Y'now sometimes you just have to listen to your Command & Conquer soundtrack MP3s and remenis about how damn good they are.

Superb music that game had. Suboib.

My mistake, it's not the mechanical man tune that has the MJ sample, it's a different tune.

It's number 28 in my list but I don't know how much that helps you to determine which one it is. It's pretty obvious when you hear it though.

Yeah that soundtrack was pretty much a work of genius. I would venture to say the gameplay wouldn't be the same without it.

I was extremely fond of the C&C Thang, Mechanical Man and Just Do It because at the time it was still rare to have vocal samples in the soundtrack.

http://www.frankklepacki.com <- Westwood's composer. Almost all C&C tracks.

Fight! Win! Prevail!

Two thumbs up for that link, this takes me back! I never was too keen on the music in the rest of the series though, even though its done by the same guy. Odd.

I think one of the reasons this music is so well remembered was that you could actually access and edit the playlist from the options menu. With a few exceptions, thats not something you can even do on most games nowadays. Wish you could though.

I really agree with you. It's hard to say why I didn't like the later stuff though.

Remember in the blade runner game some guy was listening to mechanical man on the raadio ;) that was a cool 'easter egg'

Ah, love all those tracks. love 'em :D Yeah, the first game stood out for me due to the playslist thing and the cool samples. My dad even used to record a lot of his games' tracks onto tape and play them in the car (much to my mum's dismay and my delight!), though he liked the less 'heavy' ones. I think there was a more moody one called canyon chase?

I was only thinking of "hell march", I had no idea the composer (I didnt even knew his name) had done so much great tracks in so many classic games !

Thanks A LOT for the link !! :kiss:

I think for copyright reasons you can't download them off his site, but I'm sure you can find downloads elsewhere.
