The music and how it was applied contextually was great in PS1. Never got bored - well, maybe the ishundar travel theme...
Actually, the all the tracks were ideal background musics. It has never distracted you, but still contributing to the atmosphere. No strong themes, no easy-to-remember riffs... I think it is the hardest part if a composer has to make a soundtrack.
Only empire themes may have strong characteristic (like the sanctuary themes), the rest must be remain in the background. And Mr. Ferrone succeded in this.
His track is heard during the lates interview with T-Ray too. SOE probably owns all the rights, but I'd so much love to think that they actually hired Ferrone to do the music for the sequel. There was no previous use of these tracks in the scarce PS2 videos. So let's just hope!
