@DunkleMaterie117

Why wouldn't you want to listen to the first minute or so?

@GameMusicCompilation You don't say?!

[GameMusicCompilation]

@itzoverninethousand

the tracks were remixed by other composers. sounds more classical overall.

[itzoverninethousand]

Oddly, I didn't like it. I didn't found the mood of SoM in these tracks...

[BigLikeTheSun]

The violen in place of the piano is kinda sad..

@TheOneartist The name of the company is worth only face value.

It's the people within it that matters.

[XxAussieFuryxX]

@TheOneartist It is a gimmick, but know that some of the most talented composers I've heard have created music for games. Some do both, like Harry Gregson-Williams (Metal Gear Solid)

@ElliotCarver ... Whoops. Wrong video.

I don't see how 0:00-1:33 is prophecy (the flying theme) at all

I'm SO glad they will repeat this concert this year in cologne, got my tickets the moment I knew about it. I don't even care for the rest of the songs, I'll be there just for this one.
