Command & Conquer Music?

[Darkmatter]

What do you guys think of the music in the games? I love Frank Klepacki, he's an excellent composer and the music he did for the game is absolutely awesome. I've acquired most of it via internet, save Generals Music...the rest is awesome, I haven't even played RE1, regular C&C, nor Tiberian Sun or Renegade, yhet I already love the music to all of them.

Frank Klepacki is a musical genius. Too bad he was not used in Generals. He was replaced by Bill Brown for that game. But the stuff he has done from Tiberium Dawn to Red Alert 2 is just astonishing.

I have about 15-20 of his music on my play list from various games.

 

[Darkmatter]

I should send you the torrent...has all his works basically, from C&C, to RA2, to TA, to Renegade. o.o

 

[ChrisH36]

Heh, I haven't used pTorrent in a LONG time.

 

[simpleforce]

lets not forget the intro to ra2, its the greatest intro to any game ive seen.

Hell March RA1 ons so much

 

[Darkmatter]

Ya it does...Valves/What Lurrks/Face the Enemy and others are my favorites. HM rocked as well, it's a war theme I can compare to Terranx1.

 

[ChrisH36]

Lets also not forget Hell March 2, and Destroy >:

 

[Darkmatter]

HM1 > HM2. xD

Power and Grinder > HM2, even...

 

[ChrisH36]

Alas, he doesnt do the music for Command and Conquer now. Bill Brown took his place for Generals.

Failure Westwood, Failure.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Well C&C 3 is supposed to be getting similar music, as EA has stated that their employees have been studying Frank Klepacki's music.

 

[ChrisH36]

Failure Westwood, Failure.

Brown actually did some good tracks.

 

[Laharl]

So I take it the C&C music is higher quality?

 

[ChrisH36]

If played by Frank Klepacki or a rough fact simile, then yes.

Well C&C 3 is supposed to be getting similar music, as EA has stated that their employees have been studying Frank Klepacki's music.

They'll never duplicate it though.

 

[ChrisH36]

Sadly true, they would have just been better off keeping him.

And to believe, he was hired to compose during the days he played as a game tester.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

Well how do you know it won't have better music? He's not the greatest composer ever, ever.

 

[ChrisH36]

We would have to see what the next "Frank" can do before we can actually judge him.

 

[Darkmatter]

What I meant was, it won't have the same feel, because it's not the same person.
