It has no ambient tracks, just plain songs with an own typical sound, which is great! I dig it and especially fans of old pcgame music will probably also do that. Another scoreupdate. - "Great music, but a bit weird on GM..." (by frostcircus, 11 Jul 2004) [9/10] Easily one of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard; sadly these MIDIs do not do it justice. Given the limited technology, the game did a great job with its custom sounds (though my friend had to play with the sound off because the hihats sounded exactly like his alarm clock's buzzer), but when played on a GM setup, most of the tracks just sound ...wrong. My score is based on the music itself. I set up my old PC just to install this and record the music on my newer system - I can't think of any other games I've done this for. :) - "A Classic" (by Delance, 11 Oct 2004) [9/10] This is one of the best soundtracks for the PC. Excellent job. The music really gives the game a great boost. - "Battle on Arrakis" (by animoL, 7 Dec 2004) [10/10] The music is so good that even in Dune 2000 it was just improved but continued similar to the old mids. Played a lot on my old 486. Got the game from a BBS, before knowing what internet was. Loved every moment of it. - "Excellent, but only with MT-32" (by TuomasT, 7 Oct 2006) [10/10] The game's music was obviously designed for the Roland MT-32 sound module, the GM track does not even begin to do it justice. That said, I feel the music is one of the best game soundtracks. Style is athmosperic combined with fast action, just like the game. - "Neat rip. But the MT-32 version lacks the SysEx." (by Kaminari, 28 May 2007) [8/10] ShaiWa already made a perfect rip (albeit without proper title tags) and it comes complete with a SysEx for the MT-32 version. get it here: http://home.hccnet.nl/s.v.nimwegen/midi/ *** Facts / description *** This archive includes both the GM and MT versions (34 songs each) completely re-ripped by myself and the additional tune from the previous archive, all songs are named. The tunes were converted from 'C55' files, which were actually XMI files with subsongs. The old archive wasn't very accurate; the tempo was way off (too fast and erratic) and the instruments didn't change on cue. I used Awave Studio to turn them into midi files, and guarantee 100% accuracy. I had considered including the XMIs, but figured it wasn't necessary. If you have any questions or soundtrack requests, send me an E-mail through my profile. Info from crumby2: The file MT/init/Dune_init.mid is the init file (sysex data) required for the MT32 soundtrack of Dune 2. It must be played once before playing the various midi files or they won't sound correct. Found this on a forum. credits for this init file : ShaiWa *** More info about Frank Klepacki *** Original game music from Frank Klepacki: The Music of Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny [7/10] [1998] Nox: Game rip (Win) [7/10] [16 Feb 2000] Blade Runner (Westwood): Game rip [03 Jan 1997] Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations: Game rip [8/10] [1996] Command and Conquer: Red Alert, The Music of (Dos) [1996] 99015 Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Original soundtrack (Win) [2000] Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun: Original soundtrack (Win) [1999] Dune 2000: Game rip [7/10] [02 Aug 1998] Emperor: Battle For Dune: Original soundtrack (Win) [2001] 4008907 Lands of Lore 2: Game rip [7/10] [02 Jan 1997] Legend of Kyrandia 3: Game rip [1994] Nox: Original soundtrack (Win) [2000] Command and Conquer, the Music of (Dos) [1994] 52145-99011 Command & Conquer: Red Alert: Game rip [8/10] [01 Dec 1996] Command & Conquer: Game rip [9/10] [31 Aug 1995] Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun: Game rip (Win) [8/10] [27 Aug 1999] Eye of the Beholder 2: Game rip [1991] Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Game rip (Win) [27 Oct 2000] Blade Runner (Westwood): Game rip [03 Jan 1997] Command & Conquer: Red Alert: The Aftermath: Game rip [9/10] [1997] Emperor: Battle For Dune: Game rip (Win) [21 May 2001] Emperor: Battle For Dune: Game rip (Win) [17 Jun 2001] Blade Runner (Westwood): Game rip (Win) [1985] Command & Conquer: Game rip (Dos) [31 Aug 1995] Dune 2: Game rip (Dos) [03 Jan 1992] Lands of Lore 2: Game rip (Dos) [02 Jan 1997] Lands Of Lore: Game rip (Dos) [02 Jan 1993] Legend Of Kyrandia 2: Game rip (Dos) [01 Jan 1993] Legend Of Kyrandia, The: Game rip (Dos) [02 Jan 1992] Blade Runner (Westwood): Game rip (Spectrum) [1985] Game music originally related to Frank Klepacki: Command & Conquer: Arranged/Remixed tunes [31 Aug 2001] Command & Conquer: Red Alert: Arranged/Remixed tunes [04 Jan 2002] Legend Of Kyrandia, The: Arranged/Remixed tunes [07 Feb 2003] Legend Of Kyrandia, The: Arranged/Remixed tunes (Amiga) [1992] Command & Conquer: Arranged/Remixed tunes (Dos) [1995] Albums: Command & Conquer Red Alert (US) [01 Jan 1996] 52145-99015 Games which composed Frank Klepacki music in: (if there is platform in the parenthesis, it means the composer composed or ported the music for this platform) - Emperor: Battle For Dune (PC Windows) - Nox (PC Windows) - Dune 2000 - Eye of the Beholder 2 (Amiga) - Eye of the Beholder 2 (PC Dos) - Dune 2 - Legend Of Kyrandia 2 (PC Dos) - Lands Of Lore (PC Dos) - Command & Conquer (PC Dos) - Lands of Lore 2 - Monopoly - Command & Conquer: Red Alert (PC Dos) - Blade Runner (Westwood) - Lands of Lore 3 (PC Windows) - Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun - Command & Conquer 2: Firestorm - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Legend Of Kyrandia, The (Amiga) - Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (PC Windows) - Dune 2: The Building of a Dynasty - Command & Conquer Gold (PC Windows) - Command & Conquer: Red Alert: Counterstrike - Command & Conquer: Red Alert: The Aftermath - Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations - Legend of Kyrandia 3 (PC Dos) *** Record info *** Record created/updated: 18.
