some love for the soundtrack in Dirt Rally

Recommended Posts

I really love the music in this game.  kinda minimal, atmospheric, and groovin'. who is responsible for this sound?  they should get a raise. :)

Great, innit? I miss the days when games had original music. Here's one of my all time faves.

Fun fact, Stephen Root now works at none other than Codies.

I absolutely loved Dirt 2's, one of my all time favorites along with skate 2, but it like the atmosphere dirt rally's soundtrack creates. I would like there to be maybe a couple of different menu themes though, and the world rx multiplayer song is awesome!

Wow, thanks for that link. Didn't know about this release. And now I have official tracknames for some in-game themes :)
Reporter - Stuart Ross? Or did CM licensed reporter's tracks?
Also, I'd like to hear trailer themes without SFXs.

PS: Grace Under Pressure - unused - This track was included in game's files and I was curious why they didn't use it in-game.

I think the soundtracks to the Colin McRae games are some of my all-time favorites. I spent many hours in CMR 04, I loved the menu design and the whole presentation of the game and the music was such a good match. Listening to it brings back lots of good memories, like going to Japan for the first time in the career mode and struggling through absolutely torrential rain and thunderstorms, or trying to decide which tires to choose when you know one of the next two stages will be dry and the other will be rainy. Good times :)

CMR 2.0 has really great music as well, although I missed the game when it was out so I don't have as much of a nostalgic connection with it. Come to think of it, a lot of rally games have great music. I'm getting all misty-eyed thinking about the Dirt 1 and RBR menu themes now.

That's great. Listening to Main Menu right now and it's the same tune, just a different mix... love it
