Always enjoy when you drop by with your work, Dan.

Not gonna lie, we stalk your Soundcloud a little over on our Discord and saw these pop up. They are pretty incredible. Personally, I really like the new Ancients 3. Excellent work as always.

[Mobius]

Thank you for doing this - it's a magnificent contribute to this community. I already have some plans on where to use these upgraded tracks. 

[Goober5000]

Excellent work sir.  I will certainly pick up a copy of Volume II.

[Nyctaeus]

Man, you are already a living legend here... But I'm glad to see that you want to be even more legendary :].

[ShadowsOfLight]

Congrats - glad to see you had a chance to remaster and put these out as standalone releases! I will be adding them to my Spotify library - once I am back to work from my parental leave I'm sure they will be in my regular rotation Hope that the new project is fun and fruitful!

I will always go back to the FS1 and FS2 soundtracks as my biggest inspiration for getting into video game music. Thank you for your wonderful work.

[Danimal]

Thanks guys!
I actually had so many extra tracks from Red Faction days, that I spilled them over into Volume II https://danwentz.hearnow.com/, which should be offically out in a few days.

I promise, Freespace is next!

Speaking of which, I just compiled this video of the intro music which you may enjoy. This type of stuff helps get me in the mood!

More to come! Stay healthy, stay strong and above all, game on!

That was amazing Dan. We're blessed to have you here with us. 

[karajorma]

Yeah. Loved the video, so nice to just hear the music.

[Colonol Dekker]

You do good choonz pal 👌👌🎸🎸

[Danimal]

Thank you guys!

Here is a link to a rough video of the updated "Freespace Ending Score" as it was finished earlier today. Before I register it as my first official classical work (with BMI) I really need some help on coming up with a good title.

https://www.facebook.com/1302152250/videos/10219177011198426/

Along the way it had to be transposed up a whole step just to make it work with physical instruments.

While we're at it, the opening score is (re)finished as well, and also needs an offical title. 

I figured this would be the place to ask for informed suggestions. I hope to submit "GameOn Vol III" (which will be all Freespace) by the end of next week.

Thank you.

Hmm, an interesting problem to have!  For the ending cutscene, the transcript might be a source of inspiration.  In fact, reading the transcript, an idea immediately came to mind -- how about Liberation?

For the opening cutscene score, I suggest Phantoms, from the description in the cutscenes menu:

Deep in the Ross 128 system, the GTA Installation Riviera picks up a distress call from a Terran pilot.  A disbelieving communications officer listens as the pilot frantically requests cover from phantom attackers.

[Colonol Dekker]

I give the following for consideration by the Lord Danimal.
 
-"Domus Refugium" or simply "Domus"

-Softly victorious

-"PRAEVENTORES"

-"Terra est" /"Earth is" either or.

-Destroyers wane

-Journeys end

-Dan's classical galactic space combat experiment in (insert correct musical key as needed)

[Iain Baker]

These tunes are superb, thank you for sharing :-)

[Danimal]

Thanks guys... really good suggestions. It appears the answer has been right under my nose...

"... All the jump points from earth are gone, but the Shivans can rebuild them. I'm told we can expect them again, but not in my lifetime. Such is liberation."

[Colonol Dekker]

It's a fix!

[ShadowsOfLight]

Really good suggestions so far.

I like having a nod to the "Destroyers" for the opening track. Here are a couple of additional ideas around that:

- "Return of the Destroyers": Referencing the Shivan return (w.r.t. the Ancients).

- "Shadow of the Destroyers": Refers to the "shadow" the Shivans cast over the Terrans/Vasudans, as well as the Lucifer fleet being only a "shadow" of the Shivan armada (as discovered in FS2)

Excited to listen to GameOn Vol III!

[Danimal]

Just finished mixing, here is the current track list for Game On Vol III.  If anything here appears out of order, please let me know.

* Would love to hear ideas for titles.

Phantoms <- This is actually the main menu score, not the opening cutscene but I like the name.
Ancients I
*Breifing I
Fortress
March
Ancients II
Chaser
Worlds Apart
Ancients III
*Briefing II
Spook
Haunted
Ancients IV
Marauder
Strike
Ancients V
Monolith
Darkside
*Debrief I  <- This is the standard victory track - opposite of below
*Fail  <- V E R Y  dark stuff
Liberation

Unless my math is off it's showing total play time as 1 hour 24 min 23 sec. This is by a landslide my favorite release so far. I plan to be sumitting to CD Baby/BMI by end of this week. I also will have previews on my updated Soundcloud channel soon.

Thanks!

Fail = Anticipatory dread / desperation / eye of the abyss looking back into the deepest reaches of my own black heart.

"Whoopsy" seems a bit underwhelming so I'd put
 "Dire"
 "helpless"
"inevitable"
As my suggestions.
