Alright. I was already in, but now I’m even more in. Is that even more possible?

I don’t know about him but the music from the first 3 Halos, by Martin O’Donnell & Michael Salvatori, were some of the best. Ever.

This better than the previous Halo soundtracks, and they were great.
This isn’t healthy, being this hyped already…what to do, what to do…

Obviously needs the cash but it’s a shame his genius is being wasted on a ‘tard FPS

No Martin O’Donnell, no appropriate Halo score. Simple as that.

^ that example says it all. Its crap. It lacks the depth I absolutely enjoyed. If you have ever asked yourself which lame idiots are buying the Halo OSTs. Yes, one of them is me. I bought them all and one of the best is ODST imho. I absolutely have a bad feeling about whats to come …

Neither the ViDoc nor the sample has even one tune that can match the old scores. BUT: this guy was involved with Mezzanine so I won’t write the whole thing off yet but just wait and see (or in this case listen)

You’re maybe right and I dont want to boil things up. Massive Attack sticks with me ever since and Mezzanine is partially gorgeous. But I also read: “Working as orchestrator and arranger on the project will be Matt Dunkley, who has helped arrange music for multiple movies including Inception, Iron Man, and The Dark Knight.”
And as it should sound engaging in marketing terms, I personally could do without him …
