Music in Doms 3 is superb.

THere is a small english flag at the bottom if you don't speak swedish.

Wait, so you actually get more music in full version ?
Is there any chance of getting Dead Can Dance in a patch ? With Luck Scale:3 ?

As for music in games, there are some very good reasons to make new music. There are basically two kinds of game music:

- durable music
- story music

Durable music is often underrated, but if done properly, it's great for RTS, TBS, FPP and other 'long' games. The point is that some music, while quite good, gets annoying after a while. Music in strategy games mustn't be annoying after a while.
Just because a piece is good doesn't mean it would work in a game. House of the Rising Sun (The Doors) or Smoke On The Water (Deep Purple) are nice pieces, but you wouldn't survive long exposure without getting Insane afliction.

Story music - generally has shorter life than durable music, and is tailored exactly to needs/situation. Best example would be Planescape:Torment. Really great music, but you wouldn't want to listen to (most of) it in loops.

House of the Rising sun was not Doors but Animals Other than that I agree (and I could listen to Doors "Riders on the storm" or "Waiting for the Sun" until doomsday... ). It took me perhaps two months to turn off Dom2 music, I have to see if Dom3 music has a longer life-span for me (atm I certainly do feel so for some reason ).

I think instrumental music often lasts longer, so the early era dråm music might last a while. I have become a bit fed up with it at this point though, and apparently so has Anna and Eric themselves. The dråm, the continous bagpipe tone, tends to get on your nerves eventually

Actually, that's my experience as well. But for some reason I haven't played the other ages as much event though I'm not that big fan of magic-based games. I quess I'll just have to change to LA now. Different music should be quite refreshing.

I like the music in the game as well, but for the 55 dollar price tag I really feel like there should be more of it. I understand Illwinter is a small company but I think they could have more songs for 55 dollars

I think they had hard time to fit in all of them to one CD...

Rumor says that there will be a 100$ Dominions 3. version. Kris is singing a song in it, and the chorus will contain Dominions fans only!

Who is singing the dirge from the 2nd age, and what is the title of the song? I'd like to get a CD of that one.

[johan osterman]

That would be Anna of Falsobordonne. Cantigas de Santa Maria is the CD.
