(sorry for dragging up a old topic but it’s a slow-work-day I thought I’d sift through some old bogging favourites :D)

It is amazing the associations you’ll have with music that you’d never really payed close attention to. I found it very nastolgic.

Some of my favorites:
The D2 cycle, but of course I played entirely too much of this game

HoMM, if you really can’t stand opera you probably hated this game to begin with (actually I believe it could be disabled in game for the truly dedicated philistine)

Stuff from Final Fantasy, especially Find Your Way

Last year when they cancelled all those Video Games Live tour dates, I was disappointed, as I had gathered a group of about 10 like-minded friends to go to the event. I’m not averse to spending $50 on a ticket to see a live orchestra play great music. Seeing a musical costs about as much, or more, for good seats, so it doesn’t seem like a big deal for those prices. The $125 ticket that includes a meet-and-greet is practically a bargain if you get to talk to the composers.

Oh, and Jeremy Soule also composed the music for Guild Wars.

And I agree, vocals are distracting while working … particularly creative tasks/fields.

But I’m one of them fools that DOES listen to some of the game music while working at home.. Vocals are distracting!

Jeremy Soule is awesome.. Icewind Dale, Dungeon Siege, ya..

Matt Uelmenn’s Diablo2 music is wicked good, you used to be able to download the MP3’s for the entire game from Blizzard’s site, but I don’t see them anymore.. Huge, dark, dense tapestries of sound, he’s the bomb.

And the music of AO is also beauty, but as it’s assembled from snippets in realtime, look for soundpeaks dot com to get funcom-approved fan-assembled versions..
