Thanks! :)

Thanks Milo, i already listen this iwth the youtube rip and the feel was, �a little cold maybe? I mean, music is OK but something is telling me this wont be as huge as the Halo first OST, f. ex. Anyway, donwloading it.

does this have the remix tracks as well?

You know so far I've only listened only to the second half of the OST (I don't know why, just randomly decided to skip the first 7 tracks) and must admit that I'm enjoying it. It's a pretty solid score. I wouldn't say that a change of a composer had a negative impact on the music of the franchise. This guy certainly understands that he is expected to deliver only high quality stuff and so far had been doing a pretty good job at it.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering a limited edition of the OST... before it's too late.

No.

Thanks for the upload.

Well first half is kind of ... meh, second is better.

Thank you!

thanks for the upload :).
so far I think it's ok, nothing really special. there definately is this halo-type of sound coming through in the way things are orchestrated. but on a thematic level (and I don't mean, that I miss the halo theme by O'Donnell) it's a bit anonymous. a lot of rhythm and epic orchestral build-ups, mighty chords etc but it feels a bit empty. after a first listen it feels a bit like "I have heard that before".
There are definately some strong parts, like the vocals in Legacy, which are wonderful, but it reverts back to this string ostinato da-da-da du-du-du so quickly, that it feels like it could have been composed for a lot of other games or films as well, not especially Halo.

Thanks for this.

Now to listen and weed out the terrible from the good.

Thank you!

It does have it's moments. The first three tracks are ok, but it picks up steam on it's later cues.[COLOR="Silver"]

That was fast. Thanks.
Should be interesting to hear a Halo score that wasn't done by Salvatori or O'Donnell.

Thanks!

Looking at the rip and it seems the ost is missing tracks like usual.

There's a rip already? Or are you talking about the game?

Its such a different sound compared to previous Halo's, but I'm really enjoying it.

Thank you！

The game has been leaked last week.

Thanks!

Many thanks!

Awesome, thanks! Really the only track that I'm absolutely loving so far is just 117. I agree that half of the soundtrack is meh, and the other half is decent. There's some other decent tracks in here but nothing really amazing.

yay thank you!

Thanks for the upload but it's still not better than Halo 2. :P

Where'd you find the rip?

Oh, I didn't know they brought in a new composer for this one; interesting. Look forward to listening, thanks.

thanks, thanks, thanks thankssssssssssssss

For me Halo was O�Donnell and Salvatori and I really like what those two guys were doing all these years. There were better moments (Halo 1 and 2, ODST), and worse (Halo 3). Overally Halo music had two important features - it was memorable and instantly recognizable. You always knew that U R listening to Halo score. And I loved that. So I really didn't know what to expect here. And why Davidge? Out of all composers in the freaking world? It was a clue to me.

After first minutes I was not very happy. Mediocre RCPish drum banging and live orchestra that sounds like not the most expensive samples. But I was listening and trying to enjoy it. So I changed my music receptors to listen to "electronica performed by an orchestra" and it worked well. I started to enjoy it. And suddenly tracks like "Solace" or "117" happened, unexpected finale "Green and Blue" etc. Really, really solid pieces.

So yeah, it's not bad, even very good at times, but it lacks one thing. Identity. Unfortunately.

Thanks for the share.

I prefer O'Donell's action tracks, but the grandious ones of this one.

And I'm not even a Halo fan :D

This is excellent. Any word on the Remix disc?

The word is - the disc is bundled with Limited Edition OST which will become available on November 6th.

117 isn't even composed by Neil. It is by Kazuma Jinnouchi.

Oh, it was originally Oct 22 then delayed, right?

Yep. Here's a quote from official website:

The release date for the Halo 4 Original soundtrack limited edition box set has moved back to Nov 6th due to an exclusive content reveal.

Fair enough.

