My first impression on main theme is that there is no impression either, well a little too loud. If you want look at good main theme I would name four/five games: System Shock 2, The Longest Journey, Morrowind/Skyrim and Legend of Grimrock. From MM brand, probably Mandate of Heaven left most notable impression, as I can hear in memeories.

Finally we hear some bit of music for my (i hope) futur favorite game !
I think that the main them by Jason Graves is a little too classical ... Nothing bad, but nothing good ... it does not make me feel something particular and i dont remember the melody afer listening it ... Does not make me dream...
The second sample, Morning in khartal, is far more interesting ... The second i listened to it, i was transported into the game ... it made me feel like playing older MM, and that's a good point

This melodies remind something... oldschool.

Like Mr. Chens music sample, I think he is on right track with this song. Mr.Graves isn't bad, I know he is going for epic, but doesn't catch you, not sure if it fits Might and Magic exactly.

@LASTJACK and JSEBELA: unfortunately I must agree with you both. The main theme doesn't sound too special.
The 2nd track (Morning in Karthal) however is great, and I can really imagine how it supports the mood in the game.

I agree that the main theme is completely unoriginal, and frankly, boring. I can only hope that players will literally only hear it on the title screen, and nowhere else in the game.
Morning In Karthal sounds good to me! Certainly not as good as King/Romero, but I'll take it!

The song of main theme gives me a feeling of majestic achievement. It creates an atmosphere of peace and tranquil a while after listening to the song. Not very impressed, but i say so simply because i was so scared playing M&M games as well as listening to its music when i was just a child. XD You know, scary monsters came along with horrifying songs are always impressive. I mean no offense, just out of my first thought.

Give it time guys, you can't really compare a music that accompanied dozens of hours of gameplay with a 60-seconds preview heard out of context ;)

Ah...I try the main theme again. Well, it like a glory moment after our heroes have conquered all the enemies. Hmmm, maybe it's good as an ending theme or at a final boss fight.
Lastjack
@MARZHIN93 Yes but we can compare the two and tell our first impressions ;)
Main theme is really too classical for me ... Got the feeling that i heard it dozens of time before in other movies/games, although it is the first time i listen to it ...
The second is far more immersive and ... magical ;)
Well maybe you could give us a sample where the main theme will be played ? Like main menu or else ?

The sample sound good to me. I also agree that songs sound different in the background of a game than just listening to. Just like in the movie. For example the battle theme between Darth Maul and Qui Gan Jin and Obi Won Kenobi from a Phantom Menace, sounds great in the movie. I don't like it so much though to listen to on cd.

I thought the first selection was excellent. For some unforeseen reason the second selection would not play.

Morning in Karthal is excellent! Somewhat reminiscent of MurmurWoods in MM8.
jsebela
I agree, Morning in Karthal is magical enough to be main theme. That combination of flute and gong?/drum? has something unique and really melodic.
rsurdal
I think both are good, and both are needed for a great variety of songs in MMX. You have the epic theme song, to the more peaceful Morning in Karthal.

Jason is really really great composer! Glad he works on MM franchise.

Being long-time musician myself, I have to say both tracks are well composed and arranged and good pieces of music. I only thing people miss from the maintheme is THE hookline which immediately sticks to your brain and makes it distinctive. This is not the case on first listen and needs some turns to open up.
BrianCorvello
I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I'm kind of new here... This game is something you get from a Uplay account, right? Exactly what else do you need for it?
Maomor
@Aeon1977: after listening again I agree with you. The composition of instruments is good, it just lacks the hookline or a melody to remember.
dafunkjoker
To be honest I enjoyed listening to both sound snippets.
The main theme made me feel like flying over a mystical landscape and "morning in karthal" gave me the shivers because it sounded so oldschool with that special touch...
By the way I think telling the truth is the main reason for this platform BUT I am sure everyone here can tell us his/her opinion without being rude or disrespectful ;)

Morning in Karthal is good for a background, in-game music. But "Main theme"? I can't remember a single phrase of it. This is a typical example of movie cast scroller music.

@andy_russell:
Haha you know what, you're exactly right! Without having re-listened to the tracks, I can still remember what Morning In Karthal sounded like. But the main theme, I can't remember any of it. All they have to do is hire a deep-sounding male actor to do a voiceover and voilà, it's exactly like every single movie trailer that has ever been made.
If that isn't a true testament to just how bland and cookie-cutter Main Theme was, I don't know what is.

Well truth be told the Main Theme was meant to be usable as trailer music as well.

Main theme sounds epic, the first 20 seconds reminded me of the game of thrones theme song. there's a definite hook there. Morning in K is good ambient brings back the MM8 soundtrack
