Producer Tommy Tallarico has done a fine job with amassing a full live Orchestra for a Video Game, it was composer MICHAEL RICHARD PLOWMAN who has created this fresh and epic score most Hollywood films long for.

Given RZA's work on both the Ghost Dog and Kill Bill soundtracks, it's no surprise to see the venerable Wu-Tang producer tackling Afro Samurai. However, unlike the previous albums, where RZA more or less created scores, the Afro Samurai soundtrack is a mix of instrumental and conventional rap songs, featuring an eclectic mix of MCs, including Talib Kweli, GZA, True Master, and RZA himself. There are some strange tracks here, none more so than the maple syrupy R&B songs featuring Stone Mecca or Baby. The instrumentals, removed from the context of the movie, are themes rather than fully fleshed out songs but a few, like "Afro's Father Fight" are tantalizingly fast, furious, and funky. The rap songs hold some surprises, such as Q-Tip popping up on "Just a Lil Dude," or veteran Big Daddy Kane sparking off the dramatic "Cameo Afro." Fans of RZA's past albums, especially his Bobby Digital projects, will find Afro Samurai to their liking, but for those expecting a classic Wu-Tang album, they might be left lost in the oft-jarring mix of sounds. --Oliver Wang

The first release on the newly formed Wu Music Group label, run by The RZA and Mitchell Divine Diggs. Afro Samurai Resurrection is the soundtrack to the second season of Spike TV's critically-lauded animated television show and DVD featuring the voice of Samuel L Jackson.

The score, produced entirely by the Wu Tang Clan's The RZA, features some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Ghostface Killah, The RZA/Bobby Digital, Kool G Rap, Rah Digga, Inspectah Deck, Killah Priest, and special guest vocals by Sly Stone! Comes with deluxe packaging and O-Card.

The music is very orchestral and epic like you'd hear in a movie but a lot of the tracks have electronic touches and beats in the background. This fits the sci-fi theme of the game of course, but it makes for a very unique and almost industrial listening experience. I hadn't heard of Jamie Christopherson until I got this CD but i'm going to look out for his soundtracks in the future!

Nobuo Uematsu has been around for years beginning with the original Final Fantasy on the NES. With the advent of next generation consoles, his music has taken a step in a new direction. The soundtrack for Blue Dragon is Uematsu's first full composition since the release of FFIX ost and it is well worth it and completely beautiful.

Original soundtrack to the 2009 video game featuring music composed by Jesper Kyd, Sascha Dikiciyan, Cris Velasco, Raison Varner and Tim Larkin.

Crysis is a very orchestral invovlved soundtrack that is on par with most big budget action flicks. The previous reviewer compared this music to Halo's soundtrack but I don't really agree. Halo is much more majestic and fantasy in sound. Crysis is more in the universe of sound to something like Lost's soundtrack. Anyways, if you enjoyed the game then odds are you'll dig this soundtrack quite a bit. Big recommendation. Sumthing Else releases the best video game soundtracks!

This soundtrack for the popular, goth-rooted, X-Box role-playing adventure is another powerful example of how artistically accomplished the video game industry has become. Indeed, its ambitious musical score frequently outshines many of its mega-budgeted Hollywood competitors. Oingo Boingo founder-turned-noted contemporary film scorer Danny Elfman anchors the album with an ominously heroic main theme worthy of one of his sweeping, big budget superhero sagas. But in providing the balance of the music, composer Russell Shaw doesn't so much follow Elfman's muscular symphonic lead as skillfully play off it. Shaw's impressive cues here manage to conjure an inviting aura of non-specific time and place, filling it with masterful orchestral and choral arrangements that evoke suspense, wonder, terror, and mischief with equal aplomb. His dark, Omen-invoking "Lychfield Cemetary" is particularly effective, as is the pizzicato string waltz of "Bowerstone."

Composer Russell Shaw describes the overall atmosphere and game play of Fable II. "The Sound, Music and Dialogue are intended to compliment the rich graphics which give the game it's unique feel." "Every region has it's own musical style and atmosphere" "The Fable II Soundtrack is no less than a sonic feast for the ears!!"
