IJoe you're probably right. I'm just an ignorant Yankee who has no clue about Russian war songs except if they sound good. ::)

Although, I do like GodLikeDennis's version.

Hi there,

sorry to say that but I don´t like the new music at all. Too boring. The old music was much more better.

Regards,

Caen44.

we all are.
Sounds good thus far though! Will there be any music yet intended for the Ostheer?

Downloading it right now. I'm happy to see the EF team is working hard on this mod, It's totally worth it. Keep working on the Ostheer I'm tired of killing russians with my stormtroopers hehe ;). Overall, very pleased with this and I will donate in the future to help you out the way I can.
England, unlike in 1914, will not allow herself to blunder into a war lasting for years.... Such is the fate of rich countries….Not even England has the money nowadays to fight a world war. What should England fight for? You don't get yourself killed over an ally.

Greetings icarusfoundyo!

  I got (EF1.3.1) up and running yesterday. I haven't had a chance to play the game but I hung around in the lobby long enough to listen to your tune.

You did a good job with the theme. It has that nice pastoral intro and modulations in your build-up to the Crescendo. And the Crescendo didn't get too loud. (My wife goes nuts when that happens). Something sounds weird when the tubas (?) come in. give it a listen.

Very evocative as  a praelude to battle. It sets a good tone to start the game in.

BTW what do you play? Me, I play the banjo, and a little Cajun Accordian. I play Old Time Stringband Music and Sing American and British Folksong. I am partial to music and songs from the 20's to 40's.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Just to answer a few questions...

There will be an update to the Soviet Menu Music in the next patch and I have every intention of doing extra music after this - including a set of pieces for the Ostheer too. Also, once it's all finished, I'll be making high quality MP3s (much better sound quality than you'll hear in game or on YouTube) available for download.

Something sounds weird when the tubas (?) come in. give it a listen.

Which piece are you talking about? How many minutes/seconds in is it?

BTW what do you play? Me, I play the banjo, and a little Cajun Accordian. I play Old Time Stringband Music and Sing American and British Folksong. I am partial to music and songs from the 20's to 40's.

I'm a guitarist and have also self taught myself piano. I'm currently in a musical duo called Wylde Green where I write, record and produce the music and the other guy writes the lyrics. I also produce other singer/songwriter artists as well. Like I said, I've never done Russian Music before and completely orchestral soundtracks are not something I do as much as, say, electronic or ambient music - so it's nice to have a challenge!

"Sacred war" is way too sacred for a (stupid) game, while RA 3 "Hell march" is too stupid, even for such game.
