Yesterday after release alot of people installed Beta 4 and went STRAIGHT into the game. I, on the other hand, went straight to the music folder. Being a musician all my life, I am intimatley in love with music. (Drums/Percussion and guitar)
After listening to Gold's self interview on how he did his music, I was highly motivated to listen to everything he incooperated first.
I Was Always Better- Honestly, I couldn't haven't gotten a better pictorial image of the epic battle between 006 and 007 at the end of the Goldeneye movie than what this song gave me. The only thing better that could probably compare was the actual song that was in the movie.
Casino- Honestly, Wow...just..wow. As soon as I heard "On Her Majesties Secret Service" playing in the background, it was like an instant orgasm in my ears. Fucking awesome job.
Cradle_Alt- Heavy, Fast, Strong. Honestly couldn't find a better song to portray the place where the final battle of 006 and 007 took place.
Facility_Alt- Yet again, another orgasm to my ears. I felt like I WAS 007 just dropping in off the dam into the Facility like in the movie.
Library- This song kinda made me feel I was in the Archives in the movie sneaking around. Yet another song that put tingles in my spine as though I was gonna get caught or something.
Standard Operating Procedure- This song with just the title alone made me feel like blowing something up. Then listening to it made me feel like I was wiring something to blow, moreso, some sort of vehicle since that was the "Standard Operating Procedure"
Streets- Totally made me want to jump in my Soviet Tank in my back yard and go on a little "tour" of a major city.
Overall, the music is just outstanding. Even the new twists Sole and Bass have done are nice, just Gold's music appealed to me a bit more only because of the small things that were in the songs that really gave it that Goldeneye movie feel. Sole and Bass took the old songs from the game and made em upbeat and more "I could totally dance while I kill you" Feel. Again, not a bad thing at all. I have friends who don't even play this game and they love the music.
In conclusion, kudo's music team, fucking awesome job. Anyone that can put an orgasm in my ears are awesome in my books.
