Jeremy Soule vs. Nobuo Uematsu

[Fynn]

Nobuo Uematsu - no doubt about it!
The whole Baldur's Gate soundtrack is what made me hate this Soule person...

I couldnt decide, so I voted for 'both are superb'

I love Nobuo's tracks, but Jeremy Soule is my recent favourite (if only for a while) because his amazing Oblivion soundtrack blew me away!
Trust me, doesnt matter what his music was like in Baldurs Gate, listen to the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion soundtrack.
Especially: Auriel's Ascension (listen to this first), King and Country, Reign Of The Septims, and some other ones that might be even better.

That said, why not have the best of both worlds?

Agreed, that arrangement is great. I haven't heard much of Soule's music, except the soundtrack for Star Wars: KotOR, and I thought that was quite weak, so I prefer Uematsu's music.

Agreed on KotOR. The stuff that was good was a little too much like every other Star Wars soundtrack ever, and the rest was kind of weak. I'd reccomend giving Oblivion a try. It's got one of the best soundtracks I've heard since Shadow of the Colossus. I do think that overall Soule is very good, especially at arranging, but like I said before, Uematsu is better at creating music that stands out and sticks with you on a consistant basis.

I actually liked the title theme of Oblivion quite a bit. You know, the tu-tu-tuu, tu-tu-tuuu, tu-tu-tuuuu, tu-tu-tu-tuuuuuuuu-na one.

EDIT: GW also had great tracks for the crappy gameplay they've offered and no comment about Dungeon Siege theme (was good for the time when it came out).

Nobou, no contest. Don't get much better than Master pieces Like Melodies of Life, Rose of May, Frog Theme or Magus theme.
