John Crichton 4 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 "Evil Ending/End Credits" - the last twenty seconds are amazingYes they are. I love how he used the Force theme in the game too. Hopefully the score for the second game will be as good.John- who hasn't played KOTOR in a while as his computer has a hissy fit every time he tries.

Christopher Lennertz - Yamashita's Gold from Medal of Honor: Rising SunThe buzz is that Chris Lennertz is already being called the new Michael Giacchino.But is he a talented composer in his own right, or just re-hashing Maestro Giacchino's style?

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I listened to The Search for Spock recently. "Stealing the Enterprise" is an awesome cue. And I really love the way Horner integrated the TOS theme into the end titles. Hmm...Horner using someone else's music and we're supposed to recognize it. Weird. Now I'm listening to Aladdin. Alan Menken is really, really good. He totally deserved the Oscars he got for this score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the score for the second game will be as good.Did you notice all seven statements of the Force theme? Most of them are blink-and-miss. The main theme even shows up once in the Star Forge space battle, and arguably it's in the end credits (7:28-7:34). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyecks 33 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 For the first time in a long time I have listened to The Patriot. Back when I bought it, I listened to much of it and didn't really care much for it. But now... for some reason... I really like it.But is it me, or does one of the themes sound almost identical to one of the movements in "Unifinshed Journey"? I can't find out right now exactally which one, because that cd was stolen, but I remember hearing it towards the end.Right now I'm listening to Tyler Bates' Dawn of the Dead. A nice approach. Very atmospheric... sounds a lot like Beltrami did the score, but it is a good listen and am pleasantly surprised! ShadeDidn't really care for it!

John Crichton 4 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Well, the title of Greatest Star Wars Score Not Written by John Williams, formerly held by Joel McNeely's Shadows of the Empire, has just been taken in my mind, by:Jeremy Soule's Star Wars: Knights of the Old RepublicI was always impressed with the score playing the game (well, there's nothing in that game that didn't impress me), but thanks to Cerrabore I just finished a first listen of the score on CD, complete with ripped cutscene music. Wow. The Force Theme is wonderfully incorporated, there's some great new themes, rocking action music. It's Star Wars through and through. And the Dark Side ending is a great first stab at what an Ep. III finale might sound like (think dark chorus, and lots of it!). Highly recommended.

By the way, John, listen closely to the last ten seconds of CD 2 Track 32, "Forward!" I think you'll like what you hear. If anyone is interested in trading for this complete score, feel free to e-mail me or whatever...but keep in mind that if you have the game, you can do it yourself:1. Download Miles Sound Tools.2. Use it to decompress the following WAV files in your SWKotOR/streammusic directory:- Numbered cues. These underscore in-game cutscenes. NOTE: Some do not contain any music; don't bother with these ones of course.- mus_*- credits- evil_endingNOTE: When I tried to decompress 57.wav, credits.wav, and evil_ending.wav, I got corrupted files, presumably because the files were too large for Miles to process. If this happens to you, then set a recording program to record "What U Hear" or "Stereo Mix," then play the files through Miles. Then save the recordings as WAV files.3. Download Rad Video Tools.4. Set a recording program to record "What U Hear" or "Stereo Mix" and then play every cutscene in your SWKotOR/movies directory, saving each recording as a WAV file. You can skip the last seven files, which are the logo screens, the Yavin IV cutscenes (same music as Tatooine, although I actually used the Yavin IV version because it had, I think, less sound effects - your call), and some advertisements.5. Put it in order as best you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin 2 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Presumed Innocent. I can not praise this score enough. Whenever anyone says JW can only score a motion picture with brass and drums.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Let's see...The Phantom Menace - yes, the ultimate edition (with the OST concert versions at the end). Until I can get JPB and finish the all the editing, this will have to do.Diamonds Are Forever - this thing just keeps getting better. Wonderful score.Right now I'm on A New Hope (about half-way through). I think I had a little too much fun reciting dialogue along with the score while listening on the way home (especially with the first Cantina song, which included most of the alien dialogue as well). I do a mean Momaw Nadon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
