    Noooo! They lost Jeremy Soule! Which really isn't all that surprising considering he's got his hands full with Guild Wars 2. That said, I'm really excited to see what these new composers can bring to the old republic timeline. Soule's music is quite readily identifiable, so to have 5 new composers should bring in a lot of fresh sound. And for those of you who actually believe that the only music a Star Wars game can generate is that of the movies: you obviously haven't played KOTOR and you obviously don't know Bioware very well. I'd be surprised if they included anything more than the main titles theme.

    As Yoda would say: The Music, spectacular, it shall be!

    itd be really cool if they got John Williams to compose the music.
    that wud really make the difference.
    lets see how it goes, music must be a really MAIN thing in swtor, as we all know Star Wars without its sountrack wudnt be Star Wars.
    cheers

    As the last composer said, I too think it will sound spectacular. I also think it's gonna LOOK spectacular, and BE - as a whole - spectacular. EPIC.
    To all KOTOR fans, salutations.

    WOW! When you watch this much effort go into only a portion of a game makes you wonder how some people wouldn't consider games a form of art.

    It has 5 hours of completely new music, on top of the original tracks.

    There is no emotion, There is peace. There is no ignorence, there is knowledge. There is no passion, There is Serinity. There is no chaos, There is harmony. There is no death, There is the force.

    I can see there being the same few songs repeated from the older games, but with slight alterations.
    Still going to be a good soundtrack though.

    I think they let the recognizable sounds of the standard songs return in the new music

    It's star wars... you mean they are actually doing new music? or just another mix of the same 7 tired songs?

    I haven't been living under rocks or anything =/ but what kind of game will this be? Massive multplayer online or RPG?

    I love orchestral music and just hearing this I want to play it, the feel of it is just lovely, I wonder if they have John Williams giving them advise or insight about their music etc =)
