I liked some of those too, but a few of my favorites (like Heroism) apparently aren't actually made by him.

The music in Generals was done by Bill Brown.  He's better known for composing the Rainbox Six series of games including the main theme and he has a very Hans Zimmer like style to him.  Basically thats what they wanted in C&C Generals and thats what he gave them and its a very good soundtrack, I'm sorry if it doesn't go along with what some of you thought it should be, but I was very impressed with the quality of the Generals soundtrack.  It was done to sound like a serious thriller movie and thats what it is.  Generals is part of the C&C franchise but it was well established with Red Alert that the C&C name was about the style of gameplay and not specifically the story in question.

Generals was a natural evolution...I expect C&C3 will be somewhat similar to Generals in many ways.  Tiberian Sun dropped the ball while RA2, RA, and the original C&C was what the gameplay style was all about.

I liked 'Lone Trooper' or something like that from Tiberian Sun's soundtrack.

I remember (from the few times I played it) the music from Generals making me feel like I was more a part of the game. Specifically I remember the GLA having a middle eastern sound to its music that only made me feel more as if I were a part of the game.

I think thats the difference.  Frank Klepacki did these wonderful techno/alternative/ambient pieces that sort of fit the style of gameplay but not the game itself.  It worked really well with C&C as it had this sort of near future techno feel to it.  I really liked that games music (Act on Instinct is my favorite).  With Red Alert he went more with the electric guitar and that worked well because of the theme of the game and it felt more 1950/1960s like.  Tiberian Sun is where I think he started to loose its way...it never had a really good rocking track and everything was ambient but almost a-tonal in feel sometimes so there was never anything that you could really hum along to.  Just a few tracks here and there that we're ok.  Red Alert 2 had some outstanding pieces (Hell March 2, 200 Meters, etc.) but some abyssmal ones as well.  But they were all loosely themed rather than being specifically so with the Generals soundtrack that sits more in the background than the foreground and operates strictly within the theming of the game.

That would be known as a trailer, not a trainer.

Rather, the GLA has music that sounds like the Western concept of Middle Eastern sounds.

Anyway, I've been noticing something (or the lack of something, actually) that I'm surprised nobody's pointed out yet: we've yet to see any NOD units whatsoever - not to mention the mysterious 3rd side. Everything has been strictly GDI.

As opposed to the Israeli concept which is muffled by a concrete wall and teflon helmet?

True, I don't think they'll show much on ze alienz until later. But it would be nice to see some Obelisks.

Noticed that...I suspect the GDI side has the most conventional units so they are showing those off first and then moving onto the NOD and third faction as time goes on.  I really hope the third side isn't aliens at all but Cabal representing their influence.  The Alien thing is sort of nifty but I don't think I like it being central to the story...they should be mysterious and in the shadows.

Right. That's what I meant.

Har-dee-har.

You'd be surprised how much one hears Arabic music (as if one can designate music like that, but for simplicities' sake...) on the radio around here.
