The song Experiment really REALLY reminds me of the game music in Star Control 2. Anyone else here ever play that game? Great exploration and action game, plus great plot and artwork; obviously the music is a given excellent feature since I'm comparing  it to mattbentley's music. Pretty much like what I've heard so far with exception to The Waves... it's a bit too teeth grinding to me.. and there's some oddities in pitches and background noise.

Dude- sincerely, thanks for the SC2 comparison - that is my all-time favourite game - and what got me into the idea that music could be good in games! Or worth doing myself (love to do it for a living - unfortunately a very competitive field now...). Unfortunately I' have played it through so many times nothing in it surprises me anymore ;) This would've been one of the first songs I wrote on trackers back in 1997 - probably the first!

Did the re-encoded 'Waves' I posted earlier make any difference? Is it worth replacing it with another one?
I wish activision'd allowed toys for bob to write a decent sequel to SC2 - bureaucracies are strange beasts.
M@!

  Played through Sacrifice with your music and wow.  I didn't realize until now how much the music affects the overall feel of the game.  Liked most of what I heard, might need to go play the full game again to hear the rest.

Well, I installed the new music, but I forgot to back up the music.

Would someone be so kind as to put up the original .ogg files for the original soundtrack?

I really want to listen to the old music again...

I liked the new music, but it's just not the same. I really would like the original music back...

Discovered this works really well with beauty of aquaria mod, as the particular track used in Beauty of aquaria that it gets replaced with is by far the happiest track out of the set, as well as being the longest! :) So - changed thread title-

Hi all - if anyone liked Darkpack, you might enjoy this:
http://xolve.bandcamp.com/

Free to download or pay-as-you-want ie. if you enter zero, it's free.



Electronica/random/industrial/video-game-soundtrack.
It's older tracks of mine, some of which were remastered for use with Darkpack.

Hopefully you like it enough to pay something, if not noooooot a prob.
Also, there's two music videos included with the download (optional download) -
I've been told it's similar to nin, but it's not really...
Enjoy
