Is this an undiscovered pearl?




Review:

As a start "Opening Credits" begins. It's as epic as an opening should be. Cinematic! The upcoming atmosphere is great staged and in this way it continues. "The Timekeeper" is not less epic than its antecessor. You are really taken in by the atmosphere. Choir and orchestra harmonize very well. As well as in "Arella's Theme" which is very relaxing and smoothly. It marks the last breather before one of the best composed tracks of the last years arrives. The talk is about "A Love Lost". This track is such powerful, emotional and recognizable that just because of it it's worth purchasing. A little masterpiece! Surprisingly "Jen Meets Arella" can convince despite to its antecessor and at the same time it's able to calm the atmosphere down again. A fantastic smooth composition. With a big bang "Raum & Empusa" arrives. Again an awesome track! Extremely thrilling and (of course) epic. Choir and orchestra are nearly reaching the top of perfectness.

"The Demon Awakes" is a mix of sanctuary, menace and relaxation. Strange but it sounds awesome (mainly the end!). "Coliseum" continues there where its antecessor ended. A beautiful track with its own highlights. "A Prince in Chains" is a bit sadly. "World of Water" seems like a pretty dream which "The Turbulent Depths" just continues. Just with a change of mood in the end. "A Kingdom Restored" scores with its tenderness but feels a bit bad placed. The real follower is "The Mad King" (adapted to the end of "The Turbulent Depths"). Threatening and furious. "Mountain of Suffering" sounds as its name suggests. It has a bit of sadness and strength. "Devil's Waltz" is a classical nice composed waltz. A suitable track before "Dark Science" arrives. It starts weak but becomes stronger and much more thrilling after a time. Stunning feeling. And the waltz in the end speaks for itself (droll). "The Helot" marks the introduction for the upcoming highlight. "Temple of Flame" is a very strong and cryptical. The very last little breather before the grand finish. It feels like your last look back. "Hall of Gods" is as thrilling as it should be. Mighty and epic! And the finish "Journey's End" rounds off perfectly the whole soundtrack.





Game Music Hall Score: 9,7

It's a shame that soundtracks like this one are that much unnoticed. Every game can take a leaf out of Primal's score's book! Doubtless it's one of the best soundtracks you've ever heard. The orchestra is awesome, the choir is awesome and the atmosphere is awesome, too. So what do you want more? We recommend this soundtrack warmly to everyone. This score is an undiscovered masterpiece.

I actually heard a two sample tracks from this soundtrack a few years back. I believe it was from the 'Game Music Soundtrack newsletter' and I was blown away. I just couldnt find it (not a console gamer myself) and eventually forgot everythign about it.

And now here it is. THanks, this is going to be my first listen from this site.
