GK3 - The Soundtrack

[discobobdude]

I just started playing through GK3 from the start for the first time in many years (well that is to say first time that I decided to actually continue until I finished it) and the memories are flooding back. Of course, one of my favourite parts of the game was the music, which leads me to where I am today...

With over a gig of ripped audio files.

This is a task I've tried to complete numerous times over the past 5 years ending in failure each and every time. Despite many long nights of effort I have yet to complete my GK3 soundtrack - stitching all the little pieces together, titling them all properly... clearly I'm way over my head.

A while back I found a torrent containing the soundtrack as MP3s. I was ecstatic! Until I listened to find the whole thing distorted and of poor quality.

So here's my plea... does anyone have the complete soundtrack in a nice handy format for little old me to download? I'd fly over to meet you to kiss your feet if you did (well... maybe not... but I'd LIKE too). It's just SO GOOD (don't get me wrong, all Sierra soundtracks were good but I think where GKIII and QFGV really shined was in the full orchestral arrangements, with REAL instruments) and I want so badly to be able to toss it on my iPod for those late night study breaks.

So does anyone have it? If not, I guess I'll just have to stick to my poorly named, out of order, uncompressed rips I did myself in grade 9.

Hey man,

I'll let you in on a little secret- one day- and I mean, "one day after I play GK3", I'll make a GK3 score. I have some Sierra contacts about GK3 music and so it's definitely possible.

But I wouldn't get excited for a year or two!

Until then- isnt the game music good quality WAV files,though?

...well its been a while haha.

any update?

The search is ALMOST over.

Someone has gone ahead and put together a version of the soundtrack by mixing most of the tracks together to form one complete cohesive whole. It's not perfect since they left out a few of the shorter themes but a great start. I'm going to hopefully do some more research and hopefully in time we can finally get the complete thing.

Like I said, not perfect (it's incomplete) but a great start. I'd love to see the whole thing become a reality one day.

As a sidebar: anyone have the GK Mysteries disc and could upload a lossless version? It's a shame that most of these things online are only 128kbs MP3 and it'd be great to have the officially mastered soundtrack in a HQ lossless format like FLAC.

I've seen the Mystery box for sale on Ebay a few times, just havent tried to buy it myself. I'm sure some people on the new PinkertonRoad Studios forum might be able to help you?
