The Town of Lonelywood

[vivalaliberty]

I am so happy that I still have these IWD and BG games on cd's. I play them to relax some times. I love the isometric view and the story. Dragon Age Origins was a great tribute to old RPG, but still these old games will last in our hearts to the end of time.

[PiesTfojegoPiesa]

Immidiately I feel this ultimate Inon Zur's and Jeremy Soule's cllimate. Wonderful.

[steve018574]

HOMM3 seems to have similar music to Icewind Dale

[ppw00]

@steve018574 Sorry, but, great as HOMM3 (and its music) was, this is superior.

[QueenSayel]

I loved Heart of Winter. Lonelywood was AMAZING. Town of mysteries.

[Grimmnirr]

Tear twists in the eye ;s

[LastdayofHumanity]

Its because ive heared this music that i decided to play Icewind dale !!!

[Olhor10]

If you guy and girls like such epicness ,then I recommend you legendary band Wintersun formed by a former of also legendary Ensiferum Jarii Maenpaa. Pure epicness! He sings about stars and galaxy ,time ,death and especially ,about winter ;) Check out: WINTERSUN!!! (from maniac to maniacs! ;D)

[Raistlinh]

@Olhor10 Good one! I love this band. We used one of their soundtracks as a battle music in d&d :D it was awesome. We kicked the asses of the undead minions!

[larodem]

Best theme in Icewind dale, and Icewind dale have a LOT of good themes.

[speeddeamon90]

Tho i hav never played the game the soundtracks area AMAZING who made them?

[konoko1984]

@speeddeamon90 Late answer but... Soundtrack composed by Jeremy Soule.

[speeddeamon90]

@konoko1984 Oooh thnx is he still active composing music for games like this if yes wich ones?

:)

[konoko1984]

@speeddeamon90 He wrote music for many games. Like Neverwinter Nights, Guild Wars, Morrowind and Oblivion...

[speeddeamon90]

@konoko1984 Wow i know the games but never play them xD if the music is good as this must check then thnx again

[Nhordmyr]

@speeddeamon90 you definitely go for it! if you like lore and not fast-paste games

[builditkeepit]

This game took me to another world that I wished was real.

[teldiron]

It seems to me that fantasy like this could only exist at one time and is now dead. There are plenty of Peter Jackson wannabees now, urban fantasy, dark&gritty, but anything with a classical high fantasy feel is usually automatically parodying itself or failing because of the engine (NWN2) and so on.

[aekhoo]

Fantastic. Almost without equal. I am in LOVE with the Forgotten Realms. I can't thank you enough for uploading this.

[randomwords7007]

I have a music mod for Morrowind that adds this song, along with other IWD/IWD2 tracks, into Morrowind. AWESOME running around Vivec with this playing.

[greekwolf]

I think this is Jeremy Soule's best composition. His Morrowind theme is a close second.

[LordsWeapon]

@greekwolf I agree but IWD has a sound that brings you back ten years....no game ST has ever done that for me

[gedenbyfield]

Has anybody else noticed the beginning of this track, is very similar, if not identical to the theme music in Oblivion? It is the same composer

[Hospitalier14]

Powerful,very powerful soundtrack. It makes me think that this track welcomes me to Icewind Dale once more.....

[Beldame333]

Icewind Dale = EPIC!!!

[mybirch]

I couldn't agree more. :) IWD soundtracks are rather pretty and the game itself grants so unique fantasy experience that I must say I want Black Isle back as well...

[PolishNord]

Czysta Melancholia i Nostalgia....To jest E.P.I.C.K.I.E

[AWuPeTV]

tak właśnie

[Dalethan]

I thought that I was listening to NwN theme at the beginning ;) It seems that every D&D game soundtrack is wonderful.

[LastdayofHumanity]

wonderful, so sweet , so delicate;...dreaming

[Grimmnirr]

" i must play again" i said when i heard that soundtrack ;p

[nihilusJ90]

Tempus be my witness, IWD really does have the most epic soundtrack...

[NEDV2008]

Icewind have the best soundtracks of all cRPG games... this is my small opinion ;)

[ponyfang]

I have the original IWD soundtrack from the collectors set. good buy!!!

[pioerghaozprhgorueir]

Hands down the best game music ever, better even than the Easthaven theme...

[FuckYouLetMeLogIn]

If you buy the IWD2 collector's edition boxed set, it has a bonus disk that has this song and the other songs that were part of Icewind Dale: Heart Of Winter, as well as the IWD2 sooundtrack.

