Has historical speeches and commercials...possibly old radio shows too. I used to listen to Richard Rodgers' "Victory in the Pacific" while playing PacWar.

Status: offline 		Yeah, Pacific General soundtrack was good. Check out wolfpack radio at the Wolfpack League site. I'm listening to it now and it just had a Churchill speech in between big band tunes. Haven't heard any "pacific theatre" oriented stuff yet.

Status: offline 		Guess that means I'm going to spend a while searching the net for that one - sure won't find that in the kiddie music stores specializing in Brittany and NSYNC - both of which my son hates.
He's still listening to my old Stones and Zep stuff - and some good stuff - Beethoven, etc. Got to find Victory at Sea though - I used to have vol. 2 as well. Any ideas where you saw it.

Status: offline 		I really agree that Victory at Sea is the perfect music for the game. I my opinion, the greatest work by an American composer. Richard Rogers also used much of this music in the great musical South Pacific (or vice versa). I have it on CD, but I've never seen Vol. II on CD.

However, the long arm of ASCAP would certainly stop Matrix from using any of this music. The real question would be whether Matrix will utilize any form of protection requiring that the game CD be in the drive. If so, can one CD drive be utilized for music while the other contains the game?

Status: offline 		So what you are saying, Mr. Heath, is that the game CD would have to be in the default CD/DVD drive when the game is loaded, but then it might be possible to remove the game CD and load a music CD. That sounds great, but how would that work in conjunction with whatever operational/battle sounds are included with the game. One supposes a smart person could find a way to utilize the mixer included with all modern sound cards.... and Matrix has lots of smart people.