Going to correct myself about remixes: they are available with another version of digital release of HALO 4 OST:

Halo 4: Original Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/35968)

However this Deluxe Edition has 21 track, 6 of which are additional remixes, it is still not as many as there will be on the 2nd disc of the Limited Edition (Nov 6th), which will have a total of 14 remixes.

Halo 4 Soundtrack (http://www.halo4soundtrack.com/usd.html)

According what the official page says, there should be 3 more Neil Davidge tracks, which will not be included in limited edition?

Must be I'm blind. Which 3 tracks are you referring to?

- Exclusive free download voucher for 3 Neil Davidge tracks on the Halo game but not on the OST plus 3 additional remixes
If I understand it correctly, these 3 non-remix tracks are not included in CD and only available for those bought standard version to download?
I assume some guys already get their copies and perhaps have the download voucher?
I am not gonna to receive my CD until early November, so I am not really sure about it.

I think you understood it correctly.
And looks like the voucher is exclusive to a Standard CD version only, Limited Edition is not cool enough to get one.

Oh wow thank you very much!

nice ! im excited ..

Thanks!!!

Thanks :)

Thanks for upload! ^^

Where did you find the rip? Can you provide a link? I bought the 21 track version from iTunes (with the remixes) and was disappointed that there wasn't more score than 15 tracks. I could honestly care less about the remixes.

He did not find the rip, he is making one. It is currently work-in-progress.

By the way I do care about remixes, so it'd be nice if you upload the 21 track version of Deluxe Edition from iTunes.

I bought it off iTunes so isn't it DRM encoded? It's also at 256kbps. Only other way I can think of to do it is to burn to disc then rip...

If you mean it won't be playable on other people's players than I think it should be fine. There's been a lot of iTunes releases here at ffshrine and none had DRM restrictions that I know of.

i was under the impression that itunes music was drm free, however i know the originals will still contain itunes information (such as purchased by, account name, etc) in the files themselves, but from my experience using the option to "create acc version" removes this infomation (checked with mediainfo).

but i don't think the drm exists, because i was able to play both the original and the acc version on my android (poweramp) without problems, and i was also able to play both files on my own player (mpc) on windows without issue too~

edit: converting the .m4a to another file type is an option too, but i think this would just degrade the quality as itunes music is variable bit-rate.

Thank you kinda sir!

Never Forget Redux is missing from the offcial soundtrack and so is this one Halo Fest: Halo 4 Concept Art Glimpse - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAKmu2yn3Fk)

thx

Man I listened to a few samples of the songs and there are about 3 that I've heard so far that have the Halo feel.

So far the only Halo game that didn't capture that at all was Halo Reach. Game sucked every way.


I want something like Halo CE. It has some of the best music I've ever heard. Too me that is Halo. Also Halo 2 also has some amazing Music. It fell apart somewhat this gen.

thanks!@

Ah...a new composer. Well, let's give it a shot!

Thanks for sharing . I thought this wouldn't come out until the game came out.

Here are the 6 bonus tracks from the CD. 320k Mp3's straight from the website:
Halo 4 Bonus Tracks 320kbps MP3.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?ucdcrdts60bd570)

Hmm, I dunno if I'm just biased or what, but this just doesn't compare to Marty's work. Although 117 is beautiful.

Thanks for the upload.

It's okay.. but you're right it doesn't compare well, there are a few really good tracks (Awakening and 117) but nothing I would consider amazing, the rest are mediocre.

@uminoken Thanks for the bonus tracks!

I recommend removing the front cover images off the bonus tracks as they're a bit soft and a little dark.
Better image below, best using it as a folder.jpg

thank you for sharing!

I appreciate this. The music to this game was amazing!

It's actually grown on me, I said earlier there's "nothing I'd consider amazing" well.. let's revise that. 117 and Awakening are my faves and are absolute classics. Also worthy of mention are Halo, Belly of the Beast and To Galaxy.

thanks

thanks, awesome stuff!

volume 2?
