Well, I'm not interested in this crappy video game, but the score is worth it.

A quick listen of the tracks made me think the composers have done a nice pastiche of Williams' prequel action writing style (especially Episode I), much like Haab did with Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

According Gordy Haab's website, this was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Cool. I take a closer listen when I have more time. Nice to see they have such high music production values. :)
