Bruce Broughton – Heart Of Darkness

Hi guys,
Another semi-request from another thread here…

This score, by the magnificent Bruce Broughton, is said to be the first orchestral score ever recorded for a game. I’m not quite sure this claim can be completely verified, so I’ll just say that it’s one of the earliest examples of an orchestral game score, and it’s still one of the very best.

Broughton only has a 55-piece orchestra for this one – The Sinfonia Of London – and really makes every one of them count.

Enjoy! 🙂

Thank yuo so much for deciding to share this score. You and Katie have such a high opinion of this score. I am eager to hear it.

Thanks again.

This was one of the first scores I purchased online a long while ago, it was relatively expensive. I played the demo of the game (not the one included on the CD itself) and was memorized by the opening credits. There’s something about star fields that inspire composers I guess.

Yeah, the demo stroke me too. When I first heard it I was so impressed that I replayed it many times just for the music.

Wow this is still working. I was the among the first who played this great game.

Has anyone got this in FLAC?? Fingers crossed. Pretty Please. Had it but my computer crashed

Deeeead 🙁

May I ask if someone has a link for the lossless version of the soundtrack ? That would be just great !

One of the most fantastic music scores I have heard so far. I am not so optimistic about the existence of a better quality. However, made a very quick search. Was able to found scans. The music CD appearance is amazingly attractive. The colors are so related to the game story. Both the game and the music are among the unforgettable memories of the past. So for those who might pass by here is an alternative download links found @ gh.ffshrine

Thank you very much HLC. Been looking for better quality than youtube forever. All the lossless links are down and noone seems to have it anymore…

I really like this soundtrack. I recomend it to anyone , specially to those who have thing for Sinfonia of London , like my brother.
I am only sad that it is 34 minutes long. 🙁 I wanted to hear more.
I never played the game before, but the music surely is so catchy and wonderfull. 🙂
maybe this is all the music of the game, I dont know. :p

Could any of the above downloaders re-upload this 55 piece of orchestral goodness ? I’ve asked the original uploader but looks like doesnt care to even give a reply sadly.
