Music to listen to in M&B

[Temujin]

Ok I'm changing my music in the game, and I was wondering if annyone has anny tips?

thus far I included:
"Mars, bringer of war"
"Flight of the Valkyres"
"Carmina burana"
All these songs give a great heroic feel to the battles :p

but I was wondering if you guys know some more? because most of my classics aren't suited for the heroicness of this game

Added Tarnhauser March for the campaign map

The Gladiator movie soundtrack is pretty good.

 

[Temujin]

yeah, especially the battle that one is a great song

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Manowar battle hymns album

thats metal isn't it? or rock? I'm not much into that save for a few bands

 

[Worbah]

If you want something that really fits the game, listen to the soundtrack of Conan The Barbarian.

Normally though I listen to all the weird ****e I normally do, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Tea Party, Offspring, etc.

 

[Wallabulla]

The soundtrack from LOTR should fit well i think

 

[Johnathan Andrews]

If you're looking for classical-style that fits, try Liszt for most any of his works, though is his best piece by far (and REALLY works well with M&B).

Try:
Hungarian Rhapsody, Liszt
Les Preludes, Liszt
Liebestraume (I forget which movement), Liszt


Many Wagner pieces also have the right "feel." I believe Lohegrin is one of the pieces that fit M&B just right, though you'd have to check. Tannhauser is pretty decent as well, but you'd have to pick and choose pieces. Wagner wrote music with a Norse mythological feel, so many of his songs have the right feel for M & B.

I have a list of about 12 others I use at home, but Liszt is by far the best.

I've got a great collection of fast strings-flute-drums instrumentals. Fits the Last Days battles perfectly, pretty good for vanilla too. Don't know names of many of the bands tho.

 

[Laurence of Arabia]

M&B + Dragonforce = Good

 

[Oggy]

Anything by Zepplin. THAT would make the game epic baby! ^^

 

[cheesemonger]

some thumping psychedelic-trance

 

[Mablung]

Well, I used to listen to mainly metal, but now, alas, nothing. I get much better FPS without Media Player. Damned resource hog

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Use Coolplayer, I recon thats the smallest player around

 

[Red Cougar]

M&B + Dragonforce = Good

What he said. Fury of the Storm ftw

I'm seeing them live at the end of the month. It's gonna be bloody excellent.

I would have to second the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack as well as that for Gladiator. Kingdom of Heaven and King Arthur, though not the greatest films have really sweet soundtracks. I also listen to a lot of music from games such as: Total War (any of them work, though medieval works best), Myth III, Knights of Honor, and Warcraft III. With regards to Manowar, I highly recommend them. I ordinarily am not fond of most metal at all, but for them I have made an exception.
