GWX menu music question

[Jimbuna]

An excellent choice if I may say so

[Capa]

I completely agree on all your points, Lehmann. It's more a matter of specific style rather than whether or not the music should be emotional. I found the original music had an emotional pang to it while being moody and subdued. When I hear things like the GWX music and, say, "Requiem for a Tower" which is used a lot on fan made trailers, I think of a crescendo of all out war and devastation. 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.

I always thought it also fitted perfectly.

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.

No worries at all Capa. Different strokes for different folks.

always interested in ear candy. Random question, does the gramophone add a needle crackle or was that just added to the music pack I'm playing with?

The needle crackle is entirely dependant on the quality of the music file....some of my more modern era music tracks are mp3 quality.
