Jeremy Soule Creates Oblivion Soundtrack

i'd have to say that Jeremy Soule is probably the best composer i've ever listened to. Morrowind, Dungeon Siege and Oblivion were awesome... and since you usually end up spending lots and lots of hours (hundreds) in those games, a rushing pounding song would get old... the key to good music in those games is to make it so that it comes and goes into your conciousness as you play... it's not meant to be at the forefront of what you're thinking about-the game is- but every once in awhile a stronger melody bursts forth and that's what everyone knows as the "title" or "theme" song of the games... geez people... he's a genius with music, cut him some slack if he didn't play to your exact taste on a song or two... he most certainly doesn't come anywhere near a donkey dick

Well I guess it's only appropriate that he finish off the elder scrolls. I dislike Jeremy Soule's music. It's bland, uninspiring and anticlimactic. I've noticed he's real good at creating a heart winning dramatic title theme but unfortunately, the rest of his stuff ends up this atmospheric, canoodling dredge that I'm sure is partially responsible for a good chunk of boredom experienced by both DS and GW players. How can you not listen to Jeremy Soule's music? It's like the guy works for food- he does music for the majority of games out there. The 'atmospheric dredge' worked for Morrowind though. I liked that soundtrack.

Bill Brown needs to do more soundtracks. Soundtracks that are seemless with the environment, I mean.

You people are idiots. The new theme doesnt suck. And Jeremy Soule doesn't suck. If you had played daggerfall at all you would notice he took some of the melodies from the game and meshed with his own for the new game. I think the theme music is fitting. For those of you that hate his music for whatever reason, you can always play other music. I dont think it should sound like morrowind in the first place since the game takes place in the imperial province and not morrowind. Maybe you guys should watch the 20min video again.

:(

I'd like to see Jesper Kyd do the soundtrack for a fantasy game. The classical theme he did for hitman 2 was epic.

His music is okay, but I think Jesper Kyd would have been a better choice.

The music in GW is too serene and sedated, especially in battle scenes. Has no punch to it.

Well, seems once a person becomes popular there's no stopping the against hating bangwagons.

I wouldn't call him the greatest composer in video games, but he certainly doesn't deserve the venom some people here have for him...

Jeremy Soule is the Don of videogame music. I don't really need to say more than that...

...but I will. He is a fucking genius.

The TA soundtrack is awesome beyond belief, and if he doesn't write the score for Supreme Commander, I will be severely dissapointed.

Not played Morrowind or Dungeon Siege, so I can't comment on the music. If it wasn't any good then I'm sure he was letting one of his lackeys fill in for him on his day off or something.

I like his music, but hate his Direct Song idea.
It allows you to download new music for a game, but doesn't intergrate it with the game at all, just gives you a bunch of .wmv files :\

What's all this Jeremy Soule pootalk! Morrowind soundtrack blew me away, I ripped the music from the game and put in my music library.

I even went online and got more of his music from games. It was good but not Morrowind good.

If you watched the Oblivion presentation you may have noticed the music in the background was mos def Soule, didn't sound exactly like Morrowind but similar atmosphere. That made me happy since I figured Soule was also involved with Oblivion.

On a similar note, the music from Stronghold 1 and 2 is pretty good too, very atmospheric and appropriate for the setting, composed by Robert Euvino.

Jeremy Soule Sucks Donkey Dick!! All his stuff sounds the same. Total Annihilation was good for the time. His stuff is listenable at best.

Hate his music. Hate it. HATE IT.

Used to like it. Realized it all sounds the same.

Bleh.

boo.

Forget Guild Wars, Dungeon Siege, and Neverwinter... you didn't mention his best work... Total Annihilation!

Greatest soundtrack ever.

Actually the new Oblivion theme kinda sucks. Very reminiscent of Guild Wars' music, not Morrowinds, as it is supposed to be. Bah.
