Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I don't know what it was, but you can find it right here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 It's the Little Fugue in G Minor. It's by Bach and you can find much better renditions of it online. Even legally! —Alorael, who approves of any game that uses Bach as its soundtrack. That really includes most games without music, though, thanks to the miracle of iTunes.

Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 It was my inspiration to perform "Little Fugue" at a piano recital four years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk D Pliss Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 This post may be moved, but speaking of tunes.... what is the {piano played i think} tune played when you enter avernum 4. If you could tell me, i'd apreciate it. Ty guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I think it's at least part guitar as well, and the intro musics for Nethergate, the Avernums, and the Geneforges are all little sound bites put together just for those games. —Alorael, who is glad that Spiderweb gets unique music and sad that the intros to Nethergate and A2 aren't actually parts of longer and wonderful pieces.

Garrulous Glaahk D Pliss Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 In Avernum 4 what is the song the piece is cut out of, is my original question. Ty for the info thoough, i thought they were just made for the game, like some games when they pay some band or whatever to play a tune for it, i think anyway, i'm to dumb to know for sure.

And for the record, the same is true for A4 and all the other games. The only non-original music is that in Exile 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Duskwolf Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Actually, Exile 2 used a nonoriginal piece for background music as well (CARTHAG.MOD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Okay, but where's carthag.mod from? Google provides the music but no source, and it could have been taken from E2. —Alorael, who wouldn't be surprised if Jeff got non-exclusive rights to music. He just doesn't see any evidence.

Tenderfoot Thahd Syaoran2001 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What version of Exile are you all playing? Every version of Exile 1 and 2 I've ever played has never had background music, just the short little opening jingle. Is there some sort of new, updated version that's been release in the last couple of years that features background music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 No, it's the old 1995/96/97 versions that used to feature music. The exile games have been musicless at least since I purchased them (I think it was 2000). Edit: to clarify, I think I purchased the trilogy in 2000, about a year after first playing E2 on a friend's iMac. I suspect in fact Exile trilogy has been musicless even longer, maybe since the release of E3 in 1997? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 That would be weird, because I downloaded the exile trilogy demos maybe a year or two back, and I had music. Perhaps you just didn't turn it on? For all I know, it defaults to off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 D'oh, you realise I now have to download the latest version and install it, just in order to check this out? Edit: Still no music. Maybe it's a mac/windows thing, who knows. Thanks to Tyranicus I can listen to it if I want to anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 The original version of Exile II had music. The original version of Exile I did not; it was added in the v2.0 upgrade that gave Exile I the bright, Exile III style graphics several years after its release. That's all Mac versions. I don't know the history for PC versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the history for PC versions. I first downloaded Exile 1 and registered around '96, when it still had the old-style, simpler graphics. That version had no music in it. The first version of Exile 2 I played around '97 didn't have music either. That was the version with the updated graphics. Then, just a couple years ago, a friend of mine registered the whole trilogy and got a CD with all 3 games on it, and the versions of Exile 1 and 2 on that CD didn't have music. Maybe you're right that it is just a Mac-only thing. I'm still confused as to which version of Exile 1 has music in it though. There must be some in-between version that I haven't played that has to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Sol Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I’ve played both the old and new version of Exile 2 on the pc and it had no background music to speak of. Though, when your entire party dies that scream is music to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Syaoran2001 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Yeah, I always liked the death scream too. I'm disappointed that all the sound effects were changed in Exile 3. I'm so used to the old ones, it's hard to adjust to the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I realize this is a really late response, but it's wild enough that I figured I'd share anyway. The music that was distributed with the Mac version of Exile 2 was actually a track called "Ecolove" by Stéphane Picq from the 1992 Amiga video game Dune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSIXC4jJqI A touched-up version of this track was also included on the album Dune: Spice Opera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF_0W1cYPYo&t=561 Edited August 30, 2020 by Duskwolf Thaeris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think this has come up in other threads in the intervening 13 years (!), but that's a pretty great track, isn't it? Great soundtrack altogether, Picq is really something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Thaeris Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 How about that! Never knew the origins of that track before this post - always thought that one had a great sound to it. ...What I'm still curious about are the credits to the title tracks of Avernum 1 and 2. Av1 had great late 90's vibes to it, while Av2 presented such a melancholy theme which mated to the bleak situation so very well. Av3 started to veer away in a different direction with regard to the splash music, but the theme is still close enough to the other two that the set still generally gels well together.
