Composer is right... a composer is anyone who creates music through musical notation for whatever purpose. Obviously we don't have the London Philharmonic at our disposal... more likely our composer makes/composes music in Sibelius or something similar :P

how bout this for menu music?
Medal of Honor - European Assault Soundtrack - To Stalingrad
Would be better for Russia, but I like it.

By this "composer" it sounds like he'll be making synthesized music instead of something from an actual band or orchestra. I don't like the sound of it.

I think we should really wait until the technology is actually available to have natural-sounding synthesized music.

Have you heard the new music? There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Sounds good. I probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. Just most computer music I hear that attempts to sound like a band or orchestra fails miserably and sounds too fake, too machine-like.

I'd like to hear some of his music, though.

That was the first piece of music he did for us, I think he's done some more since.

That Boney M piece (see "Rasputin" motive) kind o' pissed me off, frankly speaking...

What's your problem?
So I didn't like the music, because I think, it's a cliche, what's the big deal?
Anyway, go have some sex.

That "He could preach the bible like a preacher" part, though, it might be just my personal bias.

Dude, there's a difference between being "pissed off" and just "didn't like something" ::)... Also don't find any relation with your last sentence... since you are the one pissed of not him ;D.

I don't know what do you mean, i like it... in fact i just watch it again and guess what...

There're some pictures of the soviet campaign maps there xD... perhaps i'm imagining things :P.

To be honest IJoe, I think you're just bitching for the sake of it. You're entitled to your opinion but you argument sounds a little weak. What is "it's a clichè" supposed to mean? Maybe you just have a different perspective because you're Russian? (I think?)

Personally, I like it. It may be a bit Hollywood stereotypical but so is the rest of the CoH music. I think it sounds fantastic for something computerised and Icarus is truly talented. I like the other pieces I've heard too but nobody else here will have heard them yet.

EF is lucky to have such a talented team.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
