It'd fit perfectly on a GWX trailer with boats sinking, deck guns firing and sailors dying. I'm just nitpicky because songs like that when they imply devastation and horror but nothing is actually happning on screen. It's like someone screaming and crying for what looks like no reason.

Don't get me wrong it sounds awesome and no disrespect to the GWX team for choosing it. I sat here and listened to the whole song staring at the screen the first time I fired GWX up. I've just found myself thinking the mellow sadness of the original theme fits better for me.
To each there own Capa

I have a music library in my gramaohone folder of in excess of 1,000 tracks covering periodic to classical and film scores/themes.

PM me after the GWX release if you like and I'll respond in a positive manner

I'm sure there'll be some to suit your taste and maybe some not so suitable.
