For posterity’s sake, as well as sharing this amazing soundtrack with any passerby here, I am sharing a link to my favorite video game score here. Total Annihilation was just a great strategy game, simple and perfectly balanced. Also a pretty cool sci-fi backstory built into it. I spent many, many hours playing it during middle school and early high school (I think?). Part of the beauty of the soundtrack was that it would reactively play different tracks based on what was happening in the game. Brutal Battle played when you started an attack, March to War when you were in the midst of supply gathering, another riveting one just after you had been ambushed. The result was riveting. And now, over a decade later, these songs have such fun energy layered into them. It’s great for writing, honestly. Though I’m not sure how it plays to the unsuspecting listener, the soundtrack did launch Jeremy Soule’s career - he went on to score all the Elder Scroll games and much else. Hope you give it a listen!
