Now here's a ravishing score for a fantasy game that easily stands out among all the other efforts in this genre.
In fact it is, at least in my opinion, only beaten by the score for the PS2 Game "Primal" and James Hannigan's Potter Scores.
However, the title "The Complete Recordings" might be misleading as it does not only contain music recorded with the Orchestra
but also music recorded in Steve Burke's Studio.

This isn't a problem at all since I find the tracks without the live orchestra quite charming and enchanting, they are a really
beautiful addition to the score and since most of the tracks are still orchestrated, this shouldn't bother anyone.
The music itself is quite what you would expect when listening to a fantasy score,
this one is escpecially heavy on vocals and tribal drums, but at the same time it is rather unique.
There is a certain "piratey" feel to it all, as Steve Burke himself quoted, and it even gives you an idea what Pirates of the Caribbean would have sounded like if it was done by him.

I'm not excactly a fan of The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, I prefer Los Angeles or London, but they delivered a very good peformance here.
The only complain I have with the score is that some of the tracks recorded in the studio would have sounded so much better with a live orchestra and
I can't shake off the feeling that Steve Burke intended to orchestrate everything but was hindered by production costs.
There is also some bittersweetness when I listen to it since Rare is slowly declining since they were bought by Microsoft and now
all future plans for a Kameo 2 were cancelled and Steve Burke left the Studio for good.
He did a great job on this one, his score even won some prices and awards, so it's really sad to know that he had to leave the studio.
Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it all, it is really special.

There seems to be a problem with Track 30 of CD2 so I've reuploaded it. Hymn for Kameo (Alternate).mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/tzotb5bhmjd/30. Hymn for Kameo (Alternate).mp3)

This is one of the most underrated games of all time, and the excellent score helped make it great.

Listening to the original OST CD actually made me go out and buy the game a few years back.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the upload, this is a truly marvelous score. I'm shocked that more people aren't aware of it. The sound quality is great too, is this a rip? Or was the whole score actually released somewhere? I'd gladly purchase it if that was the case. (I already own the single CD version.)

Still, great find, thanks for sharing!

Count me as part of the problem. I played a demo of the game in a retail store once and thought the game was confusing crap, of course I could barely hear the game with all the background noise at the time. Wish I had given the game a chance now that I have heard this incredible set of recordings. Definitely going to make it a point to find a copy of this game, thank you so much for posting this.

Thank you very much! I'm a fan of your presentation, it clearly shows that this one and the Gothic 3 album are labours of love - which is the same approach I take when doing game rips.

To avoid any more confusion, this music was taken from the offical rare site where Steve Burke made the rest of the score available for free. But it seems it is no longer available and nowhere else to be found. I combined them with the offical OST.

He did not have anything to do with this... I've asked him. We were in correspondence a while back when I got the game rip from here. He gave me some of the titles for unused songs included in the game; titles that differ from what is shown on this release.

gsoundtracks (http://www.gsoundtracks.com/) has a link to the additional music from Kameo. It's from where I got the rest of the music. But as I said it is no longer working. Some individual music tracks were originaly combined so I did cut them for a better listening experience and gave them new titles (based on the game).

Yeah, the music that was on Rares site was only about a fourth of the total music. Steve Burke gave me the titles of half of the tracks on the three 15min music tracks, and the rest from the game rip..
Though there was more music between the game rip and first ost then in this release

Vinphonic

Now that I've listened to it again, there is definetly music from somewhere else but I no longer know from where I got it.

The music in this release was made for Kameo.. 2 or 3 tracks are brand new. The rest is either in the OST, game, or on the site

It is all there. However, I think the forest and water boss reuse music. Not 100% sure, but I know it is all there

You'll be happy to know that the guys who did the epic Primal Soundtrack are also doing the soundtrack for Bethesda's upcoming game Brink. I'm trying to find samples, but can't find any.

That is marvellous news! I had just pre-ordered this game off of Steam, and that just made me even more excited about it.

You wouldn't mind reuploading the third disc, would you? The .7z file for it is corrupted, and contains no files.
