Songs from the Front
« on: March 27, 2011, 12:27:59 PM »
Hello Eastern Front Fans,

As many of you know, in 1.31 we released the first pieces of our Original Soundtrack (OST). I've received a numerous request to be able to listen to it outside of the game, and because we listen to you they can now be found at youtube. Company of Heroes: Eastern Front OST.

Regards,
Eastern Front Development Team

If I'll get the permission and if it wasn't uploaded yet, I'll do so later.
icarusfoundyou, the EF OST composer did that great work. Just look for his name on the "team" page.

You've done some really nice work, thank you!

If you will go on composing another soundtracks, I would recommend maybe some variation of Shostakovich's war symphonies, especially his 7th and 8th symphony. Which music could be more authentic then his, being composed in Soviet Union during war!

Some very interesting pieces; nice work. It would be nice if some more of these musical pieces were made, preferably a little bit more communist to go with the main menu and that Russian Opera song.

Which bring me onto my question: Why is the Russian Opera song not in the playlist on youtube? The one that is ocassionally heard in the main menu, with the men speaking Russian, but it sounds kinda operish, I can't explain it anymore than that.

^^ because it's not russian at all.

Nice music. I like most of it. It sounds so classic and serious, just like in most soviet documentaries about the Great Patriotic (we don't usually speak out "War" in this word combination - it's a sort of a tradition here in Russia).
Thanks a lot to the author, Great job!

I like The Red Tide song.

Anymore songs you plan to add? Sacred War sounds like a good victory song.

I'd think of something more cheerful for the winning melody: the "Sacred War" was released shortly after the invasion, and was meant as an inspiring song (and a perfect one!). For the winning screen something like "Katiusha", "Poliushko-pole", "Proschanie slavianki" (slavic girl's parting), "Raspriagaite hloptsy koney" (unharness your horses, guys), or "Davai zakurim" (Let's smoke up) would fit better.
Basically, anything less dramatic (and even tragic), 'cause the "Sacred War" is 'till now treated almost like a prayer or a national hymn (I'd bet most people in Russia have more respect for this song than for a hymn, actually).

My thought was Hans Zimmer in mind while listening. My favourite is the "red tide". Good work from the composer, it's really sounds like Zimmer's work. :)
