Hey cousin, let's go bowling!

 

[clockpunk]

'Soviet Connection' - that's a bold and interesting choice!

 

[iNvid02]

something from revelations please

edit: :/ i'll take it

 

[Roxas]

interesting choice. good choice though

 

[Jachaos]

Incredible. I am going to go reinstall GTA4 now.

Soviet Connection with Liberty City appearing right when the song picks up was so grand. The beginning is the best part of GTA IV in my opinion.

 

[Empty]

if they were going with assassins creed should have used a jesper kyd song

 

[Theecliff]

Assassin's Creed music has always been good in my opinion, but never heard any of AC4's OST before. Sounds pretty interesting!

3 and 4 had different composers to 2, BH and Revelations didn't they?

 

[Broken Joystick]

Had brief similarities to Ocarina's Forest Temple theme just then.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Pretty nice, too bad Ass Creed blows

 

[javac]

Yo ho ho, me hearties. Song is good.

 

[Jachaos]

Assassin's Creed music has always been good in my opinion, but never heard any of AC4's OST before. Sounds pretty interesting!

I love the main theme. The main themes are always good. AC II's remains my favourite, and the subtle soundtrack in Florence was another favourite off that awesome soundtrack. But AC IV's theme is great, III's too (along with the Fight Club piece) there's a lot of great songs from AC.

Will this be archived soon after this is over? I missed the 1st hour.

Company of heroes 2 - Main

 

[clockpunk]

Classic FM should just sell copies of this show on a two-disc set - an hour apiece - I'd certainly buy a copy!

 

[Theecliff]

Hoping we get to hear some of Austin Wintory's Journey soundtrack if it hasn't already been on. Apotheosis or The Road of Trials would be amazing.

Yeah, I agree. I recently replayed Brotherhood and some of the music when exploring the Rome countryside is absolutely beautiful.

 

[Huggers]

Disappointing lack of shanties in the Assasins Creed bit

 

[Chinner]

whats this plying now?

 

[akaoni]

whats this plying now?

Company of Heroes 2.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

ODST isn't as step-child as people make out.

I think you've misunderstood the conversation.

All these recordings are freely available elsewhere, remember!

EDIT: And by freely I mean easy to find, not necessarily free. Though a lot of them are available legally for free, too.

 

[DukeBobby]

I hope they play some of Jesper Kyd's work.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I hope so because I'm getting my kids ready for bed now and can no longer listen.

 

[jonno394]

Hearing the piece from GTA IV just made me buy the GTA collection from steam for £6.99

 

[StevePharma]

I hope they play some of Jesper Kyd's work.

Most definitely. I'm guessing something from Hitman (also featured on the Classic FM website).

 

[javac]

Master Chef lol

 

[Chinner]

have they played any highlights so far? im guessing jrpg fans are rioting as it appears they are not playing old mdi songs

 

[mclem]

One (small) step closer to a games music prom!

 

[JB2448]

"Requiem" and "Solace" from Halo 4.

 

[Empty]

huh didn't realize someone from massive attack did the halo 4 ost

 

[clockpunk]

All these recordings are freely available elsewhere, remember!

With the full versions of the tracks, and available for longer than a week? (admittedly, it has been a while since I listened to the archives with regularity).

 

[Terbinator]

Oh come on. Halo 4 and no MO'D Halo?

 

[mclem]

I hope so because I'm getting my kids ready for bed now and can no longer listen.

Classic FM has 'Listen Again' in the player, I assume this would be included (It's "Saturday Night at the Movies", formally)

 

[BlazingDarkness]

They opened with different FF tracks

 

[kyser73]

I'm not feeling this version of the SMB theme, I must say. I'm glad that this is a thing though. I never thought it would be a commercial radio station doing this instead of the BBC though.

Radio 3 wouldn't touch this subject with a ten foot pole. They had a show about movie OSTs and got a barrage of complaints.

Classic FM 's Top 100 classical has about 3 or 4 game pieces in its Top 10, plus Howard Goodall is genuinely into expanding & popularising orchestral & instrumental music. He's done a ton of really good TV shows from a musicology perspective as well as 'Guide to the...' looking at the different classical forms such as opera, symphony and so on.

 

[SeriuzBiznus]

Oh come on. Halo 4 and no MO'D Halo?

To be fair, the Halo 4 soundtrack is a great soundtrack, it's just not a great Halo soundtrack.

 

[Terbinator]

To be fair, the Halo 4 soundtrack is a great soundtrack (just not a great Halo soundtrack).

It is, and I absolutely loved the few odes to Marty's work within the H4 OST, but if you're going to have two Halo tracks at least have some of the source stuff.

 

[mclem]

Incoming Baba Yetu! (Well, I assume, at least)

Yep.

 

[robotrock]

Baba Yetu???!?!

 

[Andrefpvs]

Here comes Baba Yetu! OOOOOOOOOOOH

 

[iNvid02]

baba yetu

 

[JB2448]

"Baba Yetu" from Civ IV, yup.

 

[Sparse]

Yesss, Christopher Tin.

 

[akaoni]

I fully expect Elton John to burst into song in a moment.

 

[javac]

Whoa this sounds great.

 

[Cjdamon042]

Great, now I'm going to want to start another game on Civilization...

Great music.

 

[Terbinator]

Spoiler

I've never played Civ.

 

[Jachaos]

Angry Birds ? What ?

 

[Theecliff]

Spoiler

I've never played Civ.

I've heard that theme before, but

Spoiler

neither have I.

 

[jonno394]

Castlevania coming up? :excited:

 

[Nzyme32]

Spoiler

I've never played Civ.

Thoroughly recommend the Civ V soundtrack when you get a chance, it's incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH-Qw2pbrNk

Angry Birds ? What ?

I was thinking that, but after the talk he just gave about appreciating games music as music... I'm glad he has an open mind.
