PSW: smile
This soundtrack was just recently released on Sumthing Else Music Works game soundtrack label and is a great listen! I suggest that you purchase a copy if you enjoy it to support their efforts. Thanks to Gamemp3s for releasing this!
So, to the music – well, what can I say? Superbly performed, nicely orchestrated… nothingness. It took four people to write this – including a name I recognise from a fair few years ago, the award-winning Richard Birdsall. And yet, I get that strangely hollow feeling that this is all blow and absolutely no go. I hope that somebody will understand what I mean. If you strip away the extremely thorough orchestration and just look at the music – well, the outwardly impressive nature of it becomes signficantly subdued…
All gratitutde for the upload and respect for the poster is deeply felt, of course.
[Edit: Removed pointless ranting session about how much I hate my father since it’s got absolutely bugger-all to do with Total War!]

DOWNLOADING ;D
T_T oh wait, no DL limit left Dx
This link better still be active for next month TT__TT
EDIT: Ughh, "Bombastic" you say, i spose that’s worth risking the internet, okay… DLing ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
Careful, I just might suggest to you a number of fantastic game soundtracks if i were to infer that you consider game soundtracks to be not so great ๐
And about Richard Birdsall. Is this the same guy, who won first prize in Garritan orchestration contest (which – by the way – Kentaro Sato should have won imo)?
Yeah, that’s the guy. I thought his piece was pretty awful, to be honest – he’s done some good work, but that thing that he submitted to Garritan – Knights and Magic, or something – sounded like a nicely orchestrated, derivative Zimmer knockoff.
Still, I suppose it’s nice to see the "little guy" getting a break.
