This soundtrack was just recently released on Sumthing Else Music Works game soundtrack label and is a great listen! I suggest that you purchase a copy if you enjoy it to support their efforts. Thanks to Gamemp3s for releasing this!

Firstly, thank you very VERY much for uploading! I've been curious about this for ages and then I completely forgot it existed... and then it turns up here! :)

So, to the music - well, what can I say? Superbly performed, nicely orchestrated... nothingness. It took four people to write this - including a name I recognise from a fair few years ago, the award-winning Richard Birdsall. And yet, I get that strangely hollow feeling that this is all blow and absolutely no go. I hope that somebody will understand what I mean. If you strip away the extremely thorough orchestration and just look at the music - well, the outwardly impressive nature of it becomes signficantly subdued...

All gratitutde for the upload and respect for the poster is deeply felt, of course.

[Edit: Removed pointless ranting session about how much I hate my father since it's got absolutely bugger-all to do with Total War!]

I appreciate your comments but I believe your comment will go over most people's heads and few will get your point. I take it you suggest that the music is outwardly awesome and complex but inwardly far too simple. I can understand that but all the same the music gets my blood pumping and the big orchestra is refreshing from a recent western game soundtrack.

Careful, I just might suggest to you a number of fantastic game soundtracks if i were to infer that you consider game soundtracks to be not so great :)

Pretty good listen, but shallow and kinda boring after some time. But most of action-oriented/bombastic scores are boring for me. Only few of them I can listen all over again (1st Mercenaries comes to my mind, MoH Frontline). So it's my fault that I don't like it as much as I probably should;).

And about Richard Birdsall. Is this the same guy, who won first prize in Garritan orchestration contest (which - by the way - Kentaro Sato should have won imo)?

Yeah, that's the guy. I thought his piece was pretty awful, to be honest - he's done some good work, but that thing that he submitted to Garritan - Knights and Magic, or something - sounded like a nicely orchestrated, derivative Zimmer knockoff.

Still, I suppose it's nice to see the "little guy" getting a break.
