Announcements / Download the Eastern Front Soundtrack

« on: April 03, 2012, 11:42:18 PM »

Hello Eastern Front Fans!


It is with great pleasure that I give to you the Eastern Front Soundtrack, in 320Kbps mp3 (if you really want a different format from the original files that badly then drop me a PM) and ready to download. Before you click that link below, let me just point out that all these tracks will be new to your ears in one way or another, so if you've already got your hands on some of the tracks posted before then you should replace them with these, you will hear them in game when EF is updated.


If you like the music then I would be very grateful if you would 'Like' my Facebook page - HERE - where you can hear some of my other music if you're interested. Those feeling particularly generous can donate using the link on my forum profile, but it's not at all necessary or obligatory in order to download the music because I want to give back to the community that has already given me so much since I first started working with the Dev team, whether it be comments, assistance, advice or a donation


Download from: Eastern Front, Mediafire, ModDB, Modsaholic. It is in a compressed .zip file so you will need WinRAR or something similar to extract the audio files.




Tracklist

1.) The Red Tide (Main Theme)
2.) Streets of Stalingrad
3.) The Glorious Struggle
4.) Our Enemy's Pain
5.) Far From Over, Russia Waits

Important but boring bit
You are welcome to share this music and enjoy as you see fit, but I would like to be properly credited where appropriate and any uses of it for profit or public presentation are not okay without my express permission.


Thanks, I hope you enjoy the music and continue to enjoy Eastern Front!

General Discussion / The Eastern Front OST needs you!

« on: August 24, 2011, 01:00:58 PM »

Thanks to some wonderful donations from Pariah and quite a bit of saving on my part, I've mustered quite a bit of money to get some new kit for the next music update. One of the new additions you can expect to hear are choirs. Now, I don't speak a word of Russian and would probably sound like an idiot trying to read Russian script, so that's where YOU come in! 

What I need?
Some lyrics for Russian choirs to sing. They don't have to be full songs, nor do they have be Grammy Award-Winning. But they must be themed alongside this mod - so make them victorious, or mournful, or proud about times of war or traditional Soviet culture. If you speak Russian, then you're probably already aware of what I'm thinking of. Please accompany your lyrics with their English translation and - most importantly - the phonetic pronunciation of the lyrics. It's very important that I know exactly how these words should be sung in Russian. I know how picky you lot are, so I don't want to get it wrong and have people saying 'no, it's pronounced like THIS!'

When do I need it by?
There's no rush, as I know this is not exactly a 5-minute job, but as soon as possible would be great. The quicker I have these words, their translations and their pronunciations, the quicker I can get this music done and blaring out your speakers.

Where do I send my lyrics to?
Please email them to alexcottrellsound@hotmail.co.uk - I'm not here to audition, I will accept any and all entries.

How do I know if my words have been used?
I'll tell you! And I'll be sure to give you proper credit. I've no idea how many of you might be able/willing to help me out, but if I get loads of submissions, obviously I can't use them all.

So, that's it! If you can speak Russian and you want to hear your words of glory or Soviet pride being sung by an orchestral choir in the near future, PLEASE help me out.

Thanks!

General Discussion / Mods on holiday?

« on: July 29, 2010, 01:01:14 PM »

I put an application in the 'Applications' thread well over a month ago and it still says it's 'awaiting moderation'.

There are applications that have appeared after mine - am I being ignored or should I reapply (again)?

Applications / Soundtrack Composer Application

« on: June 10, 2010, 06:32:09 PM »

Name: Alex Cottrell aka icarusfoundyou

Age: 18

Contact info: MSN (and email) - icarusfoundyou@hotmail.co.uk

What can I contribute: I'm a big fan of this mod, but noticed that there was no original soundtrack. I'm a budding composer who has worked with mods before - most notably the German Adash mod for TES4:Oblivion where my music was featured in a CD in a gaming magazine. I believe that I can create an appropriate and inspiring soundtrack that will not fall into most WW2 soundtracks clichéd pitfalls (unless a typical score is what you want!) I think I'm flexible and happy to do whatever is necessary to make the music as effective as possible.

How active you think you can be: As active as you want me to be.

Previous work: As I am only 18, I've not exactly been and done everything (yet), but as I mentioned before, I have worked on several other mods of large games. I have done work for small production TV documentaries and have had a piece considered for an independent film to be shown at Cannes film festival.

Examples of your work: Parts of my soundtrack to Adash can be heard here (a couple of years old now): http://www.adash-web.de/en/audio.php

Here is my myspace which has sample of lots of different types of extracts: www.myspace.com/alexcottrellsound

If necessary, I will provide a demo of 1 or 2 pieces made especially to show off my idea of this mod's soundtrack if you're not convinced  Some of the work you will hear is a year old (not been involved in any projects since then thanks to concentrating on college work) and I'd like you to hear me at my best!

Other notes: Hopefully I've put this application in the right place!

Strategy and Tactics / Frustrated player needs your help!

« on: May 09, 2010, 08:44:51 PM »

I'm a big fan of both CoH and EF and have been watching this forum for some time with hope of picking up some hints for gameplay.

It's really starting to piss me off that, even though I've been playing this game for a few years now, I don't seem to be getting any better. Maybe I'm just trying out the wrong tactics or missing something really obvious (maybe I'm destined to be crap forever...)

Here is a link to download my recent excursion as the Wher against the Americans (Normal diff) in a 1v1 and I get thoroughly raped - http://www.mediafire.com/?g4t4mowmztj

If anyone could have a watch (it's not all that long) and tell me how I can improve and actually start beating anything other than an easy, that would be fantastic!
