    Im just sitting at the menu screen right now, listening to them. The difference between synth stuff and a real orchestra is amazing.

    If you want to extract the music, this program works. The audio files are found in [pa main folder]\pa\media\pa\audio. Don't upload the extracted files anywhere. Don't do it unless you want the hurt.


    You don't want the hurt.

    Yes it is! And we knew this was going to be worth it. This is a huge day for Howard!

    Best stretch goal ever.

    I have to agree with everyone that the orchestrated music is awesome!
    (On a side note I attempted to extract the files, but when I play the music it sounds like it's been sped up. )

    Any chance Howard could chime in on the forums? I don't think I've ever seen him on here and there are lots of people here that'd like to congratulate him on his epic soundtrack!

    I remember when i heard Howard in the KS trailer :
    " ...we want very emotional music, music that makes you want to destroy planets..." ! !

    I lol'd and thought, at this time, that it was a very funny joke ;)

    But the truth is that HE DID IT !
    When i launched the gamma and heard the orchestral music for the very first time, i was like :

    " woooooOOOOOWWWWW ! LET'S GO DESTROYING PLANETS ! ! !

    Congrats Sir Mostrom ! And thanks for this amazing job.

    If you want to listen to the music directly without crackling, use the program 'musicplayerex' and follow the instructions in the fsb troubles subfolder. Then navigate to the files in the PA directory. It seems to be a java program so make sure you have java.

    My internets are actually letting me down on this one. I can find a lot of bacon cake, and obviously a lot of bacon pizza. I even found pizza cake... I can't find an image of bacon pizza cake though. Should we patent this?

    I always thought to myself that the music was already very good and you'd probably have to be some sort of audiophile to notice much of a difference.
    But I was wrong.

    Gosh me, I'm a thousand miles away from my pc and going straight to work from the airport on monday. Arrrrrgh.

    Thankfully the remote village where my dad lives has 50/10 broadband so I'll remote in from my iPad tomorrow just to listen to it. Now that I think about it this remote village in eastern Europe has better broadband than my flat in central London. BT should just crawl into a hole in shame.

    Haven't managed to have a proper listen yet (only played one game, and one can't really listen properly while playing) but I like what I hear so far.

    Good work Howard :)
