Project Lore

First

I'll have to check it out, I work chat technical support and listen to music all day.

FIRST!

Blizzard's music has always been fantastic.
I must get my hands on this record, I guess.
And Drawe..
Go burn in hell.

i freakin' love the music from wow.

First

I'll never forget that first time I stepped into Stormwind... Not only did it seem like a vast city (not so much anymore) but the chorus I was greeted with blew me away.

When I got to Howling Fjord I actually turned down my sound FX to nearly nothing so that I could listen to the music on it's own. I love it!

I should really invest in the WoW soundtracks... thanks for the reminder!

Also... any comment that solely says "First!" should automatically be deleted. *^_^*

First! hahahaha nah jst pokin fun at imbetterthanyou :P
my dad came in while i was flying in storm peaks and he commented on how good the music was. said he really enjoyed it, and hes the type of bloke who listens to ACDC regularly :)

I actually convinced a guildie who never listens to the music in-game that the wrath zone music was some of the most awesome in-game music he'd find.

He asked why I'd actually purchased the collector's edition and I mentioned the soundtrack and artbook as being more than worth the extra cost, and that I often played the wrath soundtrack in my car.

He tried it, and then got angry because he'd been playing for months without hearing this beautiful music.

You can also buy the music in the iTunes store. No need for eBay scammers.

One of the original Mortal Combat collectors editions had a music disc with songs for each of the characters. It was an amazing disc, and I managed to lose it somewhere, much to my disappointment as I cannot find it anywhere.

I don't have the soundtrack *yet*, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the soundtrack as I flew around exploring Northrend for the Explorer Achievement.

Subatai Defeats The Knights Templar - 30 minute song from age of empires (I believe number two, the age of kings). Definitely some nostalgia their

I recommend stuff by Nobuo Uematsu, he does the music for Final Fantasy games.
Also a band called The Black Mages, he's basically responsible for them, and it's really good stuff.

i would not be able to get through a day without listening to music while doing some of the mundane job tasks I am required to do. I need to get a copy of WotLK since the Northrend music is just amazing. I sometimes hate VC/Vent while waiting for the raid to start and I am farming and the music turns down so you can hear people talk.

Anyway, you might look into Midnight Sindicate - Dungeons & Dragons Soundtrack (not from any of the movies). I think it fits right in with what you are listening to or wanting to listen to. Where would any RPG be with D&D.

Nice post.

Off the top of my head, the game music that's on my ipod.

Symphonic Music:
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Legend of Zelda - Most of them
Warcraft - Most of them
Fable
Final Fantasy - Most of them
Castlevania - Most, but Symphony of the Night in particular.
Super Metroid
Mechwarior 2
Super Ghouls and Ghosts

Non Symphonic:
Grim Fandango
Interstate 76
Katamari Damacy
Lumines

If u are looking for game music from all the schools of gamin whether if its old console or whatever u can go to a site called zophar.net and with winamp plugins listen to nes, snes, sega and much more to enjoy old school music.

Seriously, no-one has mentioned the Soul Reaver soundtrack? OMG its gooood. Well, if you're like me and you enjoy morose industrial inspired twisted animals sound music. You can get the main title theme on iTunes, called Ozar Midrashim, by a band called Information Society - the front man for the band is/was the sound designer for Crystal Dynamics; amazing.

i got the soundtrack from iTunes and i love it...i listen to it in my car from time to time...

for soundtracks i have on my ipod/itunes...

kingdom hearts
final fantasy
legend of zelda
star ocean
warcraft
starcraft
diablo

if anyone knows where i can get the soundtrack to dragonquest 8..id love you forever lol...that game seriously has some of the best music i have EVER heard in a game

I love game soundtracks, WoW is good but imho it isnt the best. My personal favorite for original unadulterated soundtracks is Final Fantasy VI, but mostly I listen to covers by other bands. The Advantage, Minibosses, and Powerglove are all pretty good if you aren't just looking for pure OST.

I have to admit that I listen to iTunes when I play the game. I'll turn up the music this weekend. But I do love some game soundtracks. In particular Final Fantasy VII, and Lunar 2.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the OST to Gothic 3, by Kai Rosenkranz.
Just don't play the game without the community patch :)

I dont found soooo amazing the wotlk ost... I love diablo 2 LOD ost.

Okay, so you asked to play the WotLK OST (or any WoW OST really) to non-gamers to get their reaction. Here goes:

Great test for this. We just had a family reunion here with Uncles and Aunts in their 70s and 80s, Sister, Brother-in-Law, neice, and my parents. Good food, nice drinks, great conversation, but I was lacking ambiance music. In a pinch I stuck the 2 OSTs from WoW I had (BC and WotLK) into my multi-disk player and let them play on repeat.

At one point conversation died and I noticed everyone was listening to the music. It was the Lament of the Highborn playing. Everyone started asking me who this singer was and where they could get this album.

I admitted these where game OSTs. They were floored.

Needless to say my CDs have passed many hands since then. Thank the Goddess I ripped copies of them onto my hard drive in case anythig should happen to them.

On my mp3 i have loads of soundtracks. i would though recommend the Metal Gear Solid Sountrack to number 2 and 3. these are great and really goes with the story. reading this post im gunna start turning music up and sound effects down! thnx for great post!
