i didn't notice anyone posting about this and i did a couple quick searches to verify, however i do apologize if this is old news.

Guild Wars Factions
A Word From Jeremy Soule
Quote:
This next campaign in the Guild Wars world is interesting in that it draws from many elements of both fantasy and Asian culture, and I had to carefully infuse the right mixture of cultural elements so that the score could be understood by as many people as possible. Was this to be a recipe for disaster? I thought so at first . . .

But I'm a little disappointed by the new sound tracks included in the pre-order package. The best one is the first, which is our current login screen music. All other tracks feel too similiar to each other and not impressive at all. Just my opinion.

You are saying that you got the collector edition's soundtrack already? wha? If it is just pre-order package, that is pretty early assumption there.

It is good to hear some very different style from him.

I said clearly the sound tracks from the pre-order package. There are 7 pieces of music on the CD included in the pre-order package.

Have to say though, that list of influences for this is, in my book, the best of the best for modern composers.

Jeremy Soule reuses parts of his compositions anyway. When I first arrived in Post Searing Ascalon, I was like: "wtf? Neverwinter Nights!". Overall, I think his music is pretty diverse, but I haven't heard pre order music, as the package isn't out in Europe yet

I actually really like the music on the preorder disc.
