Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Soundtrack PREVIEW

Taken directly from Kyd’s website (took from browser cache files to be precise), these are 4 tracks from the ACR album plus one track from Kyd’s own/independent debut album "Ultimatum".

As I was getting the tracks, on the website itself some funky stuff happened, stream names for ACR tracks were changed so you basically have the first and second version of the track names (in brackets). So, names were changed but clips stayed the same.

ACR preview – MEDIAFIRE (http://www.mediafire.com/?01d52eepj7kndmx)

1. Jesper Kyd – City of Constantinople I (Welcome To Kostantiniyye) (3:31)
2. Jesper Kyd – City of Constantinople II (The Crossroads Of The World) (3:31)
3. Jesper Kyd – Ezio Defends Brotherhood (The Wounded Eagle) (2:01)
4. Jesper Kyd – Altair’s Passion (The Traitor) (3:38)
5. Jesper Kyd – Aphelion (2:29)

The tracks have low quality, mono, 80 kb/s, mp3, they are available like that on the site, so no fix for quality, and for streaming only (no direct download, but I got them for ya) .

Enjoy!

P.S. track 3 rocks 😀

Kyd’s trailer music album ‘Ultimatum’ here: Production music from West One Music (http://www.westonemusic.com/album?catno=WOM_FEM_0007#) (full online preview)

…also just noticed, for what it’s worth… on iTunes they have THREE [repeat] THREE AC:R Albums for pre-order! There’s one link where you can pre-order all three together that is labeled "The Complete Recordings" for AU$31.99 which is 80 TRACKS of music from Jesper Kyd and Lorne Balfe!

[Possible Spoilers for the game in the track titles…]

Note, I’m using the Australian store, so might be different globally. But check out iTunes, it’s pretty incredible. Think this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a comprehensive public release for video game music! Consider my mind blown…

^yeah, totally amazing, to say the least 😮

Kyd is still on the series! Good for him. I always felt he was one of two composers to do electronica with a sense of melody with great rhythm. The other one being Vangelis, and it’s no surprise that both men are classically trained.

I am also glad to see that more and more western video game companies are releasing a "complete" soundtrack now. First Skyrim, now AC: Revelations. About damn time I say!

I just hope the complete ACR score won’t be released only as a digital download.

I know some versions of the game are coming with a hardcopy of the "Official Soundtrack" like in Brotherhood/ACII but whether or not they’re releasing hard copies of the 3 Disk version iTunes is advertising, who knows? I would highly doubt it. BUT, I’ll take an OFFICIAL iTunes "Complete" release over any unofficial version any day! I’ve already preordered it, seems a no-brainer to support these kind releases…

post it if you can!
cant wait for rev!

thx

Thanks

Track "Aphelion" is from another album "Fired Earth Ultimatum"

I listened to a few sample of this album and I must say that will be brilliant album

Fired Earth Music – Absolute Magnitude (Jesper Kyd – Epic Choral Dramatic) – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I21RqTpPO4E&feature=related)

^ yeah, I typed that out already in the first post.
narco even gave a link for full preview in the second post.
Few tunes are incredible, the rest is average…

aphelion – pure win.

Here we go…

Sound Byte: Assassin’s Creed: Revelations OST preview – News at GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/sound-byte-assassins-creed-revelations-ost-preview-6343121)

…Gamespot had a short interview with Kyd, and they’ve uploaded two tracks from the game in a slightly higher bitrate than previously posted. 128kbps and (I think) they’re longer samples too. Brilliant stuff, only 6 more days to wait for this score to drop…

Thanks a ton, man!

Im trying to find the piece of music from ACR that plays when you go to the save data (PS3) menu on the PS3 and go the the save data for the MP Beta they had for ACR. Such a soothing yet haunting piece. Anyone know what this track is or where it is?

Edit: Its similar to the Aphelion track.
Edit2: its the same piece as the main track they found the voice for but its just the voice no bass or anything. Another option is does anyone know how i can rip it from my PS3 to mp3 or even just record it?

Since there’s no official release yet of AC:R buddy, there’s nothing "ripped" yet. But the official "Comprehensive" 3 DISK release on iTunes is literally days away (only 5) so I would imagine that, plus many more bits of music, will be contained in that release.

…and I am ever so excited.

Ehh, Animus Editions have been shipped from Ubishop. I know for certain, because I’ve seen pics of people who’ve already got them.

That said, anyone expecting their copy to arrive earlier? I wouldn’t mind ripping the Animus OST CD if I got it in time, but… no signs of it >_<

Patience…

I hope you’re right. I just love that piece. Do you know the track Im talking about?
So am I cant wait. Apparently my collectors edition just shipped today.

I remember Jesper said he is self-tought in an interview, not classical trained.

Apparently my collectors edition just shipped today.

…quite a few have been arriving early. Bunch of videos online over at YouTube… So we’re not too far away from a score leak I’m sure. Either way, I’ve pre-ordered the 3 DISK iTunes version!

Well guys, looks like I’m getting my Animus Edition today, so… Anyone wants a CD rip? 😀

Night Terror, you are my potential hero 🙂

Nah, I’ll do it as the game installs and everything LOL I just hope it doesn’t spoil the game -.-

Chance for a FLAC version man?

Some of the game pre- orders started to surface. The music CD is about the corner. In fact, some people already got it. So I guess that the OST should be here in less than 24 hour. Hoping that someone will upload soon.

Chance for a FLAC version man?

I don’t know how to properly rip a CD into FLAC, sorry :/ I may make it tomorrow, if I have enough time… Anyways I doubt we’ll reach tomorrow without 3 MP3 rips and a FLAC one 😛

Great guide for FLAC, please consider it:

Thread 91868

Chance for a FLAC version man?

We are all very excited to this OST of course. But let us have the mp3 version first 🙂
Why the hurry ? The Flac version will come after that, no doubt about it.

Yeah, but I guess how nobody posted Uncharted 3 in lossless got me thinking.

Don’t worry! I’ll be doing the faster MP3 rip (I’ll rip it with iTunes, configured at 256kbps), and then I’ll finish the EAC config and try to upload a FLAC if no one got one.

So yeah, I’m heading to the store now. See you later guys (and gals)!

Yeah, but I guess how nobody posted Uncharted 3 in lossless got me thinking.

Timing is an art. That says nothing � and everything. So it will surely come patience is a virtue my friend.
