Halo 3 Original Soundtrack (2-CD Set)

List Price: $15.98
Lowest Price: $10.95

Product Description:

From the most successful entertainment launch in history, comes the most anticipated video game soundtrack of the holiday season. Bungie created a new variation on the Game's musical themes this time around. Martin O'Donnell, Bungie's composer incorporated a full live orchestra and chorus which goes "above and beyond" what they've done in the past. Album produced by Nile Rodgers.

Amazon.com:

In terms of mood (both martial and eerie) and structure (the score is divided into 10 suites), there's no major departure from the previous installments in the Halo series here. The biggest difference is that this time, composers Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori seemed to have had a bigger budget and were able to hire a large orchestra. Where the synthetic feel of the previous two CDs sometimes made them feel a little thin and cheap, Halo 3 has the means to match its ambitions: This music would not shame a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi/action movie. Tracks such as "To Kill a Demon" and "This Is the Hour" (both of which, typically, recycle the composers' own themes) illustrate well this expanded sonic palette. The second CD ends with a hidden track ("Love Your Friends") by a band called Princeton, a fairly run-of-the-mill pop-punk effort which won a competition to be included on the soundtrack and which feels jarring compared to the rest of the music here. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

You: OOH! I know that! Disc 1 track 12!
The above title describes what you say while playing the game after listening to this CD. Pretty soon you'll be freaking out your buddies by mock conducting it and saying dun dun da-da-da-daaa dun to the tune. Besides that, the music is awesome! Great orchestral music in a great FPS (First Person Shooter for you non-gamers) If you're thinking "Video game music? There's a CD for that now?" You are the biggest n00b in history.

Halo 3 CD
The two cd set is great! It is literally the game soundtrack.
I only gave it four stars instead of five because none on the songs
have lyrics like the Halo 2 Soundtrack. Otherwise, the music is really
excellent!

Halo 3 Soundtrack
I have to hand it bungie. Their previous game soundtracks have been good, but nothing like this.

**AWESOME MUSIC**

Great, Ambient Soundtrack
Halo 3's soundtrack is definitely the most epic of the trilogy. While the music steadily built from this single, title screen Gregorian chant-like, ethereal choir from the first game, the final game's music just added to this with even MORE orchestral score and dramatic finished. Add to that the smooth, almost tribal ambient music and sounds that play throughout the game, and you have a rather emotional experience on a CD. I loved the music while playing the game, and it was just as great without actually playing (almost).
