&feature=related
Your right that is awesome. My worries have been silenced. It's similar but not too similar. I like it
Well I am really impressed by this new music too. But I don't want them to try too had and screw it. I'll explain. There was a game for the Nintendo Gamecube called Smash Bros Melee. Most of us here would know it. And they spend ages making the music for it. And I thought it was superb. The right amount of orchestral with electronic beats. And later for the Wii they release Smash Bros Brawl. And the change the music for it. Similar to the predecessors music but much more orchestral, even sickeningly so. It's like they tried so hard to improve it that they lost sight of the fact they only needed to improve it as it was already brilliant. Hence I only use the old melee tracks where I can in Brawl. I just hope the same thing is not done in SC2. I hope they take what is good in the first and just improve on it. Not change it totally and lose all that nostalgia that we feel for the first game.
yeah i like this terran music. All that orchestral music with some electronic stuff. Plus the little palm-muted distorted guitar to add some little "heaviness" to the terran...ahh i love this STUFF!!! xD this is what i rkn: the terran should have that palm-muted distorted guitar with the orchestral music and electronic beats to add the "heaviness" the zerg should have those high pitch distorted guitar riffs/melody with the orchestral and electronic beats to give the zerg the "eerie/creepy feal". And the protoss....well im not too sure myself, i cant remember how the old protoss theme goes in sc1. But im assuming it was alot of string ensemble and orchestral instruments which gives the protoss some of that "honourable" feel.
