Ad Astra

Self-made anthem of Median XL, a glorious modification of Diablo 2 made by BrotherLaz.

The name comes from Latin phrase meaning 'To the stars'.

Enjoy!

Inspired by Arcturus?

@SKIPPNUTTZ

Nope, inspired by the motto 'Ad astra per aspera'.

Just realized I never told you how much win this contains nor how awesome it is. Or maybe I did, but it was possibly too long ago, and saying it again won't hurt.

GJ, but you still lost the bet.

@Nettmixx

Hi, NexX, you meant the bet about 'The return of the troll'?

[samelfou]

how have you done the work? real instrument or programme? :P

very good work too :P

[REV3N4NT]

Of course I didn't record it with real orchestra - How'd you think I'd manage to come by dozens of musicians and the money to pay them? :D

It was made via VST instruments.

@Modsbylaz

Too bad this is not true as the OP later clarified, but you somehow didn't bother to disclaim it here...

The popularity train idea is also a fail for much better choice could be made to parasite upon something else's fame.

This thing, however, was written as an honor to the mod. I wonder what you would consider more MXL related, but anthems are usually quite different from the monotonously-tempered DII soundtrack tracks.

[Modsbylaz]

Original poster told me I'm scum because I lied and betrayed him (ie. announced I was leaving Median). He had a history of whining about patch content as well so his account was deleted.

Chance that this is actually about Median instead of an attempt to hitch a ride on the popularity train by attaching an unrelated song to it: 85%.

[Angerelic]

Really beautiful!

But isn't it a little too peaceful / gentle for MXL?

I've always imagined this darker, more ominous orchestreal score.

@REV3N4NT

Why yes... or at least I think so :P.

I mean, it's not like I have won, no of course not... This goes much further than a simple victory would, this is an obliterating overkill which shall echo through time for generations. I'd even say more, it's a magnificent demonstration of how [...] and then again that'd take us [...] Because tell me gentlemen, ain't those the very basis of our major and [...] well I say "NO". We will not bend nor give up since that would represent [...]

Hmm... I think so, yeah :P.

I mean, he didn't post even one more time; it's not like I won, no... This goes further than a mere victory would, this-... this is overkill!
