This is an awesome score! I found it by chance. I read an extremely complimentary online review of this CD while I was i-net searching mythology. Being a fan of epic movie soundtracks, I decided to take a chance on "Too Human" because the review I read lead me to believe that it was far more than what might be expected of a videogame score (i.e. Norse influences, Prague chorus, award nomination,...). I am extremely glad that I did "gamble" on this CD. It is fantastic!!! It is a dynamic composition which always maintains a hauntingly ancient sound, yet also feels like a modern sci-fi / adventure movie score as well. It feels like it could be a score for Conan the Barbarian or Lord of the Rings, while simultaneously feeling like the new Star Trek, but with more longing for an ancient connection. The Norse vocals (choral and solos) are amazing, as is the rest of the score. If I've not been clear, let me say, I REALLY liked it. I must also say that I have not played the game that this score comes from, but I cannot imagine this beautiful score being tainted with "Metal" songs as another reviewer mentioned. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys bold, epic scores which blend electronic, choral, and symphonic elements flawlessly.

The game is good if you give it a chance, and the soundtrack is outstanding. It sets an interesting mood.

I listened to a few samples of this album and I was instantly hooked.

I'm not a video game player, however I've always been fascinated by the great music some composers have created for them.

This particular soundtrack combines a melodic orchestral works with the beauty of a chorus and violin accompaniments. This combination gives the soundtrack an epic quality and a sense of mystery and adventure.

I'm glad to have added this soundtrack to my collection.

Too Human has a great soundtrack! Its futuristic in sound and at the same time mythological. Its pretty much entirely ochestral elements but there is a the occasional touch of electronics to remind you that this is a sci-fi fantasy epic. Fans of the game are not going to want to miss this as I consider it essential for gamers!

I've never played the video game and I don't know its storyline, but I was convinced to buy this soundtrack when I listened to the samples.
I particularly enjoyed the orchestral arrangements and the driving beat. Another excellent point of this soundtrack is the choral performances, which manage to put me "in the action".
Definitely recommended.

Good sounds. If you listen to Braveheart / Lord of the Rings / Titanic soundtracks this CD is a perfect fit.

This is a pretty good soundtrack, but the biggest reason I bought it was for the awesome metal/classical songs from the game.
My favorite song in the game is the one from the Act 3 boss (the mega-troll).

There are none on this disc!

Why they would leave off the very best songs I really don't understand, and I regret my purchase.

Are they going to release the metal songs on a different disc? That would be ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as not releasing them all.

C'mon.
