Game News Sample a piece of Wasteland 2's music

[Shadenuat]

You'll get a motherfuckin' hover tank!!

I appreciate Mark Morgan mostly because of his P:T soundtrack, which was like normal dark ambient stripped of excessive electronics, and a bit more similar to fantasy orchestral soundtracks. The problem with dark ambient is that it's frequently too monotonous, but it doesn't apply to Mark Morgan. I'm especially fond of the more subdued Mortuary and Sigil tracks. More similar to this than what you would expect from your standard electronic dark ambient.

Aphex Twin plagiarizer stealing composing a derivative, shitty "suspenseful" piece, what a surprise. First there are 900+ pages of derp, and now this.

Hmm, I thought Aphex Twin only had a few ambient songs in this style, mostly from this album, whereas most of the rest is just IDM with its chaotic beats that you would expect from experimental electronic musicians. While a number of Morgan's tracks are similar to Aphex Twin's, most are original and more consistent in style. I'm not an expert on Aphex Twin, but surely he's not a pioneer of dark ambient and this sort of atmosphere had been used by many other artists - say, Zoviet France.

This is going to be an awesome soundtrack for my ranger/mutant cultist relationship simulator.

 

[catfood]

Sounds awesome IMO. Looks like Morgan hasn't run out of artists to plagiarize lost his touch.


Oh wait this is the Codex what the fuck is this piece of shit this isn't like Wasteland 1 music at all banal shit boring popamole

 

[Ion Flux]

A song without plagiarism is a boring song.

 

[Stabwound]

I can't really say much regarding the music taken out of context. It's not bad, I guess. It doesn't at all fit the recent mockup screenshot they released, though. I get more of a Deux Ex/Shadowrun vibe from this.

 

[madbringer]

Oh no, this vaguely sounds like something else, why won't he make dark/tribal/industrial ambient that sounds like contemporary Nicaraguan indie technical jazz?


Welp, at the very least, even if the game turns out bad, i'll get another solid Mark Morgan OST out of Wasteland 2. Sweet. :D

 

[Outlander]

I like it. The tune itself isn't anything extraordinary but Morgan is definitely heading in the right direction.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

It makes me nostalgic about Fallout 2.

 

[Atomic]

banal, shit, boring

 

[l3loodAngel]

This somehow reminds me of Planescape. I want this game to good so badly.

 

[tindrli]

someone deleted my coment

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Not bad, not bad.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Fucking fantastic.

 

[Excommunicator]

I quite like it. I think the objective is to communicate a darker mood without drawing too much attention to the music and it achieves that.

The music fits well with the concept art, but not so much with that alpha screenshot. Hopefully that is something they consider.

 

[DakaSha]

Sounds great. Haters gonna hate

 

[EG]

I wonder how "loud" it's supposed to be in game . . . if it's at Fallout 1's usual volume, it'd fit just fine.

Nothing could fit well with that screen shot, Ex.

 

[Alex_Steel]

Much better than the crap Jeremy Soul makes.

Hyperbole detected.

 

[curry]

anyone know who he plagiarized this time?

 

[Gakkone]

anyone know who he plagiarized this time?

Your joke is plagiarised.

 

[EG]

anyone know who he plagiarized this time?

Everyone.

 

[Weierstraß]

A little too ambient for my tastes, but it's not bad.

 

[MisterStone]

I feel like Lynrd Skynyrd would fit the ranger concept art better than this forgettable ambient stuff...

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

A little too ambient for my tastes

Christ. Not like it's Thomas Koner or something. You don't want the game's music to distract you, that's the whole goddamn point.

Don't you dare bring sense into this topic.