[Advantix3ple]

listening to it, i wish i'd live there. Feeling like walking lonely under a slow snowfall. The terran paradise, all i wanna ask for.

[Ascyltos]

The Italian metal band Rhapsody stole parts of this in their song "Shadows of Death."

[xxAtlantianKnightxx]

So lovely town....

At the spine of the world...

<333

[HELLINMAN]

I can't forget this lovely and nord town, nostalgia...

I am going to install Icewind Dale again now...!

[Gracz87]

Jest to mój ulubiony utwór z całej ścieżki dźwiękowej tej gry.

Its my favourite track from this game.

[Artionis]

One of my three favorite games of all time!! thee other two are WoW & Oblivion... These games i'll never get tired of playing:) Icewind Dale also has a sweet ost & was thee first out of thee three i started playing which grants it "legendary" in my book.

[drhelio212]

Thee?

[mindeexas]

Epic games are these :/ why there is no more games liked that in developement ?:/

[triluve]

the thing is that it is epic in every aspects, except in linearity. it could also have a better (MORE-MORE-MORE) story.

[yousini]

Games post less to develop, so you made niche games. Not anymore :(

[brnonnast]

Why can't they make games like this anymore??

[Molo19]

game developers are more and more professional and profit-oriented. back in the day games were made good, as opposed to the polished, bite-size snacks that games are today. I'll stick to 90s classics (coupled with some XB360).

[Hospitalier14]

thats it.they only look for profit.

Icewind Dale will forever stay in my HDD!

[pk000]

lol this game didn't come out "that" long ago..only 2002..

[Molo19]

2000 actually, IWD2 was released 2002.

[pk000]

my bad. i thought this track was from iwd2.

[Fymious]

Where can you buy these or download the soundtracks!

[Runazarag]

They can be find in game . Then you will need to extract them by one music tool . I dont remember its name now but you will find it on Sorcerers place

[forgezpl]

You can too ask at gamemusichall. They have oryginal CDs with ID music.

[Fymious]

I miss games like this. The story to them (BG Series and ICE WIND DALE) are just awesome. Too much graphics and not enough story.

[rybueno]

This soundtrack is so epic, I WANT BLACK ISLE BACK!!

[EmperorLjas]

Fortunately Black Isle didn't make these songs, but it's still a shame BI is gone. Interplay goes on, though, and you'll never know if something good comes out of it.

[Del1010]

Exactly!! Blac Isle made the best RPG games ever!

[Fymious]

Then along came Atari!

[Fymious]

You and me both!

[jonsson666]

missing those times ... ;(

[koleszka35]

@rybueno

Yeah Black Isle have done great rpg games

Too bad, no one can create games which have the same spirit like Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale

[LordsWeapon]

@rybueno Hehehe ME TOOO!

[Yarcanox]

@rybueno Black Isle is back. They are now called 'Obsidian Entertainment'

[WereScrib]

@rybueno Just cos I can, and this is totally 2 years late, but most of Black Isle is now Obsidian Entertainment, when Black Isle was shut down by interplay, almost the entire staff moved to found Obsidian and the majority still remain. A few others from the Fallout side of things left for a company called Troika and have since either scattered about the industry or moved to either the former Left 4 Dead makers Turtle Rock or have began working at Obsidian.

[Veke99]

awesome tune, in the start it has same melody as in the dragon battle music :D

[GrapplerMcGEE]

This is so easy to do homework while listening to.

[rosiek1990]

beautiful. just beautiful... I love Soule's scores

[entreri12345]

Fantastic.

[Zekee27]

awesome!! Add Kuldahar to the lise please!! :P

[SodaFanatik]

Icewind Dale has the best game soundtrack I've ever heard.

[Gloenthal]

I agree. Simply stunning. Beautiful.

[Animotion]

agreed stunning

[cranenoir]

i agree with u.

[TheSanguineNight]

@SodaFanatik i agree but don't forget tes III morrowind and tes IV oblivion

[triluve]

@SodaFanatik along with Fallout 1-2!! DONT FORGET MY FRIEND!!!

[ZeppelinFloyd53]

Did Soule do this. Sounds like his work.

[retardinho]

Yep. I think this was his first game soundtrack. At that time (and still today) I thought of it as one of the games with best music ever.

[Tumnaselda]

Soule's first game soundtrack is that of Total Annihilation.

[NESfan34]

Secret of Evermore (SNES) was his first.
