Additional music for Barbarossa?

[frontovika]

The music in the Unity of Command series have always been fantastic. I hope you will consider releasing more music for the Barbarossa DLC. Perhaps a call-back to the 3 music tracks that played in the original UoC?

As far as UoC 2 goes ~ I really like Catchplay, Company 49, and Sims.

We plan to provide additional music with each DLC. Blitzkrieg DLC has 5 original tracks, and we are planning something similar for Barbarossa DLC.

In the future, when there are enough of these new tracks, we will likely release "Soundtrack Vol.2" but for now the new tracks are available only as part of DLC - you will notice that the music is different when playing the Blitzkrieg campaign.

I will talk to Bruno Babić, the composer, to take a look at re-releasing the original UoC tracks at some point. Incidentally, supporters of his work should take a look at purchasing the UoC II Soundtrack on Steam, as a share of the royalties goes to supporting Bruno's work directly.

Thank you tomislav! I'm glad to hear that. I have already bought the OST on STEAM to support Bruno's work!! The music really complements the gameplay without being obnoxious. It has a mix of sombre and uplifting ambient music, which I really appreciate.

I have noticed the music is different when playing as the Axis; but some of the tracks are a tad boring and lacks melody, with the exception of "sim", "elegy", and "dawn", and "company 49", As mentioned, I think Catchplay is the best of all the tunes.

I do hope the original UoC tracks could be re-mastered, remixed, or added back into Barbarossa. If Bruno is familiar with Jeremy Soule or inon Zur's work on Company of Heroes, hopefully he could find further inspiration there. As well as Andreas Waldetoft for Hearts of Iron. Also, the music for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad and Rising Storm are fantastic.

As you can see, I am very passionate about a game's music score, it really adds to the atmosphere. Thank you.

+1 to an updated sountrack with the DLC music.

Hi all :)

Thank you for your kind comments and suggestions, frontovika. I've composed 4 new tracks for the Barbarossa DLC and I really hope that you'll like them.

I have the tracks/projects from the first game on my computer, but it will take some time for me to recreate them as some resources are missing (it's hard to believe that 10 years have passed already!). The music from all the DLCs will hopefully end up in OST vol. 2, and I'll do my best to include the 4 original tracks in it as well.

sincerely,
Bruno

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts Bruno! Your music is really good, and perfect for immersion in the game.

The latest music are all pretty good, but I think "Motherland" wins the highlight award; followed by "The Keep" as runner-up. I thought "Winter" didn't have a particular melody, but just my tastes. So far, out of all your music tracks for UoC 2 - I like Catchplay, Sims, and Motherland.

I hope you will do more for the inevitable "Stalingrad", "Kursk" or "Bagration" DLCs please :D

Glad to hear you still have the original tracks, they definitely helped to convey the grim bleak reality of the Eastern Front.
