The Music of Video Games [283] Cannon Fodder

[bormisha]

1 thing: the music was composed by Jon Hare, not Richard Joseph. Also, three tracks from the game are missing in this video ("Mission complete", "Phase Complete" and "Game over"). The Phase complete is not a short tune, and I like it very much. Anyway, the soundtrack can be downloaded as a gamerip. The custom music files can be played with DeliPlayer.

Been searching for the music that starts at 2:34 for many years. Thank you.

[brakokarasu99]

I should start a band, just to play the main theme. It's that great.

Absolutely brilliant. A tune that stays with you forever, and added a haunting atmosphere to a great fun game. There was something very special about this. how it all went together perfectly. R.I.P. Richard, thank you so much.

Richard Joseph was such a great composer and is still so sorely missed within the video game industry. Its videos like this one that keep his legacy alive! One of the absolute best composers! RIP Richard Joseph.

@Otouto72 He's dead? Awww.... :-O :-(

That made the recruitment/obituary music even sadder!

[Otouto72]

@InfernalNightfaery Yes he died March 4, 2007 of lung cancer aged 53. The demise of a genius and a pioneer in video game music. And yes it does make that piece of music even sadder =(

just imagine if this was on one of the call of duty or medal of honor or battlefield games as that would really get those political correct idiots uptight

[Futre4]

Mighty game.

One Hell of a game back in the days. The graphics, playability, music, and rank system. On the Amiga no doubt.

An absolute classic. The music was written by the late, great Richard Joseph.

Sensible Software made the best games ever.
