One of the cool things about modern video games is that some very interesting people--such as former NIN drummer Chris Vrenna and contemporary instrumental composer David Arkenstone--have been commissioned to score recent titles. Now Dark Age of Camelot unites an eclectic batch of artists in its soundtrack. Whether one is a fan of the game or simply wants to indulge in music from, or reflective of, the Middle Ages, this CD offers a surprisingly diverse range of compositions, most symbolizing an individual character type from the game. Deborah-Henson Conant's delicate and graceful harp playing characterizes the Bard; Veljo Tormis's eerie "Litany to Thunder," performed by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, heralds the Berserker; the Ranger is accompanied by a sprightly Celtic theme from Secret Garden; and the Wizard is represented by a beguiling medieval gaming and drinking song performed by the New London Consort. Composers Rick Schaffer and Charles Washington also provide three electronic/symphonic tracks, including the opening fanfare of "Main Title." Further, the three realms from the game each possess a dominant musical style--for Hibernia, it's Celtic, for Midgard, Nordic, and for Albion, medieval European. Let's hope the impressive Dark Age of Camelot marks the future of video-game soundtracks. --Bryan Reesman

Inspired by the video game of the same name, ...

September 5, 2015

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Inspired by the video game of the same name, this compilation will "transport" you to another time and place. Imagine riding your horse through the rolling hills of Albion to King Arthur's Camelot, through the mountains of Midgard, or the forests of Hibernia. Sit back and imagine.

The fantastic score from DAoC, made portable

November 2, 2007

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

The sweeping score of that magnificent game is captured & preserved verbatim on CD for your own personal enjoyment. Also included are some songs that are inspired by the game, which lend a very period-feel to the disc.

If you like the game, you will surely enjoy this disc even for years after the DAoC game is no more. If you have never heard the score nor played the game but find Medieval/Renaissance-esque flute music to your liking, you will probably also enjoy this disc.

Its the classic music I remember

My first MMO experienced was DAOC. The music is interesting and brings back great memories from playing the game. I hide it in my car and listen to it when I am alone sometimes to remember the fun I had years ago. No one knows I own it so I don't feel like a complete nerd LOL.

Great Music of a legendary game for a nice price

July 31, 2010

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Very recommended for those who likes instrumental music and chill out, although also has some tracks with vocals it is nice to hear, has 3 stages, hibernia, midgard and albion, only midgard can be a little weird for some people because it features traditional estonian music in their language, anyways it is very interesting and nice to hear, only 3 tracks are specifically from the game, but the rest are inspired on it as far as I know.

Furthermore also includes a screensaver to install, what else you could ask for?

Interesting, but doesn't fit the game

February 9, 2013

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I bought this because I loved DAoC, but don't think most of this music is any good - nor does it fit the game in my opinion. This CD will just get stored away with my other DAoC memorabilia... no need for me to make any MP3s of it or anything - I wouldn't listen to them.
