cohRock Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'll add two votes for William's Square. One for here, and the other for being the song leading off my CoH website since Dec. 2012. * http://r0k.us/rock/games/CoH/HallsOfHeroes/ I find it peaceful and somehow somber and hopeful at the same time. The first time I heard it, I felt, "Yes! This is a place of heroes." -- Rich -- Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakwatch Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 So many good tracks, but I definitely have a few where I'll turn up the volume as I pass through the area. Brickstown, The Crescent: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//5/5d/Brickstown_TheCrescent.ogg So smooth. So jazzy. Recluse Victory, Sector 1: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//a/a9/J10_faded.ogg PERFECT music for exiting the hero base. Galaxy City, Nebula District: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//6/6f/GalaxyCity_NebulaDistrict.ogg BIG nostalgia. Crey's Folley, Carnival Town: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//0/0d/CreysFolly_CarnivalTown.ogg Remember when you first found carnival town? Siren's Call, Randalls Ruins: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//9/91/SirensCall_RandallsRuins.ogg Flying through the ruins while keeping an eye out for Stalkers? The music just works. 2 "All thoughts of retreat are discarded as counterproductive, there is no other course of action but to press on.

Riverdancer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Brickstown's The Crescent. It's just so chill and downtempo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likara Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 CoH/V definitely has good music, problem is it's all short tracks that don't loop, so I end up with my own music playing most of the time. As such, other than Atlas Park, I can't associate any tracks with any area. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukase Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I like the bit in Constellation Row in Echo:Galaxy City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyhawke Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Brickstown: The Crescent. When I first started playing on HC last year and eventually heard that music, I had a grin from ear to ear. Funny how just a quick snippet of music can be so welcome. Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts.

DougReyn Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 For me it's the Atlas music. Take me right back to 2004 everytime. I'd probably recognize a lot of the tracks if they'd be played somewhere, but usually couldn't say which zone/area they are associated with. Which is odd, since i usually value good soundtrack way above good graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Crescent' is the name of it. That's the one I was going to say, yeah. It's very short, and it only plays in that one section in the entire game, but it's still my favorite. https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//5/5d/Brickstown_TheCrescent.ogg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpousVileTerror Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 So, uh . . . does anyone know where to track down the old music composer(s)? I would rather like to hear some of their other, non-City work. Get a feel for if they're someone who might take some commission work . . .

ImpousVileTerror Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 As I understand it, the sound fonts were open source, but the music was still composed by someone. Who that someone is . . . well . . . I would very much like to thank them! And no offense to Jason Graves, as they are very clearly a talented musical composer . . . but Going Rogue's music just didn't "fit" with the rest of the game, in my opinion. Something was lost in establishing that level of professional musical detail. Something just didn't translate, and the music of Going Rogue definitely sets it apart from the rest of the game, making it almost alien. Which . . . I guess, is appropriate, all things considered.

Aberrant Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 @ImpousVileTerror According to the credits in the manual (circa Good Versus Evil Edition) Cryptic Studios Sound & Music Department Michael Henry only good link I can find Joe Lyford only good link I can find Additional Sound & Music Kevin Manthei - Wikipedia Kevin Riepl - Wikipedia And beyond Cryptic: Going Rogue: Jason Graves - Wikipedia Paragon Studios Adam Kay (Listed as Sound Engineer. Can't find any solid info about them.) As far as I'm aware Michael Henry composed City of Heroes. Joe Lyford, Kevin Manthei & Kevin Riepl composed CoV. Jason Graves composed Going Rogue. No idea if Adam Kay was a composer. 1 2 Check out the Unofficial Homecoming Wiki! Contributions welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
