Medal of Honor is one of the best game scores I have ever heard..it ranks with Outcast, Heart of Darkness, and the original Tie Fighter. It is the most "john williams-sounding score" ever, yet it doesn't rip him off. The sequel score should be out soon, it promises to be even better

Miguel, Heart of Darkness is an excellent orchestral score composed by none other than Mr. Bruce Broughton. Highly recommended. It's out by Intrada. The game was release for PC and PSX. Pretty fun... I still haven't finished it.

I had heard that Medal of Honor was going to have a choral theme, along with reprises of the old action themes. I will check out the samples, but I still think that if Giacchino is scoring the game it will be a must buy.

Ok Bye.

I figured Tim might have obtained it without buying the game. I don't own a PSX, so purchasing the game doesn't make sense... unless that's the only way I can get a hold of the score.

BTW I've been away for a long time, I was surprised to see the site fully complete now?

Anyone else own this? Tim, do you think you will be listening more to the first one or the second one? You said the second is a little better - does this mean you'll listen to it more?

There are not many alternatives to looping. The difference between a game and a movie is that a movie has strictly specified timings, a game has not. Unless there's a defined time limit in the game, you cannot know how long a player stays in a level (or whatever), ergo you have to loop.

Tim, I just want to make sure I understand this... If I walk into a Best Buy and ask for these soundtracks, they will sell them to me, seperately from the games, for 1 cent each?[/B]

I'm going to be presenting the World Broadcast Premiere of Michael Giacchino's score to Medal of Honor: Underground on November 11th on CINEMATIC SOUND. I will also be presenting a 40 minute interview I conducted with Mr. Giacchino during the recording sessions. In addition to that I'm currently producing a music video of the Main Theme for Giacchino for him to do what he wishes with it. I filmed about 3 1/2 hours of footage of the recording session in June. I also took 10 of the 11 photo's available in the into sleeve of the CD cover. Oh well, this has been one big shameless plug!

Anyway, you will be able to hear the complete score on the program begin at 12pm EST on Saturday November 11th. Go to http://www.geocities.com/filmmusic1 for more information.

Ok , Bye

Thanks!

I recommend that everyone download it, its beautiful. The hints of the accordian in the theme make it sound just "French" enough And the choral section is one of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time...it reminds me of the boys choir from Glory. I am glad that the Nazi theme makes an appearance, as it now ranks with Vaders theme and the Indiana Jones villian themes as my favorite "bad guy" music
Someone give Giaachino a movie!!!

I just picked up my one cent disc of this. The first track is the best cue, I think. The rest is basically action/suspense music, but it sounds much more inspired than the action material he wrote for The Lost World Playstation game. It's worth the penny for the first track alone. Go get it!

Hope this helps. Go pick up a copy!
