Help me with the difference between compressed and uncompressed. So I've been digesting the new 2 Steps album for a few days.

In my dream score, Powell and Bergersen team up with Robert Folk. Flight of the Silverbird sounds like Bergersen aping Powell's Dragon's sound to me, but I couldn't be happier about that.

I'm a sucker for the sounds in None Shall Live as well. I think it'd be interesting to hear Scala in it's quieter mode in some TSFH stuff.Īnyway, for Battlecry, my faves were Cannon in D Minor, Flight of the Sliverbird and Star Sky (in spite of the vocalist ). Either way, switching it up would be cool. Lately the vocalists have sounded a little more same-y. The use of The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices Choir in Starvation was well done and interesting that choir has a fascinating and distinct sound and it was awesome hearing them in trailer music. The vocalist in Ulthuan was certainly unique back in Illumina. The subtle inclusion of the Bulgarian vocalist in Freedom Fighters was a very nice final touch on one of my favorite tracks. The utilization of vocalists used to be a little more creative, I think. But lately some really promising tracks have lost a lot of momentum as soon as the vocalist comes in-that's where it sounds like he's treading old ground. Overall, it's obvious that Bergersen is growing more and more talented, and he's bringing out some really cool ideas and sounds. If Sun was Illusions 2 then essentially this is Illusions 3. My thoughts: it's very (very very) good, but I am a wee bit disappointed at how closely it hews to the style Bergersen seems to have established for himself post-Illusions - the longer cue lengths, the predictable build-up structure, the world-music vocalists etc. Guy's as vanilla a composer as I can think of, and seems to show little-to-no signs of improving (on the contrary, I feel like his music is growing less and less interesting.or perhaps that's just my taste evolving away from "everything with a giant orchestra and chanting choir is good no matter how dull the underlying composition"). The Nick Phoenix tracks, as usual, I pretty much ignore.

Same goes for "Star Sky" although I have no use whatsoever for the version with lyrics, it was thoughtful and commendable of Two Steps to include an instrumental, showing that they know their fanbase pretty well, and it's one of the best tracks on the album. "Victory" is a lovely track as well that would fit right in on Sun or Illusions and be as good as anything on them. Looking at the front cover I somehow got it into my head that the album's style would be orchestral in sort of a brutally militaristic way, and was a little let down when that's not what it was like at all, but that expectation was based on no evidence whatsoever, so serves me right.īecause what's there is pretty fantastic, especially the two post-"That's a Wrap" John Powellesque crazy orchestral fireworks of goodness that are "Cannon in D Minor" (heh) and "Flight of the Silverbird" (which pits a pennywhistle melody against an electric guitar undercurrent (!), which I at first thought had never been done before, but then I remembered oh right, "Test Drive"! Cues are nothing alike, though). And I know it's silly to complain about stylistically similar follow-ups to what is quite handily one of my favorite albums of all time, but I'm slightly starting to miss the stylistic variety of earlier albums like The Devil Wears Nada or Dreams and Imaginations or even Skyworld. My thoughts: it's very (very very) good, but I am a wee bit disappointed at how closely it hews to the style Bergersen seems to have established for himself post- Illusions - the longer cue lengths, the predictable build-up structure, the world-music vocalists etc. It's been out for a while now, so I was curious to see what the board's resident Two Steps guys (Peter, Feliz, Scribe etc.) think of their latest album, Battlecry, released earlier this year?
