I really enjoyed "The Elementalist" and "Autumn in Ascalon".
Oh, this song, as mentioned above, completely me caught me by surprise. I can't believe I never heard this song before.

Ugh, now I want to play Oblivion again....
The crystal oasis is my favorite music in the game. I used to go there and just vanquish areas back before hardmode and titles, just so I could listen to the music.

Could have vastly improved the feel of the campaign if they'd used more stuff like that for combat music.

I love all his music. Oblivion/Morrowind/Guild Wars, it's all good music. But I do agree, it is used not to the best ability in Guild Wars, not like Morrowind (I love Morrowind's soundtrack, so many memories).

Like anything, as time goes on the quality of work dwindles. Perfect example would be looking at all 4 GW releases over the years, same goes for the music. Prophecies had the best tracks, Factions was very good as well, then nightfall started slacking off and EoTN is just meh with all that stupid Battle music.

Guild Wars still has music? That stuff has been turned off since beta...Maybe some nice Tool or Jethro inserted in game I would turn it back on.

The graphics, visual effects, quality of quests, and variety of enemies beg to differ.

Agreed OP. It's being terribly used. The only way to listen to some of my favorite tracks was to go in the ingame shop and select a campaign. Way to go!
Music is awesome but all you hear is the same track, the so called "battle music". And the outposts never had a music signature for me, do they actually play different tracks in each outpost? Never noticed anything like that.

Hmm.. I disagree. I think it's your nostalgia feeling kicking in, probably you started playing GW with prophecies, that's why you like it most. I started with Nightfall, then EotN,Factions and Prophecies last, and I find nightfall the best and prophecies worst

Soule really hit an apex with Nightfall. It's one of the broadest, most inventive, and best orchestrated soundtracks of his entire career.
As far as his GW stuff, my personal preference is for the Factions soundtrack. I don't like EotN soundtrack. It's my least favorite of the four.

It strikes me as something that would be used in the Realm of Torment. Maybe someday, right?

I like a few songs from every campaign. Bought all the DirectSong stuff, too. I have to say, though, that the only pack I regret buying (for more than one reason) was the GW:EN one. There's only that one good piece that plays in Asura lands that I like; the rest don't hold a candle to Factions and NF.

There are distinct tracks for each region: Ascalon, Shiverpeaks, Kryta and so on. But all outposts in a region do feature the same music. Over and over again

Mine has been turned right down too i usually listen to music of teamspeak/ventrilo but just for a change i am turning it on today until i am sick of hearing the same old tune again.
I actually don't mind guild wars music, most of it is pretty nice but when you have hear anything a few times it gets annoying...

When I'm in the mood for listening to the in-game music I put the music slider at max and turn everything else down to about 1/3 of the bar, then crank up the volume button on my speakers so the game sounds are at "normal level."
I like to leave the game idling in Granite Citadel like that.
Mostly I have the game music turned off though so I can listen to webradio or my own music when I play.
(no, the webradio doesn't slow down my connection in any measurable way. Got a 28 megabit line so a 64k or 128k stream is barely noticable...)
