It's officially the 12th here and the soundtrack is out! Here's the track listing. First impressions are VERY good. Will post more thoughts once I've listened through!
Mashithamel (Young Love) - catchy song, one of the pop-ier ones on the album.
Moiraine Sedai - a menacing and suspenseful violin intro. Softens into harmonic majestic vocals. A faint trace of Peter Cox. The unnerving violin comes and goes. Beautiful yet dangerous. Very fitting.
Ta'maral'ailen (Web of Destiny) - uplifting vocals with a folksong lilt. Folky violin with a kick of electric guitar.
Aes Sedai (Servants of All) - think I hear the carnyx on this one. Driving bass and percussion. Unsettling and a bit intense.
Ost Ninto Shostya (On Your Knees) - catchy guitar motif. Kinda sounds like it could be a Linkin Park song (in a good way). No idea what it relates to in the show 🤔
Al'Cair Sei (Goldeneyes) - this is the music from the start of the Winespring Inn clip. It's got twangy and slide-y elements like an old country western. Which is basically like how Lan made his entrance (spurs and all!)
Aman Syndai (Dragon Reborn) - this is the "ahh ahh" clip we got in the logo reveal. Peter Cox bringing his glorious vocals again.
Noriv al Zaffid (Two Halves of One Whole) - fairytale-esque glockenspiel over soft vocals and strings. Feels very mysterious.
Wab'shar (Bonded) - haunting, ethereal yet hopeful. Acoustic and electric guitar over synths, flute. Peter Cox on this one again!
Mordero'Sheen (Bringers of Death) - this has got to be the trollocs theme. Creepy demonic gutteral sounds escalating from whispers into terrifying chants. Driving percussion, electro synths. This is the sonic equivalent of being at a murder rave while bugs crawl under your skin.
Overall - loving it! It's a mishmash of diverse musical influences, cleverly brought together to make something wholly distinct and unique. The themes are emotive and powerfully evocative. This is going to redefine the fantasy genre. Killer stuff from @Lornebalfe 🔥
