Best soundtrack

[Tirone]

My top 3 fav soundtracks:

1) Gabriel Knight 1
2) Quest for Glory 4
3) Conquests of the Longbow

:shock:    How can anyone not like QFG4's soundtrack?  

I know, I know... everyone has different taste in music.  QFG4 is my favourite.  If we were all the same life would be boring.   :wink:

It's not so much that Tom doesn't like it, rather that he hates it- it's my favourite Sierra score!!

I already have (with the help of NavyNuke's AGS Jukebox)! Made sure to get ever tune, too. If you like I can hook you up!

<laughes> But weren't the 'in-game' OGG's low(er) quality? Or am I confusing with the upcoming QFG2VGA?

Well, yeah they're a bit lower quality, but I don't notice any difference. OGGs have saved my life..

[Ghost_Rider]

I am really looking forward to the day that QFG2VGA comes out.  Not just for the game, but for the music as well.  I just know it's going to kick butt, I can't wait!

[Tirone]

That will certainly be an exciting day indeed!  I remember seeing how many downloads KQ2VGA had in the first few weeks and it was phenomonal.

Will be interesting to see QFG2VGA possibly top that - *sigh* long live Sierra's SCI-style adventures!

i am no expert when it comes to sierra music, only recently have i started listening to it seriously. however as it stands, i beleive that gabriel knight 3 and QFGV have the best scores. as a filmmaker i appreciate the cinematic feel these two have. they set the moods perfectly and to this day, when i hear that theme from gabriel knight it gives me chills.

infact this is why i encorperated the gk3 score into my latest film. holmes and henry did a superb job.

My favorites:

1) Eco Quest 1
2) Quest for Glory 4
3) Space Quest 4

I'm hoping that the digital recording for Eco Quest 2 will be released. I like music from there as well.

[JayBGrant]

1. Laura Bow II: The Dagger of Amon Ra
2. King's Quest VI: To Heir is Human
3. Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire

It's just by pure chance that all three of my favorites are Chris Brayman's, but what can I say? His were always done so well...

I'm hoping that the digital recording for Eco Quest 2 will be released. I like music from there as well.

Yep, now that my new equipment is all set up, I'll be working on it this week (it's mostly done).

This isn't a fair assessment of Sierra soundtracks, since your two favorites are digital scores performed with real orchestras.  You can't really compare that to a MIDI soundtrack, as was used in most Sierra games.

But even so, that doesn't say anything about the quality of the compositions; only the overall sound quality of the score.  I believe between Chris Brayman and Mark Seibert, Sierra has produced much better music than just what's heard in these two games.  In fact, I feel Robert Holmes did a better job with his first Gabriel Knight score...in terms of writing.
